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

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.

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?

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.

From Metafilter -- recently found interview with Frank and Beverly Herbert on Dune from 1969.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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?

Could be. I thought that Harry got chocolate most of the time that he ended up in the infirmary. But it's been over a year since I last cracked a HP book, so I can't swear to it.

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

Not to mention EXPECTO PATRONUS!!!

If this a) works IRL and b) has anything to to with tequila, I may convert to Wicca.

Pretty sure chocolate's canonically good for everything. It's like an aspirin/valium.

[eta: Er, HPverse chocolate. But RealWorld!chocolate's pretty good too.]

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Oh, I agree, the books are a fantastically accurate portrayal of Wicca. Wicca spells are all in bastard Latin, after all. Anyone who's attended a baby-sacrifice naked black mass in a desecrated graveyard knows that.
