Alan Ball

By Lividity on November 3rd, 2009 Scifiwire recently spoke with Alan Ball, writers Raelle Tucker & Alexander Woo, and were rewarded with a bunch of spoilers. Some we’ve heard before and some not. What I really love is their title for them… 12 big-ass spoilers for True Blood season 3 ::::::::Spoiler Warning!:::::::: Thanks to RC Bill won’t be back for a while.

By Lividity on October 21st, 2009 Konfetti Guest correspondent, fanfiction writer extraordinaire and friend of the site, Konfetti, discusses how True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels can indeed peacefully coexist – really, this is not a joke.

So far, there are nine books and I’ve read them ALL! (What? I don’t get a cookie for that? ... Read Full Story
