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
winter_of_angel fic... ::deep sigh::

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...
no subject

Yes - significant others don't have a long shelflife...
Of course my biggest question now is 'Will he do the same for Spike & Angel?'
no subject
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.
no subject
To continue my little ficlet from above:
Buffy: I didn't know you were bisexual!
Spike: Look who's talking!
[Buffy blushes and shoots Satsu a glance]
Angel: What?
Spike: What do you mean 'what'? Surely you can smell them all over each other too?
Angel[somewhat flummoxed and trying to hide it]: Of course, I just...
Spike: C'mon girls, don't be shy!
Buffy: Um...
Spike: Oh for crying out loud!
[he grabs hold of Angel and kisses him thoroughly]
Spike: There! Can we get on with things now?
[Angel is breathless and completely thrown]
Buffy [trying not to faint]: Oh god... please do it again?
Spike: After you...
[Buffy kisses Satsu and Spike and Angel's eyes glaze over]
etc.
Though I doubt Brian would do Spike and Connor. As sees them as a uncle/nephew relationship.
Well so far they're the closest to being canon... *g*
no subject
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 STICKYPEOPLE 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.no subject
Well since I consider s8!Buffy as 2-D as Satsu, it doesn't bother me. But yes, there could be problems there...
Oh well. Still not weirder than Buffy The Bankrobber.
Oh no, not at all. And this one *does* stir the plotbunnies...

I *know*! Although I can see *why* people slash them, it never seemed at all likely or in character for either of them. In the AtF setup however? Oh it pretty much writes itself... :)
ETA: And yes, there might be 'pissing off Angel' involved too! *g*
no subject
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...
no subject
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...
no subject
I swear that writing comic!fic from now on will be an exercise in *not* letting them all have group sex...
(Torchwood is the future! All hail omni-sexuality!)
no subject
"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?"
no subject
Oh Buffy... (Although she was still straight then!)
no subject
Lots and lots of ships! :)
no subject
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. ;)
no subject
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.
no subject
Oh it's perfectly logical, esp since she's stuck in that stupid castle with only Xander around.
But while he's at it couldn't Joss finally give in and through some Spangel into AtF?
Amen. Let's lobby Brian! :)
no subject
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.

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...
no subject
You know, in one way I'm very happy about that, because I *like* the fact that AtF is a logical and credible continuation of the 'verse, as opposed to the crack-tasticness that s8 keeps producing.

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).
no subject
I adore Andrew, but I agree that he doesn't count. Also agree that if he really ought to do something about the m/m stuff, and Spike/Angel are by far the most likely couple to get together.
no subject
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!
no subject
I think we can probably put a lot of that down to Angel being human and knowing that Spike could beat him up with one hand tied behind his back.

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.
no subject
True. Maybe we'll get a flashback?

I can't possibly imagine that it won't be reversed. The *point* of Angel is that he'll always fight.

Oh yes. I haven't handed in my Spuffy card, oh no. I just don't like comic!Buffy.

Not Angel? But they're soulmates! (Sorry, couldn't help myself.) But they *are* canon!

As to comic - no haven't read them at all - Maybe one day ... have to see when I get a spare minute or two!

Watch AtS and you'll get the quote! :)

As for s8 - don't bother. After the Fall on the other hand is great, although you'll have to wait until you've seen the show (won't make all that much sense otherwise).

The fall out with all the innocent out-of-tha-net-fans will be fun to watch though.
*nods* We ought to get some popcorn.
no subject
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!
no subject
Well the comics were never going to resolve *anything* on that front, and I gave up hoping for even a nod to Spuffy ages ago. Anyway, they're not canon, but they *are* entertaining when viewed as crack!
I *knew* he was going to go there, though. And yes, I agree with your Torchwood comparison.
Torchwood ftw! (Someone else has made that comparison on Whedonesque now. I wonder what Joss'll say! *g*)
But Spider> Ick! Hopefully after she brings the demon brew she gets banished from the orgy. She's truly creepy.
Yes, but that's the fun! Satsu is just sweet and a bit boring (unless she's going to betray Buffy of course).
I'm drawing a *LINE* here!
Oh yes. So was Angel - he was seriously freaked out, and covering. :)
no subject
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.

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.
no subject
True. Although that's also what makes it fun - as I said, it's like Torchwood where anyone is likely to sleep with anyone at any time.
kind of leads me to think Canon!Buffy makes an arrow look curved.
*nods* I can see Faith/Buffy as much as I can see Spike/Xander - that is, there are lots of winks to the audience, but I don't think the characters would ever go there. (Faith maybe, Buffy definitely not.)
For the comics, though, eh, I buy it. At least it's not directly contradicting the show like some other things.
There is that. Currently I'm rolling the phrase 'Buffy the bi-sexual bankrobber' around in my head. Nice alliteration. :)
no subject
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.
no subject
Indeed it does. Which again brings us to the fact that s8 is like a crime novel...

Thank goodness canon!Buffy is in Rome with The Immortal, having lots of great, guilt-free sex! :)

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*

I am *thisclose* to writing that bit, but sadly I really don't have time... maybe later.

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.

My date is the 13th. And it's Angelus fic actually. (Which makes me nervous, I've never written him before.)

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.

*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.

Heh. It just continues to underwhelm, which is *such* a shame. Just look at ATF!

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
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.

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.
no subject
"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?"
no subject
I hope you don't think me strange, but his answers make me very, very happy. The thing is, s8 has turned into OOC crack!fic. This sometimes makes me cross (the bank robbing) and sometimes amused (Buffy/Satsu), and completely unable to take any of it seriously.
AtF however I *am* taking seriously, and if that means sticking with the subtext then that's fine with me. Much as I'd like Spike & Angel to hook up, I much prefer Brian to tell the story he's telling without distracting shippiness, no matter how hot it would be.
So I shall continue to rely on Torchwood to supply me with canon slash. :)
