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.

Does the author not know the cardinal rule of "every time Sarah McLachlan sings, somewhere a vampire gets his soul"?

that and the song is all about addiction and drug use. the way 'posession' is about a man who stalked her and then killed himself. kinda funny/ironic when you think of how many times those songs have been used. not just fan vids, but mainstream, used on tv or movies as soundtracks especially in touching, heart wrenching scenes.

I'd be willing to bet that every time Avril Lavigne sings, another fanfic writer loses both her soul and every vestige of literacy.
