Teppy, no doubt the good end happily, and the evil end unhappily. After all, that is what is meant by fiction.
Especially in 3-volume (or longer) novels.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Well, I knew that -- I mean, I just want to see how it plays out.
Plus, I'm kind of impressed that the author has the sheer unmitigated temerity to decide he can write Christ, as a character in the novel.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
You know, reading that article, I am inexplicably tickled by the fact that the authors are planning a prequel.

Yeah, I may just go to the bookstore and skim through it.
Please note: I *never* planned to buy it. Those days are behind me.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity. I mean, I don't get a chance to use that quote every day.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
From the article:
"Many people have asked me, Do you think they will finish the series before Christ comes?"
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have met the ultimate spoiler-phobes.

Art Crawl!!!
I just read Donna Andrew's We'll Alway have Parrots and have a question based on one of the plot points for anyone else who has read it:
At fan conventions do they really sell fan fic? Because that strikes me as really un-necessary!

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Sumi, in the olden days before the net (wink), people put together zines of fanfic and sold them to cover the production costs.
IIRC, Suela has a collection of old Star Trek fanzines? I'm sure she knows more about the topic...
ETA whitefont since Sumi was worried about possible spoilage.
