I'm so excited about Vampire Diaries. I LOVED the books when I was kid and I was convinced the show was going to be horrible and amazing. I'm so glad to hear my suspicions were correct.

Have fun with the rest of it! I'm so jealous you're there. :)

I actually might have to read the books, because Sheila tells me that they're trashy fun that know they're trashy fun, which I have no problem with, as opposed to, say, Twilight, which clearly thinks it's actually a really good Epic Romance.

CC is pretty excellent so far! I will continue reporting, probably, but maybe not because I'm lazy.

I haven't read them since I was, like, eleven, so I don't really know how self-aware they are, but I remember them being awesome! You know...when I was eleven. But I still love many things that I loved then! I should still see if I have my copies around some place.

Oh god, whatever you do, don't read the new sequel. It's like the worst fanfic sequel ever, except it's written by the author. She's apparently got some horrific fanfic, I mean, free stories on her site as well. A site which opens up with her in a manip with a unicorn. It's special.

Book fandom has been calling it VD for the last decade. Of course, with the new tv fans, it's hard to say what will happen. We were watching the Thomas Crowne Affair on the CW the other day (which, sadly, is either not as good as I remembered or doesn't do well with commercial breaks) and I was subjecting Jason to every VD promo and loling mightily. It looks horrific and fabulous.

Oh, good, so there's no chance fandom will be able to try and call it something else! :D This is excellent, because I really can't think of a better acronym for it.

IT IS SO HORRIFIC AND FABULOUS. Like, it doesn't even offend me in the way that Twilight does because it's just so completely over-the-top.
