Part 23 of Water Hold Me Down is here, if you're looking for it.

I did nothing today. NOTHING!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA!

Actually, I did some work on Water Hold Me Down and took a stab at my long-delayed Africander soundtrack.

I'm thinking seriously of just dumping doing the linear notes for it and just posting the soundtrack (I think I changed the order in one or two spots) with mara_sho's covers.

Aside from that, I did manage to take a peak at Whedonesque to see if there was any new news on the BtVS cast and crew in projects.

So, naturally, the buzz (and what howls there are!) about the awfulness of Queen of the Slayers, Nancy Holder's post-'Chosen' novel. And no, I ain't linking because, Holy Canoli! Badness surely abounds.

( Cut for spoilers, if you dare... )

When I look at that, I weep for the amount of work I put into fanfic, which I give away for FREE!

If this is the kind of shit that gets published for tie-ins, someone clue me in on how I can jump on the gravy train, because I so would be all over this.

So, can anyone who's actually read the book spill the details on whether this is actually true? How about some details about Xander, Willow, and Giles, since their stories aren't inspiring 'roid rage in whoever has read the novel?
