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."

I had only read the highlights of the dramatic shenanigans here, but this morning it ended up in my Washington Post morning newsletter. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Latest breathless update: By-laws require that the president of the RWA have published at least 5 romances. President Slimeball had exactly 5, but now it seems that he faked the existence of one of those books.

Because books.

I just saw that. AND there's coverage in Entertainment Weekly about the general kerfuffle.

OMG, the imaginary book seems to have been part of an an April Fool's joke with Dreamspinner.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

If you write this as a story people would say it was too over the top.

I mean, IMO it went over the top the instant there was a guy named Damon Suede.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It's true. I'm used to not necessarily knowing who the president is -- it's not always a big name -- but when I heard Damon Suede I thought it was a joke.
