I better start to make print outs of my favorite fan fics so that I´ll survive the post Apocalypse.

Nah - 2012? I guess that's when the world ends and lasses like you and me march off to hell.
:o

Good point. We still need to trade some recs, if memory serves. I could read Spuffy happily this weekend.
I love one comment - I can't remember if it's actually in the series or if it's from a slash story - but Xander is lamenting needing to know the plural of the world apocalypse.

MEXICO CITY – Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.
Or is it?
Definitely not, the Mayan Indian elder insists. "I came back from England last year and, man, they had me fed up with this stuff."

Quite so, Clyde. You can always be counted on as the voice of reason. ;D
It's not just the Mayans who zeroed in on 2012 as the end of some cycle. The I Ching has also been used to support the apocalyptic theories:

I just hope I'm not cheated out of seeing "The Hobbit, Part Two" by the big fracas in question. ;)

I can't leave behind the ones I haven't even read or listened to yet, can I ? What was the point of all that anticipation, otherwise? Surely Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Handel, Haydn, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Shostakovich and their fellow spirits, musical, literary and artistic, will survive the end of time?

Call me crazy, but I would have included Mozart and Beethoven, too. ;D

And J.S. Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli! ;)
