I don't think it was Steph's, but I read a long Buffy/Spike that used that premise some time ago.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I think Theodore Sturgeon - or someone writing when he was - did something along those lines.
"Some of Your Blood".

One problem with Erin's notion - you'd have to keep them separate from each other. If everybody syncs up it defeats the purpose.

I woke up early this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I started reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and I just finished it.
Fantastic.

Hey. New board.
Isn't? What an unrealistic but totally awesome-to-read book!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Anyone read The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater? I just got it for Xmas. Apparently it's a YA and my parents heard the author interviewed on NPR.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I read "The Scorpio Races" by her, which I didn't love, but she can certainly write.

I liked Scorpio Races more than I thought I would. My students like The Raven Boys and I thought her werewolf books were good enough. Well, good enough to finish the first but not the rest.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Does anyone remember an old ghost story/supernatural tale about a haunted deck chair on a steamship or ocean liner? I have a vague memory of reading one decades ago and it being wonderfully creepy, but can't recall the title or author.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm reading a paperback I bought from alibris, and I found an old kodak slide in it that someone had obviously been using as a bookmark.
