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."

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

No clue.

Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné if I'm not mistaken.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I can't even.

Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, the Melvinbone. Pretty influential stuff. There's also that "O, Prince" line that starts off Conan the Barbarian.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

SF/=Fantasy. Otherwise you have to argue with "OF Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit Of that Forbidden Tree..." and you lose , bitca.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Or possibly "Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost"

That's not fantasy, Jim. Dante totally did all that.
