Buffy ,'Lessons'


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."

It might be a little too sexy, given what she was talking about on the radio, to teach in secondary. Of course, that might have just been her research and nsm the contents of the book. She was revelling in teasing the host with how UNpuritanical society was.

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

Harry Potter & the HBP victim leaked?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Ah, the adventures of Harry Potter and the rigged bet.

"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

I want to see the Ents come gunning for him to avenge all the trees killed to print bazillions of 700 page books.

Up with the sun

So I remember reading a sci-fi book many years ago where the plot was that an alien race planned to exterminate human beings, but refrained because "there's only one of [them]" -- all human consciousness was connected into one, like in a jellyfish or slime mold but on a larger scale.

Does anyone have any idea what this was? I mentioned it to my husband recently, and he thinks I'm insane. Thanks.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Does anyone have any idea what this was?

Ummmm . . . . By the end of the Forever saga by Haldeman, they were, but, um, nope.

move out and draw fire

Does anyone have any idea what this was?

Rings a bell, but it's kind of the plot of the Alpha Centauri computer game, so I may be confused.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It sounds like a cross between The Puppet Masters and Childhood's End.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
