Yeah, ita, only he won't be dancing--I have other, um, tasks for him to perform.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Wow, Hec. Nice.
Would a spy novel written by a woman sell? If it was as good as the top-rated male-authored spy stories, would there be a noticeable difference in sales?

If I only had a brain...
You mean like, say, the late Helen Macinnes?

For example.
Was/Is she as popular as Ludlum or Le Carre?

She was regularly on the bestseller lists; I don't know relative rankings.

In her heyday, MacInnes was quite well respected.

Also, women regularly write best-seller serial killer novels, like Patricia Cornwell. I don't see the spy genre being much different.

I want to at least have cake at the Scrappy party...impressive guest list.

Hmm. Any genre that really has to be written by a man to sell?
(starts contemplating being unemployed and writing spy novels while in Athens)

Not seen a lot of women's procedurals either. But in a world with Wambaugh and McBain...duh.(And that's Ed McBain, not the action hero portrayed by Rainier Wolfcastle.) I guess Cornwall counts, maybe.
