Cindy, I was totally on board the wisecrack bus. I actually had the same reaction. Totally a good cause, excellent idea, just... yeah.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
How much do I love Smart Bitches? Thiiiiiiiis much.
This is fabulous.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
It really is fabulous.

Smart Bitches are fabulous, and those covers are SCARY! My god!
I've been really wanting to read the gay romance novel they reviewed recently (I'd been wanting to before that, too). Must go get it somewhere....

I love the comments thread devolves into a discussion of where to find the best Aragorn/Boromir slash. heh.

OK, this SO would not have happened without the movie.
Has anybody read the Honor Harrington books? A friend just recommended them to me, saying "If you liked Miles Vorkosigan..."

Really? I haven't read them (although I've read all the Vorkosigan books). Some of my Vorkosigan fan friends totally trash HH and Weber. I've gotten sort of a Bujold is to Weber what Buffy is to Charmed vibe out of the discussions. On the other hand, my Dad really likes Weber's writing. He's more old-school, F. Pohl/Asimov/Golden Age of SF-ish than I am.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love the Vorkosigan books, but couldn't stand Mary Sue Honor Harrington. Definite varying mileage.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I read the first Honor book, and decided not to read the rest. A bit too heavy on the battle maneuver descriptions and a bit too light on characterization for my taste.(and I love the Vorkosigan books) My DH likes the Honor books, for what that's worth.

Bujold is to Weber what Buffy is to Charmed
shudder
But I dig F. Pohl/Asimov/Golden Age of SF.
