Snerk.

Have you seen this? Joss talks about issue 12 and a new development.... (Major spoilers if you follow the link!) My first reaction? Season 8 is turning into Torchwood! :) Oh, the joys of not caring are many and plentyful. I'm serious though about the Torchwood thing:

OWEN: Oi, you lot ... (He motions to the monitor.) Treat!
(Jack and Toshiko head over. Gwen is still kissing Carys.)
OWEN: Whoa.
JACK: Wow.
TOSHIKO: She said she had a boyfriend.
JACK: You people and your quaint little categories.


(I happen to have a tiny little cracktastic s8/AtF crossover plotbunny. This latest development is perfect! ::is delighted:: Might have to actually write the thing now, once other stuff is out of the way.)

ETA: Seriously, it just writes itself... (Did I mention how much I love TW? *g*)

Spike: Let’s all have sex.
Angel: And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse.
Buffy: I'm in!
[takes off her kevlar outfit to reveal tiny skimpy nightie]
Angel: ...
Spike: Brilliant! Spider - fetch the best demon brew and tell the girls we're having an orgy!
Connor: Yay!
Angel [aghast]: Go home!
Connor: No fair. [stomps out]
Spike: Bloody hell, why do you have to be so uptight? Let the boy have some fun.
Angel [grumpily]: He's slept with enough of my ex-girlfriends already.
Spike: I'm not a girl!
Angel: Jkdjfslkfjgkhfkjd!

[At this point I'm thinking that I'd like to have Captain Jack show up, since he is - of course - The Immortal in this verse. Should he bring Ianto (w. stopwatch, hockeystick and assorted other props)? What do you think? *happy sigh* I could keep writing this forever, trust me!)


Also, since I forgot this yesterday, being totally indifferent to s8 Buffy is v. handy when it comes to Spike in AtF, because I really, really don't want him to end up with Buffy. So I am free to ship him with everyone and anyone - Spider, Illyria, Connor... it's all good. (Of course he'll end up with Angel sooner or later, but until then I am happy just to follow the flow.)


I was going to say something about the AR, but I can't be bothered. And I ought to work on my [livejournal.com profile] winter_of_angel fic... ::deep sigh::

Hmm. My first reaction on seeing that was "Oh my God, he actually went there!"

My second was "Now I don't need to write that fic I was thinking of, because Joss has done the same thing in canon."

My third was to laugh at all the snarky comments he was throwing in about killing Satsu off now, because he clearly knows his own reputation...

[identity profile] kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Already asked Brian Lynch no kissing between Spike and Angel. Unless it takes place in a one shot issue of the shark demon. Oh huh.
Can you imagine what Spike and Angel would think of this ?
I know Spike would want in, Angel would still be sitting their with his mouth open.
You know I think Xander just had his dream come true. Giles is going to rub his glasses to death. Dawn is just going to raise her eyebrow. Well we will finally get Willow saying she never wanted to have sex with Buffy.
Know the fanboys of Buffy have a good wish. I say it should be equal. They get two hot girls together. We should get Angel and Spike togther at least once. Or Spike and Connor. Or Wes and Angel. Though I doubt Brian would do Spike and Connor. As sees them as a uncle/nephew relationship.

Well, isn't THAT interesting. That ought to stir up some waves; I was wondering when they would start pairing up the TV canon characters with the 2-dimensional ones...

All that talk about Buffy "experimenting" notwithstanding, I'm going to give Joss yet another benefit of a doubt here (call me naive) and assume this isn't an Ally McBeal-style Lesbian Kiss Episode. At least until I've read the whole thing. After all, most of the pre-release "OMG GUYZ U HAVE TO BUY 10 COPIES OF THIS BECAUSE YOUR PAGES WILL GET STICKY PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT IT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME" has been coming from non-Dark Horse sources. Oh well. Still not weirder than Buffy The Bankrobber.

Well, no! Not really a slasher here anyway. I mean, I can see Angle/Spike (though I much prefer them as annoyed brothers) but Spike/Connor! I can see that mostly to piss off Angel!

Um... they've already paired up Xander with Renee.

Now I'm waiting for the first person to complain that Joss is "pandering to fanboys"... should be along in 3...2...1...

Um... they've already paired up Xander with Renee.

I'd say their mild flirting doesn't quite qualify as a full-on "pairing" prior to this issue. Of course, we don't yet know exactly what they do directly after the battlement conversation at the start of this - maybe they got down to it first, and Buffy and Satsu walked in on them and got inspired, and then Andrew comes in and fixes the cable, and...

The show's way ahead of you...

"I'm suffering the after-ness of a bad night of badness."
"You didn't! Not with Parker again."
"No, with five really smart guys."
"Five! Ow. Oh. Oh, Buffy. Are you okay? Want to tell me about it?"
"I went to see Xander, but then I saw Parker and… then came beer."
"And then group sex?"

...0! Here I am, and yes, with more and more beautiful almost-naked girls appearing in Buffy-8 in steamy positions, I'm afraid it looks more and more like that, whether it is intentional or not on Joss' part.
Joss might be still telling himself it's all about girl power, but we ladies who love us some slash know better and can relate. ;)

That was my first thought too. But since I love to see a bit more bisexuality in comics an tv, so I kind of like it. I don't even think it too OOC for Buffy (at least far less than the bank robbing). She has a thing for beings as powerful as her and to wait their lives away is not really an option for slayers.

But while he's at it couldn't Joss finally give in and through some Spangel into AtF? After all he was building towards that for the whole of S5.

Oh it's perfectly logical, esp since she's stuck in that stupid castle with only Xander around.
It does have this air of an all girl boarding school :D

and through some Spangel into AtF?
Why is writing so hard on my poor little brain? I wanted to write "throw" of course.

Let's lobby Brian! :)
I'm afraid Brian has been lobbied up to all he can do. We get crumbs in every issue, and I don't believe Joss intended for Angel-6 to go further.
Now, if we got Marti Noxon to do an issue or two for Angel:ATF...

Like others have said, I'm fine with it (though canon character/toon of any description doesn't do a lot for me) but I'd like to see Joss give the m/m slashers something too - and no, I don't mean anything to do with Andrew.

He doesn't count 'cos I can't stand him.

Angel and Spike in bed together would do me just fine, and it's not like it hasn't happened before (Soul Purpose).

[personal profile] shapinglight 2008-03-05 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
and Spike/Angel are by far the most likely couple to get together.


I agree, though first Angel has to stop being such a big idiot and acting like he doesn't like Spike at all.

Silly Angel!

[personal profile] shapinglight 2008-03-06 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly.

As for what you said to mrs underhill - I always knew we wouldn't get Spangel, although it's nice to dream that Joss would be that brave. Also, the minute Brian made Angel human, the Spangel 'ship was down the toilet anyway.

I like that comic, but if that development isn't reversed, I shall wish it had never existed, I fear.

But they're soulmates! Well we know Spike had a soul - and maybe they mated on that last night!

so much Snerk.

[identity profile] fangfaceandrea.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
specially if they want to shock you when you stopped caring, which is kinda cute, considering we're in fandom and pretty much nothing shocks us anymore. The fall out with all the innocent out-of-tha-net-fans will be fun to watch though.

[identity profile] ladypeyton.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
My very first reaction, as you saw, was resentment that I feel Spuffy was never resolved.

I *knew* he was going to go there, though. And yes, I agree with your Torchwood comparison.

But Spider> Ick! Hopefully after she brings the demon brew she gets banished from the orgy. She's truly creepy.

And boo! Connor should have been able to stay as long as he stayed *far* away from Angel because it just *CAN'T* ever go there. I'm drawing a *LINE* here!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/peasant_/ 2008-03-05 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone else has made that comparison on Whedonesque now. I wonder what Joss'll say! *g*

Where? Where?

If Joss starts watching Torchwood will he sue them for plagiarism? Or will he want to come write for them, which will make the crossover fic just explode.

[identity profile] ladypeyton.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I would just *die* of happiness if Joss wrote for Torchwood.

Especially if it was a Capt. John episode.

[identity profile] mikeygs.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
and teeny crack!fic!

It's kind of hard making fun of S8, you know? Like making a parody of a parody.

I'm part of the minority that never saw much with Buffy and Faith at least on her part. For all the "winkwink" subtext, Buffy's befuddlement when Willow told her about Tara, like the idea never really dawned on her at all, kind of leads me to think Canon!Buffy makes an arrow look curved. For the comics, though, eh, I buy it. At least it's not directly contradicting the show like some other things.


[identity profile] powerofthebook.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, this sets Satsu right up to be the "the closest, the most unexpected betrayal." All we really know about her is that she loves Buffy - can anyone read the dialogue in that little webcomic window?

The fact that she's experimenting with bisexuality, I kind of figured would happen - no boys or men in that castle besides Xander. What disturbs me is that she might be using somebody again. Would have thought she'd learned her lesson with Spike.

[identity profile] adoxerella.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Your crackfic makes me giggle, and I would probably wake my neighbors with the laughter and clapping if Jack shows up (with Ianto of course). And you would have to get to the fact the rest of the Scoobies (and of course Faith) would be uber pissed at missing out.
Faith: I cannot believe you guys had an orgy and didn't invite me.

Also, since I forgot this yesterday, being totally indifferent to s8 Buffy is v. handy when it comes to Spike in AtF, because I really, really don't want him to end up with Buffy.
In my head when I read this my first thought was *GASP!!!* Actually written out mind you, which means I probably spend too much time online.

*camps out in front of monitor (which I spelled as minotaur first indicating I may need to drink more coffee) to wait for Elisi Angel fic*

[identity profile] adoxerella.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. I know the feeling. And as for Spuffy, then *my* Spuffy involves a Spike & a straight Slayer, not Spike and a bisexual bankrobber. 'Nuff said.
See it's stuff like this that makes me glad I gave up in disgust after the last Faith issue. I actually have #10, but I haven't been able to make myself read it yet.

My date is the 13th. And it's Angelus fic actually. (Which makes me nervous, I've never written him before.)
*perks* Angelus, even better, although I will agree the boy is really intimidating to write. I have full confidence in your ability to do this as you already give good Angel.

Also, please note I posted links to the St. Trinian's fic you were discussing. I have no idea what it is, but I am nosy and wouldn't be a good crossover ho' if I didn't pimp TTH.

[identity profile] cindergal.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha! Okay, at first I thought, now Buffy is a lesbian bank robber? But then I read the interview and saw that Buffy is just "experimenting." By having a romp with someone she knows loves her. Oh, that's better. Lots of character growth there. ::rolls eyes::

I'm so glad I don't read these comics. I can just mock from afar. And enjoy the crack fic. ;-)

[identity profile] mikeygs.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)

Ah, but one must remember that in the Comicverse, none of the character/emotional growth and lessons of the last few years of the show ever happened. :P

mmm now I'm wodering if they ended up in bed cause Buffy shut her up with a kiss...

[identity profile] fenchurche.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
What disturbs me is that she might be using somebody again.

That's exactly the problem I have with it. Not just using someone again... but using someone who loves her. Again.

Honestly, I wouldn't be bugged as much if they were going to actually put the two of them in a real relationship, or if Buffy fell into bed with some other girl (although I have to agree with [livejournal.com profile] mikeygs assessment that canon!Buffy "makes an arrow look curved"). But to sleep with someone who loves her without reciprocating those feelings? Apparently, she's learned nothing. I'm hoping there's more to the whole situation than we're all speculating.

The thing is, of all of the core Scoobies, the one (other than Willow) that I would have pegged as being other-than-hetero would have been Xander. But Joss really doesn't seem interested in male/male pairings.

Of course not, he's a guy. ;-)

Hee, yes, I should have been more specific. Joss is a straight guy. ;-)

Great drabble!
Yes, let them all have an orgie, and let's not discriminate against inclusion of men. :)

Hey if Buffy wants to be bisexual that is fine with me. As long as Joss is equal and we get a male relationship as well.
I went ahead onto Brian Lynch's myspace page.
And wrote this.

"Hi, Mr. Lynch this has nothing to do with your post. I am sure you are already aware of what Joss Whedon is doing with Buffy and Satsu. Personally I do not care. I just think that if one does do that, it should be done with males as well as females. So I think it would be more than fair to get two male characters in the same relationship. Be it a one night stand, or angst sex as well. I am sure you will hear from others as this comes out. I do enjoy your work very much.

Hopefully Joss will allow for a male relationship, either Spike with Angel, Wesley with Angel, or Gunn with Angel. Or vice versa. If one gets experimenting slayers, vampires should follow as well. If one was a vampire with all the time in the world, one would experiment alot.
I would stand to see any male sexual relationship as long as it wasn't with Andrew. Xander would go along nicely with any other male. Giles and Ethan would also be acceptable. I hope I do not seem to forward.
And if you have not seen the New York Times story with Joss, here it is
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/05/books/05buffy.html?_r=1&ref=arts&oref=slogin

Their is already quite a long discussion on whendonesque about this subject already.

Thank you."

Hopefully he will not think me too insane.

[identity profile] kitmarlowescot2.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Brian responded
"I think there absolutely should be a gay male character. Lots of them, absolutely. Maybe there already is?

Do you suddenly want AFTER THE FALL to go in that direction? I think it would make for an awkward shift.

As for your specific hook-up requests:

1. Spike with Angel. Hell, Spider seems to think it's going on already.

2. Wesley with Angel. One is noncorporal. That would make things difficult.

3. Gunn and Angel. That would be weirdest plot development in the history of comic books. Not really headed in that direction, is it?"
