lillianmorgan! I know you are sans internet, but if you see this, know that you are missed thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much. At least. Hope you're having a great day. *smooches*

Re. the icon (isn't it *brilliant*?), then I am currently absorbing as much Twilight mockage as I can find the time for - at some point I'll make a post with lots of links, but until then you'll get my new theory re. s8, which goes like this:
One day, after Twilight first was published, Joss picked up a copy because hey - vampires! Of course he was shocked and appalled at what SMeyers had done, and thought to himself that it was a shame that BtVS had finished because otherwise he could have had Buffy fight this new threat. And so the comics were born, with the enigmatic 'Twilight' as the Big Bad. However, since this is Joss, he upped the game and decided that the whole thing should play out on a meta level (because Buffy dusting sparkly vampires would be lame), and this is why s8 is such an odd mishmash. The retcons, OOCness, forced conflict etc is a sign of Twilight gaining power. But Buffy fights back - with things such as characterdeath & angst and of course Buffy/Satsu (Buffy don't need no man to complete her, no sir!). ETA: And PLOT! Plot is a great weapon against Twilight!
(This is what happens when I'm without internet for any length of time...)
Oh - I posted Chapter 5 of My Immortal on Monday, in case someone missed it?
Happy Happy Birthday

Heh. Someone on fandom_wank mentioned how 'Twilight' always reminded her of s8, on off my mind went...
And the icon made me laugh out loud.
Which was my reaction too the first time I saw it - about 2 minutes later I had uploaded it! *g*

How did I not notice this?
Love your theory! It really does make a weird kind of sense...

Because it was buried in a thread somewhere? It is so ADDICTIVE

It does, doesn't it? I like meta! *g*

I rarely laugh out loud in front of my computer but this one is just priceless. :D

(Although it has brought us Xander/Dracula, which is a GOOD THING! Makes no sense whatsoever from a canon POV of course, but... *shrugs*)

Twighlight is apparently set in a very small town named "Forks"-- it's here in Washington, in the serious boondocks. Prior to Twighlight Forks was best know as a site of recruiting for one of the neo-natzi groups. It's a very small town, very sad as the timber industry and commercial fishing have pretty much disappeared.
We have several travelers at work; all about 22-25. They've been avidly reading the Twighlight books-- they were thrilled to learn that Forks is a real town. They're planning a road trip, despite the whole serious boondocks aspect.
I'm just slightly bemused at the thought of Forks as a tourist site! I mean, glad they're going to contribute to the economy, but bemusement here!
Off to read the new chapter!

Oh ye of little faith. It is Joss' attempt at protecting our teen generation!
They're planning a road trip, despite the whole serious boondocks aspect.
*blinks* I thought one of the main plotpoints (at least one of the things that Bella keeps whining about) is that Forks is DULL and SMALL and BORING. Fans are *weird*!

Bella'd pretty much have to whine about it being Dull and Small and Boring. However finding out for sure would mean actually reading the books, and I just can't bring myself to do it...
:D

Bwah!

I shall link you to summaries that'll spare you the pain, and make you giggle at the same time. (And be horrified of course. If the books had a message it'd be 'girls! you are nothing without your man!'
