Product Description:
Allyson Beatrice lives a not-quite-ordinary life. Her job and almost everyone she knows are the result of spending too much time on the Internet talking about vampires, slayers and lesbian witches. And her encounters are even more unusual than you'd imagine. A hilarious collection of true stories from Allyson's days as one of the Internet's leading cult TV fan gurus, her mind-boggling escapades include meetings with network executives in dark steakhouses to try to save doomed TV shows and one hastily arranged wedding for two committed Buffy fans. Honest, emotional and side-splittingly snarky, Allyson Beatrice brings a fresh voice to these wild but true stories. Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? welcomes you to a fun and sometimes bizarre world where stupidity frustrates, wit triumphs and connections are made in most unlikely ways...a world, in fact, not too different from our own.

I was originally drawn to this book because of the name. Then I read the back cover which talked about how this book came about because she was this huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and since I am too a huge fan of BtVS I figured that I should read it.
The thing is that this book is not about BtVS or Angel, it's about how her original love of these two shows led her to the world of internet forums where she became a regular on several talking about Buffy, Vampires and Joss Whedon. ... Read More

Allyson Beatrice is a writer gifted for using humorous, laugh out loud phrases while viewing the world through an honest pair of glasses. Her comments about the generosity and wonderfulness of the online community is smack-on and is universal not only to the Buffy boards, but to places like Bookcrossing.com as well. The book is a quick read and made me want to somehow hang out with her. Yup, she created a Beatrice Fan-gurl in me!

If you pick up this book expecting it to be the ultimate insider's look at Buffy, Angel or even Firefly, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you appreciate witty writing with more than a touch of snarkiness and want an inside look at the intersection of online communities, people who love shows like Buffy, Angel or Firefly enough to spend time posting about them, and the writers and creators of those shows, you will love the book.
I note that several reviewers were upset by the ... Read More

From the description, I expected this book to be laugh-until-your-sides-ache funny, a sort of David Sedaris does the internet. Wrong. Not funny. Also, hoped for some behind the scenes action on my favorite show ever, Firefly. Turns out, the author loves Joss Whedon, but hated this show. This book is a personal memoir, essays on the wonderful power of fandom and the great friends she's made, how the web is not a dangerous, scary place.
For a hilarious read which lampoons sci-fi fandom, try Bimbos ... Read More
