So, I'm late to the Season 8 Party because of a wedding, which I've probably been talking about ad nauseum. Having not yet read issue #36 myself, I'm indulging in meta and speculation, and I came across this quote that perfectly describes why I love TV show!Buffy, and why from issue #1, when she jumped out of that helicopter, I was seeing some new ( Read more... )

As some of you know, I just had the BFF's wedding week conflicting with Comic Wank Week, and DUDE, IT WAS HARD. Luckily, the other bridesmaids cheerfully consoled me with happy wedding plans whenever I'd get pessimistic about the comics, and some of my last interactions before submitting to the exhaustion known as bridesmaid-dom were with Emmie and ( Read more... )

So I fly down to Los Angeles for the BFF's wedding (on Friday) today. I'll probably have less time to post, though the wonderful fellow bridesmaids I'm throwing a bridal shower with tomorrow totally understand my need to keep up with Season 8 wank, and know I'll be shouting at my computer because someone will surely be wrong on the internet, if not ( Read more... )

Okay, so I got this bug in my brain about Spike and Cordy going around and confronting all the creators of the comics in some very metacritical crack fic, and I actually wrote it.

I'm a little drunk right now, and so in love with the idea of Spike and Cordy being BFFs, that I may just make this a series of ficlets.

Totally unbeta'd and written ( Read more... )

 
Yes, it's still hosting at an expensive fine dining restaurant I wouldn't normally be able to afford to eat at, but it's a job. And I have the opportunity to move from the host of the casual fine dining restaurant at the hotel to the "holy shit. you charge 100 bucks a plate?!" fine dining restaurant in a month if I impress the right people.

Don't wanna work on my resume. Wanna watch the verbal mud wrestling at Whedonesque. Told Emmie and Lauren I'm totally cheerleading for them from my comfortable position completely outside the debate. And armchair coaching. Discourse is a lot like sports. Insert appropriate sports metaphor here. Something about passing the ball to Maggie . . . see, ( Read more... )

So here are the nine little ficlets I wrote for ineffort's Ladyfest '10 Ficathon. I'm rather proud of them, because it's really one of the first times I've actually put some fiction out there for the world to see. I'm notorious for doing the planning and starting phases of big long fics that inevitably get dropped and end up nowhere, so little ficlets are ( Read more... )

(Okay, so I totally titled this post what I did because I really wanted to use this icon. I've never been able to use this icon, and I really, really wanted to. Yes, I'm childish.)

( A Vindication of the Opinions of Emmie . . . or it's just me, making some of my rambling comments to Emmie into an actual post. Complete with rambling. )

My therapist is kinda awesome. When there's really nothing exacerbating the depression in my life, she lets me ramble on about the Buffy comics, and now understands fandom terms like a pro (she's a New York Jew, so she told me I could teach her fandom terms and she'd teach me Yiddish words so I can impress all the Jews running Hollywood someday), ( Read more... )

I finally got a paid account, and I'm messing with the poll function for the first time. So, with the revelations of #35 now well known, I'm wondering who everyone thinks is the real Big Bad of Season 8?

Poll Who's The Villain?
