Nicole, that was great.

Faith leaned closer to Buffy, backing her against the wall, and whispered into Buffy's ear, "I might have expected this from Willow."

The above totally evoked Faith for me. I could see just how Eliza would play that, how she sort of does the leaning in, and the words come out of her mouth so softly, her lip movements almost don't match up, just before she slightly jerks her head back. Just great. You do great Faith voice. I think your Buffy is fine. I think you can either take or leave the "in fact". I can hear Buffy adding that in her thought, or not.

Faith walked over to Buffy and mock punched her in the arm with a coy smile. "I'm just saying, it's not like The Watcher's Council

General question to everyone, shouldn't that either be "Watchers' Council" or "Council of Watchers". I've always taken it as a plural possessive, but just end up using "Council of Watchers," instead, because it's easier.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I did a quick search for "council" in my scripts, and...

WEATHERBY

By order of the Watcher's Council,

you are being taken into custody

until such time --

It is "Watcher's Council" everywhere but in "Never Leave Me" where the name of the board room is listed as INT WATCHERS' COUNCIL DAY.

Not that we have to adhere to the script's spelling, just providing what we have.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I never use Council of Watchers, because it's pretty clearly "Watchers' Council" in the text.

Though, 99% of the time, I just use the Council.

I guess I'd have to lean towards "Watcher's Council," for each member is a Watcher, singular.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, but the Watchers, as a group, are the ones to whom the council belongs, not one in particular.

Reference question: If one were to travel from Hamburg to Prague by means other than a train or airplane, how long would it take?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Rackenfraken computer ate my post. Posting this for connie's and then back for Nicole's and subsequent.

What are we going to do with thirty some war horses?"

"eBay?" Buffy said without thinking.

snorfle!

Her mind shied away from the whole thing of Xander and Anya and what Xander had done in the night. "

Stray quotes marks at the end of the last line in post # 6697

A couple of somebody's

Would be "somebodies", I think.

Punctuation otherwise, okey dokey.

Storywise--wow. I waited and wanted the end, and it was grand, as was the whole long tale! But now--it's over! No! But wait--

know there was a sequel coming

Yay! WooHoo!

When?

More to connie. I've said before, your version has replaced (rewritten?) canon for me. This was so much better than what we actually got. Thank you.

Nicole, great Faith, you captured her both physically and vocally, I think.

The piece is too short to tell for sure. translation: write more.

Deb, pages read, you have email.

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

Bev, got it, and thanks. Blessed be, between you and Plei.

Just posted in Great Write; my editor is in the office for some reason.

Always Anti-fascist!

Buffy's hardest, for me. Maybe her language isn't raunchy enough.:)

I never use Council of Watchers, because it's pretty clearly "Watchers' Council" in the text.

I found "Council of Watchers" in Checkpoint and Revelations, through Mr. Pointy. Mr. Pointy only came up with 22 scripts with the word "council" at all (although "council" is used multiple times in many of those scripts). I agree "Council of Watchers" is less common, but I like it better. So there. :-P

>Though, 99% of the time, I just use the Council.

Most of the time, the scripts do, too.
