Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

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."

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

Well, it's a very, very accurate portrayal of witchcraft.

Bwah. Bwahha. Bwahhahahahahaha.

I mean, yeah, I wish.

And I hate to disappoint, but I'm actually not Wiccan (just pagan, in the most generic and solitary of senses). That must be why none of my pincushion mice have worked out! Maybe I should convert....

Always Anti-fascist!

Hee. I sense a future TDS "Great moments in Pundritry" in that discussion!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What's the difference between Pagan and Wiccan? (I am dumb.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Candy and flying, obviously.

Essentially, Wiccan:Pagan::Catholic:Christian.

(Except for the part where "pagan" is a much broader and vaguer term than "Christian" -- it's more an umbrella term than anything with its own actual meaning. But it's handy for those of us who don't fit into any of the specific pagan religions with names and definitions.)

Also, Wiccans can play Quidditch.

Thanks!

Also, I want to be Wiccan so I can fly. It would be so handy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Astonishing Stories update: newcomer Jason Roberts, "7C," good stuff. I did not think you could write a horror short story about quasars, but guess what.

She's brilliant.

Marry me.

Yay, my first buffista proposal!

I do seem to remember that Rowling had nearly every ill in the Potter-verse treatable by chocolate, but I could just be projecting my own inner drama on the text.

Just Dementor exposure, right?
