spuffyduds's son wrote Halloween fic. Short and wonderful.

missmurchison re-wrote AYW to include the *actual* Doctor: Who's the Doctor? Need I say more? (BtVS/DW crossover. No spoilers.)

stormwreath made Buffy macros (and a couple of icons). The last one in particular nearly did me in! :)

beer_good_foamy made Fuffy icons (and one Spangel one). Well worth checking out! Oh yes. *g*

(I have written a bit about S8 Buffy, and a bit about Faith. But I don't want to post it, because people will just argue with me. And I don't have time for aguing. Meh. Buffy lives in Rome, that is canon. End of story!)

Hey, let's not quote him out of context! :-)

BUFFY: Why would I go to Belgium?
XANDER: I think the relevant question is why wouldn't you?

See? Xander would vote for Belgium. And Giles would appreciate that it's actually closer to London than the highlands are. Of course Dawn would reply with that Monty Python joke about "miserable fat Belgian bastards", but nobody ever listens to Dawn anyway.

Buffy in Belgium. It alliterates! :)

(Now there has to be fic...)

Three words: Buffy/Tintin crossover.

Hmmm... Thompson and Thomson as watchers...

OMG it's all so obvious now!

True but in the wider context Xander thought Belgium was the obvious place to go when you’d just had to kill the boyfriend who turned evil and tried to destroy the world. Sure Spike died (chiz) but it was what he would have wanted, a death to make a girl smile. Happy heroes get the hell out of the Belgium - wasn’t the whole point of TinTin anywhere but there? Whereas Buffy in Balmoral, Buffy in Banoffie? Doesn’t just alliterate it scans.

But how is going to Scotland any different from that POV. It doesn't strike me as the place to go if you're embracing life. (Don't get me wrong, Scotland is *wonderful* - but Buffy is a Valley Girl... (Dammit, now I'm getting into the stuff of my post. Maybe I should just post it and be done with it. *ponders*)

Scotland is a sheep ridden desert of a country remarkable only for being "colonised by wankers" but it's empty enough to throw up mystical castles like Sunnydale grew a docks, an airport, an Ivy league style university and the Hoover dam without the locals asking awkward questions about planning permission.

"Buffy's a Valley girl" sounds a little limiting (it's pracically American for Essex girl). I thought the whole point of Chosen was that she could choose anything. Be anything. Look beyond shopping and boys. Follow a career. Save the cheerleaders, save the world.

And sitting around in a Scottish Castle, isolated from *everything* (including the world she's trying to save), is the least attractive and most limiting future I have ever come across.
