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::

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 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. ;-)

All hail RTD! :) (Who *is* a guy, but with somewhat different tastes...)

[cindergal.livejournal.com]

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

[elisi]

Does that make RTD a fangirl? *g*
