And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hmm... titles?

  • "Smouldering Ruins"?
  • "A Gift of Janus"?
  • "Two-Faced Coin"?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Different lines and scenes from Deb's stories have been running through my head each time I wake up

I've been thinking about it all day, too! And even as Deb is asking Connie for more, I'm still waving my "Deb, Please Write More Amanda!" flag.

Thanks for all the fish.

Maybe just a play on 'Potential'. It can refer to the Potentials, it could refer to the reawakened relationship...

The best titles are all portmanteaus.

Crap, you just cannot use the word "faith" in anything without people expecting The Other Slayer. Mmffh.

Will get food, continue to think.

The more I think about it, the two iconic images from connie's story are the exploding library and the two-faced coin.

If this were part of a funny series, "Ethan Rayne, Agent of J.A.N.U.S." would be cool.

"Fighting Chaos with Chaos" keeps leaping to the top of my primal soup, but I don't like the flow of the syllables.

Gods, it feels so pretentious to wonder if Shakespeare paced around trying to come up wtih titles. Sure, "The Tragicall History of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" is easy, but "Much Ado About Nothing," how long did it take to come up with that?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Connie, I like something handles the two-faced aspect, myself. It's like the old college philosophy prof says, "you can't see both sides of a coin at once without a mirror. And even then, you can't see its edge."

Huh. Never even occurred to me before to write anything more about Amanda; where would that go? I mean - she was young, she was Rupert's honey, she was the first Slayer in history who was born to Other Things (a more powerful witch than she was slayer) and she was physically handicapped at about twenty. So, where would that story be - in terms of her life, that is? Post-spell screwup, her travels through other dimensions? Amanda the Teenaged Witch-Slayer?

I'd like to hear about her relationship with Giles (because I have a soft spot for Giles -- hell, who doesn't?), how her time as Slayer was different than all the others b/c of her witchy powers, and/or her travels through other dimensions.

I'm just utterly intrigued by her.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I want to know what happens later. Giles is supposed to trust her and she's got the slayer's incorporeal self. What happened, exactly, that made Buffy describe it as "being in heaven"? What happens to Amanda now that this is over? Does she go back to Giles? Did Giles trust her? Was he right to trust her from his perspective, considering that, as far as he knew, Buffy died and was brought back by "foul" means? Does he want to know more? Does he go looking for Amanda's home? If he does, does he find it? Can Amanda help somehow with this season's big bad?

I could think of more....
