There was the spec script. I say gather nieces and nephews (are there any?) of gradeschool age and videotape a backyard theater performance.

Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Tim didn't have a Buffy spec. He had an X-Files one. IIRC, it's the only spec he wrote.
ETA: He did have a Buffy pitch, I think, involving Xander.

Ah, that's the thing I'm thinking of then. Was it just a brief outline?

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
