My internet is being wonky today. So (since it seems to be working right now) I'll try post a few little bits'n'pieces:

Joss talks about why he writes about strong women:

And for the sake of LJ:


Finally from the AOQ's post on 'Shadow'. KenM47 has a bizarre (and ultimately very unpleasant) theory that Dawn is responsible for pretty much everything in S5 - including Spike's love for Buffy and Joyce's tumour. Here's a little exchange that shows that AOQ has just the right sort of mind for BtVS:

AOQ replied:
Based on what I've seen so far, I'd have to pretty much disagree
entirely. An orb of Thesulah doesn't feelm or love, or, dare I say it,
have a soul. Dawn's a tool, but, at least based on what we know at
this point in the series, it seems like she's also a person.

What tends to matter in the Buffyverse is who someone is, not where
they came from.
