Buffy novel

[doyle]

I nearly broke down and bought Chosen, the novelisation of season seven. What I flipped through looked okay, writing wise - until I turned to the Spuffy snuggling scene in Touched. And when a line in italics read "In the arms of an angel..." I thought "oh, it's not..." But yes, it was songfic. Sarah McLachlan songfic, in the middle of one of the published novels. Okay, only a few lines of the song were quoted, but still. That cracked my shit up.

Couldn't afford to buy it, but it amused me vastly.

Agree totally. Fanfic spoils you really; it's free, it's there, there's lots of it...and so much is so _good_.

I realise it was probably a rush job, and I'm not sure if the blame lies with author or publisher, or both, but it was poor. Very poor. Rarely seen so many errors in a published book. I could have opened the book anywhere and found one, they were that common.
