HA! That was my first Buffistas post! Cherry popper.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Why do people trust me with this shit?
Because you can be trusted. That's no small thing.

I'm just biding my time.
AND THEN YOU WILL ALL BE SO SORRY
This essay is not writing itself. I thought that was a shortcut in Word. Apparently not.

The evil is this way?
I'm sad that I missed out on so many valuable years of Buffy discussion when I could have been there.
Me too. I watched the show from the very first episode, but I didn't find the Bronze until Season 3. I missed not being in the community for Season 1 & 2. Imagine being on-line after "Innocence" or "Passion" (Poor dead Jenny). Ty King, who wrote "Passion" was a regular poster. I remember once someone linking to a site that had old posts from that time period. There was Leather Jacket (a old-time Bronzer) on the top of the Bronze with a AK-AK Really Big Gun looking for Ty because he killed Jenny. And Ty posting about the need to kill off characters or something. And then telling Leather Jacket that, in the alternative, killing off Jenny was Marti Noxon's idea. Back when the writers (and even Chris Beck, who wrote the music) would come on after some horrific plot twist and mock/tweak the fans' pain.
The Oldsters would tease us newer Bronzers about the quirks of the first boards. All about how they had to walk 5 miles in the snow (uphill, both ways) to post.
I missed the great the WITTs: Waiting for (Ty) Godot, RTBS' Revivication (after seeing Allyson Hannigan in leather in "The Wish", he posted that he had had a heart attack). But at least I was around for the Canadian H*ttie Invasion, and getting RTBS' soul back after Britney Spears took it (long, long, story).

Because, my dear, you are among the most trustworthy people I know.

And it was funny. Not so much the ickiness of my arrival.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Hee! I started watching during the first round of reruns before S2, and I had a friend who had to have been hooked into something, because before 'Innocence', she told me that she knew what was going to happen, and I (possessing little to no willpower even then) made her tell me. When I asked how she'd known, she said that she'd found out on the Internet. It boggled me then. My very first spoiler. By the end, I was reading scripts with abandon, then beating myself up for it. Wonderfalls is the only thing I've remained pure for, and it's been a bloody fight.
Wipes tear.

Allyson was funny from the first, then.

Hee. I am glad for Tim that the Buffistas (and its predecessors) were around. If he had written for Buffy in the first few seasons I think he would have been a Bronzer. Of course, if Tim had been writing in the earlier years, there would have been a much higher body count.

I've had this same hope. Unfortunately, the "help" function seems to only be helpful once the essay has actually been written.
