I think that Anya would rather go to your Hell than your Heaven, Perkins, and it's not very nice of you to limit her thusly.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?
Willow ,'Empty Places'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Stop using logic outside the lines, missy!
Pffft. You're just trying to oppress my creativity. Oppressress! Fanwank or die!

All is well that ends in pizza.
If I go on a fanfic diet, do I have to go to Wank Watchers?

What is even happening?
I think it goes beyond that, Wolfram, since she willingly chose to become a demon. Twice even.
Does her later choice to become human again negate that?
If your Christian stipulation about Heaven and Hell extends to the admission policies, then yes, her later choice to become human again negates that.

Ah, but if Heaven is where you're happy and basking in the love the Creator has for you (which is my impression of the common definition), then why wouldn't the loving Creator put you in the place that would make you the happiest? Anya would be happiest in Valhalla.
I've heard a theory on heaven and hell that it's the same place. And depending where on the good/evil scale you fall, you either love it, find it boring, or hate every everlasting minute of it.

Good point. It could be argued tha the first time she made the choice she didn't really know what it would mean. And the second time, there was no lasting fallout, was there?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Not really my heaven/hell, and calling me not very nice is not nice of you, now is it?
I kind of want to change my tag to Opressress.

Pfft. It's like saying will she go to the petting zoo or Easter toy shopping -- just because you're not running either establishment (or even patronise them) doesn't mean you're not culpable and not-nice for the false choices.

Considering both of these usually involve bunnies, I think they'd both count as Hell for Anya.

Uncoincidentally, that's my point.

You should, Perkins. I was gonna change mine and I think we ought to still have an Opressress.
Anya was human then demon then human then demon then human (is that right?) butI don't think she was ever Christian. So by Christian heaven rules she wouldn't get in. Right?
Now, heaven as in where Buffy was when she was dead the second time, maybe Anya would get in. I'm trying to think of examples of people who we know were in hell who didn't have it as part of a contract or the direct consequence of a particular action, but it's hard.
