Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

You know, reading that article, I am inexplicably tickled by the fact that the authors are planning a prequel.

I was more taken by the plans for a sequel, to contain the one last battle between God and Satan after the thousand-year reign of Christ.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Ah, I'd missed that, sumi. You're right, it is a little strange in that case. I do know of a few people who are producing LOTR fanfiction zines right now, but they're selling them online and not at cons.

Bill O'Reilly, who wrote one of the single unsexiest descriptions of going-down, ever

Must. Read. What book?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Dani, I think it was Betsy who linked it, ages back - the "seduction" scene.

Merciful heavens, it was bad. There was a line about "moments later, his tongue was flicking back and forth inside her".

Truly. Really really bad.

Yikes. Feel like I need a shower now (and not in a good way).

Always Anti-fascist!

Anyone else picturing Christ in a rather...vulnerable state? I really need to stop writing such dirty-minded people. Special Hell for this blasphemer...

Herding cats for fun

I've had some truck with fanficcers selling zines. They do charge for 'zines full of stories and sometimes art, but they're lucky to meet their production costs. This amounts to a labor of love, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This amounts to a labor of love, I think.

Yeah, nobody ever made it rich selling fanfic zines.

Exactly, and how sad is that? The book was meant to be porn. It's too crappy to be porn.

It makes me feel quite gifted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

sumi, zines are still alive and flourishing. Last con I went to, there were two or three dealer tables with zines.
