Buffistas

We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And well, not anal. My records aren't even in alphabetical order.

I can vouch for that, which was a real bugger when I was trying to raid his collection on the way through. From now on I'm calling him Ozymandias, because I gazed upon his works and despaired.

Re Pratchett, I tend to recommend Wyrd Sisters. For it is damn funny, and indicates that the guy can handle a plot as well.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Youse guys probably already did this, but I will still recommend Perdido Street Station.

It is weirder than me. That should not be possible.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, babe, we only have your word that it is. And you're biased. Wouldn't want to get in "contrapment"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Okay, show of hands. Which of the two characters on this book cover is speaking the title sentence?

If I only had a brain...

You both know that's a Photoshopped parody, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How can you tell?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh yeah... after Susan posted the link to that legitimate cover vote, I went back and found the spoof cover website we'd laughed about way back when. Lord of the Hissyfit and so forth...

"I'd rather discuss the permutations of swordplay, with an undertone of definite allusion to sex." Beverly, offering an example of when your characters give you 'tude.
