He also said that he found Left Behind fanfiction.
It's probably WAY better written than the actual books. And maybe the characters get to swear and get laid.
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of the canon bits are interesting, but mostly I enjoyed being shocked at the 100% fanon entries.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oy. Some of the 100% fanon entries are the sort of things that take me right out of the story, no matter how well-written the rest of it may be, blood tears (the hell?) and purring in vampires being the most egregious examples. I'm not fond of "childe" or "whelp" either.

Blood tears, I believe, are part of the traditional vampire legend.

The Buffyverse never struck me as a place to introduce or assume any traditional vampire legends that Joss hadn't already dealt with. Insistence on doing so mostly made me think of "They're separate from humanity, and must carry the burden of immortality. They are creatures above us. Exalted."

Question about Vividcon. Can you come and be a participating member, the 70$ thing, without actually having vidded? I'm not a vidder, but I do so enjoy them.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
