Happy Buffy Day! :)

[elisi]

Third time is supposed to be lucky, right? I keep being interrupted trying to write this teeniest of posts...

Oh and wasn't Buffy *cute* back then? ::points to icon::

Anyway, apparently people thought that my post yesterday meant that I was somehow upset over how the 'issue' was handled... this is not so. I guess it comes down to what I think of as the TGiQ factor - you expect a Monet and get Kermit instead. But hey - Kermit's funny! Also, it very clearly shows that *that* issue (you know the one!) really, really isn't an issue anymore! *is pleased*

Re. whether the comics are canon, then personally I think I'll happily use all the various info we get re. how the New Council operates, how many Slayers there are etc in my own fic, since details like that are boring to work out on my own.

And now I must go...

Heh! Saw you got a visit from a Spike-hater. They're really enjoying themselves at the moment, aren't they?

Poor things! You've got to feel sorry for them really.

She sure was! And for this occasion I'm having my S1 Xander icon.

Best thing about these comics is that they'll help fanfic!wise, explaining the boring stuff we don't wanna think about is one of the biggest advantages. Plus, it's nice to see fandom alive again, even though I'm a little scared...

So it would seem. Although I think I probably took the wind out of her sails a bit by not actually caring... *g*

They were all so *young*!!!! Poor things.

Except for all the Initiative-style stuff of course. I'll pretend that doesn't exist! ;)

Which is why I don't often venture outside my flist...

I didn't read the comics entry as I won't get to see it until later this week and I didn't want to be spoiled. But I have to say I'm also looking forward to the new details as well. There are so many great fanfics that have been written from even early in the series that got Jossed but it doesn't mean that they aren't still fun to read. After all, one line in Damaged spawned so much fic about Xander that was incredibly interesting. It doesn't matter to me if that gets retconned. I still enjoyed a lot of great fic as a result.

I think the great thing about the comics is that you can choose to accept it as canon or shrug it off. It's written by Joss, so it certainly can be thought of as canon. On the other hand, if he retcons too much, we can always claim it's an AU and go on from there. :D

And Buffy was an adorable little munchkin back then. I always forget how cute she was before seven years and too strict a diet made SMG look rather haggard. ;P

I really don't understand the mentality of someone like that. She knew perfectly well you were a Spike fan yet she had to come and rub it in.

I guess some people just enjoy being trolls.

Well if she loves a story about Dawn being a giant, then good on her!

Heh. (points to icon)

*nods* I think I once described the comics as 'back-up canon' - I think that's still my position. :)

Exactly. Although I don't think it'll ever feel as more than glorified fanfic to me.

So round and cute! That said, I love her more when she's older...

I love that icon. It got Spikeylover banned from some board, I believe.

As for the Giant Dawn thing, its silly but the reason why it appears to have happened to her is actually a bit objectionable - the same old, same old, people have sex and something awful happens thing.

So I've heard too! Some people have no sense of humour...

the same old, same old, people have sex and something awful happens thing.
And yet Buffy misses it above everything else... *grins*

(Why can't I spell? Woe!)
