Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Okay, so I gots me a CD of scores by Robert Kral today. I always loved his work with the score to Angel (The Birth of Angelus - tres lovely), but I've never listened to his stuff on it's own before. It's epic, and so very beautiful.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The Jane adoration is strong in Prisonor of Trebekistan (as it should be). She even gets her own chapter. You should all read it while you're waiting for Vampire People to be released.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I second aurelia's recommendation of Prisoner or Trebekistan. I didn't know any of that backstory, and I was so touched by how much he digs Jane. And he's friends with Danny Strong! Plus, it's a hilarious book.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thirding the rec of Prisoner of Trebekistan. Loved that book.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Just read something odd on whedonesque and rather than piss people off over there I came here to ask a question.
There were people who didn't like Illyria? Really?
I thought it was the most impressive Acker has ever been. I was blown away (both by Amy and by the poster at whedonesque).

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
I recall disliking the story. My disbelief couldn't suspend. But by that point, there was the whole St. Cordelia thing with the you're a champion, Angel, and the schtuping Connor and the ascending and the champion and the Angel/Cordy and the champion and then I was cooked.

See, I can completely understand having issues with the whole Cordelia thing and/or Connor. I can't comprehend someone not liking the character of Illyria. Amy rocked that part. I guess I just don't get someone feeling betrayed over Fred's death (or whatever), but then I will never in a million years understand the vagaries of Buffyverse fandom.
The Firelfy folks, I get. Not that I always agree, but I get them. The Buffy fandom, baffles me.

I didn't miss Fred at all, lord knows. The only thing funnier than Fred dying was Wesley dying. And Amy Acker was very good in the role.
But Illyria, the character, was still a boring, cliched waste of time. I mean, honestly. What was the point of all that?
