Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm sure you all know this by now, but Joss posted on Whendonesque!

See, the Buffyverse glows in my brain with a new, overreaching arc that will include the comics, Spike, and more. It's taking shape and soon you will know its name. And you will tremble.

Squeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

ETA: Yes I am also terrified of course, but right now the excitement is winning!

Super sekkrit message to lillianmorgan and kittyzams: Can you think of a name? Will e-mail at some point, but Darcy has taken over the iMac for the moment, so if you want to communicate use my LJ address.

I guess that Spangel fans won't really be catered for...

Oh, I don't mind about that. I can work around it, as long as they don't say Angel's dead, which they won't because of the Angel comic book series, or (what I dread most) that Angel and Buffy are off somewhere together.

That last is worst case scenario for me for lots of reasons, some of them quite petty and spiteful and based on horrible past behaviour by some B/A fans which makes me not want them to get what they want either.

It's a thing.

I think it's a very common thing! *g* And it's the only thing that'd really annoy me!

I just hope that Joss won't be tempted to use it as a way of explaining the absence of Buffy and Angel, that's all. I'd like to think that it's just too easy and that looking back and (hopefully) realising that he upset a lot of people with the way he treated Spuffy in season 7 (the fence-sitting, I mean)he'll think twice before offending that 'shipper group.

I'd rather things stayed as they were with the whole S/B/A thing.

::nods:: Actually I'd be happy if Buffy was with just about anyone other than Angel. Or Xander. Spike would be wonderful, but I could only see it working long term if he became human.

[shapinglight]

Me too. They'd be an interesting couple, I think, in that they'd spend all their time arguing, the way people do.

Angel and Buffy, however, would probably spend all their time not telling each other stuff, and there'd be all these long, awkward silences.

I have nothing to add - you have summed it up perfectly! :)
