Get Backers is the only one of those I'm not familiar with.
I'm a little ambivalent on it still. I've just read a few volumes of manga, and I'll probably watch some episodes before I decide whether I like Ban and Ginji enough to keep it.
I'm currently writing some stuff for Fruits Basket and X/1999.
Sweet! This means I need to get more Fruits Basket. Darn.
Before you get much further in X/1999, you might want to check out Tokyo Babylon, since that sets up a lot of stuff for one of the big X/1999 arcs.
Thanks. I didn't know which one came first. I'm just sort of bumbling around out here without a map sometimes.
You'd also like Trigun, I think.
And no doubt I'll be adding that to the queue.
Wow, feels like the end of an era, huh?
The previous thread goes back to 2002. I skimmed it the other day, and it felt like I was looking at an archeological dig. Time moves swiftly on the Internets.
I've gotten that particular comment many, many times on a number of my one-shots.
"Um, I killed the main characters, I can't do a sequel." "You can bring them back!" "Which negates all the angst and nobility and emotion everyone loves." "But I really like this story."
I suffer from "But what happens next?" syndrome as much as the next person, but sometimes the story's just done, folks.
How do people who write outside the Buffyverse refer to being Jossed?
It gets a fair amount of pan-fandom usage.
What does that term mean, out of curiosity?

You write a lovely fic about Spike's childhood as a street hoodlum. And then Joss comes along and reveals him to have been a pretentious if mediocre twit of a poet. Congratulations, your fic has been unconsensually fucked by canon!
(so named because Joss is a master of the fic-busting plot twist)
Ah. Okay. So it's not really something that Joss, specifically, does bad.
EDIT: I bet any background fics written early on in "Lost" fandom were just screwed.

Also, "What do you mean, Dru's his Sire! He said himself it was Angel!"
