Bwahahahaha...
For that book MeMe a couple days back, I picked up that Ats/BtVS book, Heat, that I hadn't opened yet. Well, I did last night and didn't get even get past the first chapter I was so uninterested. It just seems...off. Like Lilah (who, I am no expert on, admittedly) seemed way out of character to me. And did you guys know it's based off the plot/character/backstory from freakin' She?! I never would have bought it, had I known that. Unless it came with extra footage of Wes and Angel dancing. Which I'm pretty sure it didn't, lmfao.
Anyway, I tried to read more tonight, and it's like pure fanfiction. BAD FANFICTION at that. Sorry, Nancy Holder, I'm not impressed so far.
Okay, on to the funny part. All you really need to know is that this is the scene set up: Angel is on the subway, sitting next to a kid who is holding a boombox, which he had been blaring and rocking out to or whatever.
Now, read this excerpt:
"Who were you listening to?" he asked the kid.
"Kane," the kid replied. "Awesome group. Lead dude used to be a lawyer."
"Huh," Angel said. He tapped his fingers on the sack - tacos, a present for Fred - and thought, I'll ask Lorne if he knows that group's work. See if there's something on a CD that sounds like what I heard.
Is that not the fanficiest thing in the world? My eyes just about rolled out of my head they were rolling so hard. It's expected to be found here and there in fic, but in a published book? Whatthehellever. I suppose next some Doyle reference will appear and they'll say he looked like that kid on Roseanne. Grr argh. And the tacos. Could we get through one mention of Fred, like, ever, that doesn't involve tacos? Blah.
And let's get back to the fact that no one - NO ONE - would be rocking out to Kane in the subway. I just don't see it happening, and I love Kane. LOVE them. Run the fanlisting love them. But this writer obviously never heard their work if they think it's subway boombox rocking music, lmfao, 'cause it's so not.
Anyway, I just had to share, 'cause it's so bad it's hilarious. Heh.
Now back to bed where I belong, lmfao, I actually have stuff to do tomorrow! LOL.
ETA:
I found another treat in it too, lmfao:
...were going to the Sun Cinema to see a sneak of the new flick starring Nathan Fillion.
My God, when will the madness end?! LMFAO.
