Fun Buffy stuff! :)

[elisi]

1) stormwreath's A Guide to 'Buffy' Ships. Truly brilliant, and an easy shorthand if you ever want to introduce anyone to the 'verse. (Make sure to check out the comments too - f.ex. you should definitely expand beer_good_foamy's thread!)

2) workerbee73 wrote a wonderful post about beta-ing. A great read for anyone - writers, betas and anyone else (if you've ever wondered what all the fuss is about, and what exactly goes into the process, then this lays it out beautifully).

3) My girls (I'm not quite sure how) got hold of The Simpsons 150th comics issue (Treehouse of Horror). In one of the stories, Comic Book Guy has bought a batch of *cursed* movie & TV props. Lisa picks up a stake and hey presto, she's Lisa the Vampire Slayer! I scanned the 2 pages of her story, because they amused me greatly - they even deal with the Spike vs. Angel issue. :)

That is just awesome. And demands iconning. I particularly love

Joss! Why have you forsaken us?

[elisi]

OOooh, icons would be brilliant! (Even though I don't have any spaces left, but...)

And yes, that line made me chuckle too. The Simpsons has still got it. :)

That's so cute! Thanks for sharing. :)
I caught stormwreath's post on ships the other day and laughed out loud.

[elisi]

That's so cute! Thanks for sharing. :)
My pleasure - I couldn't not! :)

And stormwreath is a fannish genius!

[swsa.livejournal.com]

That's so awesome. As both Lisa and Buffy make my list of top 5 tv characters ever, it's even more perfect. And I second the desire for icons. I need that first panel in icon form so badly.

[elisi]

Your feelings appear to echo mine pretty much exactly! :)

And I suspect that gillo is busy working on creating icons already! *loves fandom* Also your icon makes me happy.

Oh god. Buffy meets The Simpsons. "Joss! Why have you forsaken us?" Utterly brilliant. Thank you so much for posting that. If nobody else does, I'm definitely going to do a few icons of this...

I *know*! I was just flicking through the magazine, reading random pages and suddenly went 'OMG! This is perfection!' :D I felt I had a fannish obligation to share it!

If nobody else does, I'm definitely going to do a few icons of this...
The more icons the merrier! And for once you won't have to think up captions...

It's nice to know that a cool British accent is the deciding factor in determining who's sexiest. :-)

And thanks for the rec. :-)

[gillo]

Those of us with a British accent knew that all along...

[lycomingst.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the scan. Yes, I can see the need for icons. The "dressed so well" made me lol.

[elisi]

Totally my pleasure. And gillo has icons here. :)

[stormwreath.livejournal.com]

By the way, who's the blonde woman in the library scene shouting "Here they come!" supposed to be?

The only blonde in S1-3 I can think of would be Buffy herself, but surely Lisa is Buffy here.

[gillo]

Anya?

[cordykitten]

Heh - thanks for the pimp (1+2) and sharing the scan with us.
(Never saw it before.)

[elisi]

Oh, I like to put on my pimpin' hat! :) Glad you enjoyed.

[revdorothyl.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for posting this!

I was already going to thank you for the link to the guide to Buffy 'ships (Spike/Buffy as a nuclear attack sub? Yes!), but this Simpsons comic puts you at the top of my 'people for whom I'm grateful today' list!

Awwwww, thank you! *blushes* I'm happy to have spread cheer! :)

[spikesdeb.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahaha! Just wonderful! thanks so very much for sharing.

[elisi]

My pleasure Ma'am. :)

[cindergal.livejournal.com]

Clearly, cool British accent trumps everything. :-)

Thanks for sharing - that was awesome!

This has long been obvious to Spuffies everywhere! *g* (I love it!)

Glad you enjoyed. :)

[missus-grace.livejournal.com]

That's hysterical! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[elisi]

How could I not? LJ was made for sharing. :)

[kathyh]

Bwahahaha...that's hilarious. "Joss! Why have you forsaken us?" indeed and cool British accents always win *g*.

I don't dare look at the piece about betaing. What if I've been doing it wrong :)

[elisi]

It was too perfect not to share! :)

Oh but you *must* read it! Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on... (you're brilliant, and I said so!)

[laimelady.livejournal.com]

Wow Simpsonized Buffy, Scoobies, Angel & Spike!
AND it works! hee

[elisi]

AND it works! hee
Brilliant, isn't it? :D

*Best Simpsons episode Ever!* Comic Book Guy voice. Thanks so much for that--now I'll have to go search it out.

[elisi]

*Best Simpsons episode Ever!* Comic Book Guy voice.
Heee! And yes, it certainly is. :)

And it was the October 2008 issue, I now realise. Hope you find it!

[obiwahn.livejournal.com]

How fun! I added to mems. Thanks for sharing!

[elisi]

My pleasure through and through. :)

[gabrielleabelle.livejournal.com]

rofl! This is quite brilliant.

And souled!vampire + British accent = clear win.

Thanks for posting!

*nods* When put like that there really is no contest. *g* Glad you enjoyed!

[yourlibrarian]

Hee! The Archie line cracked me up (except apparently Archie has now settled on Veronica). And of course I approve of the final panel ;>

[elisi]

And of course I approve of the final panel ;>
*laughs* Yes, indeed!

Cartoon Giles is cleaning his glasses! Bwahahahaha!

Oh, man, I needed this today. Thanks for posting it!

[elisi]

Cartoon Giles is cleaning his glasses! Bwahahahaha!
I KNOW! There's no end to the perfection. :)

And I'm very happy that this helped bring cheer.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Oh my! *quivers with excitement*

This is wonderful!

Joss! Why have you forsaken us?

Teehee. And I concur with all other commenters before me - the British accent clearly puts him in the winner's circle.

[elisi]

Oh my! *quivers with excitement*
Oh I know how you feel. I was all 'OMG it's Buffy in the Simpsons!!!'

Teehee. And I concur with all other commenters before me - the British accent clearly puts him in the winner's circle.
Absolutely. :)

*headdesk*

Meant to use this icon...

[urania-calliope.livejournal.com]

I love how Giles digs her bad joke there at the end. Heh heh.

[elisi]

Yes, it's great. Buffy has many good qualities, but library cards don't feature high on her list of must-haves. :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

These Simpson vampires !comics are amazing.

[elisi]

Aren't they just? Some things just *work*!

[molly_may]

Awww, this combines two of my favorite things in the world! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[elisi]

Heeeee! Spiderpig! *cheers*

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

OMG-- that's like the greatest thing ever! ::loves you::

[elisi]

::loves you too::

I just *had* to share... :)
