OH FUN! In general my tea party would be mostly awesome lady writers--Eudora Welty and Virgina Woolf and Octavia Butler and Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz--but Faulkner also has to be there, and he's such a drunk! No doubt he'd be rowdy. And John Donne would be preaching or writing bawdy poetry or something--possibly both at the same time.
I actually need to look into more fae mythology because I honestly haven't read a ton of it. But I'm having fun developing my own little mythology.
To wit, in the Buffy realm, I flail ALL OVER THE PLACE about the fanged four.
OH SO MUCH LOVE. I totally agree.
Like I'm a Richelle Mead stan: she writes vampire lit with embarrassing covers (YA needs new cover-makers in general), but she's a Russophile and a mythology/religion freak, her worldbuilding is solid, her vampire political system is full of complicated corrupt monarchy, and her heroine is a full-fledged badass.
Okay, that has immediately gone onto my to-read list. That sounds glorious.
