Well, Betsy, I know that
Golden Wonder
make crisps. Quite nice crisps too, iirc. So I guess they also must sell peanuts. Although why they felt the need for a club to celebrate the glory of their peanuts is a whole nother question, and one which I feel I am ill qualified to answer.
Just rewatching early season 3 of Buffy, and am appreciating Dingoes lead singer Devon for the first time
You wouldn't
believe
the vast ocean of fanfic featuring Devon that exists out there. I'm talking shitloads. Mad, eh?
Re: Season 7 Buffy - I must confess I missed several episodes, so I'm going to have to wait until I get the season on DVD or video to really appreciate things properly. I had mixed feelings about the Season at times, but overall I liked it. And I think, having decided to bring Buffy back from heaven, that it's appropriate that she be thinner and more weary and less perky. (Agree that SMG would look healthier if there were a wee bit more of her, but I blame the damned industry for that. Stupid industry.

Timelies!
Emergency message to Angus.. my tape for Tuesday's buffy did not work. Can we arrange something? Will contact soon.
Plasmo--arghh! Yes, sure. Let me know.
A truckload of Devon fic, eh, Fay? Wonders will never cease. So I suppose there's Jesse yarns out there too. And Larry fic. I really liked Larry. His coming out scene with Xander was cool. Then he was one of the whitehats in The Wish, which I just watched last night with my son, who couldn't figure out why Willow and Xander were behaving so badly in it. I tried to explain that this was just a pretend story about a different reality but then realised I was making it sound like normal Buffy stuff was actually real. Then I got confused...

Imagine trying to explain the multi-layer 'reality' of Andrew's little documentary earlier this season. I love that episode so much I wish it was a living thing so I could hug it.

Not so much. Devon shows up in a lot of fic as the Ultimate Man Slut. Dead Gay Larry occasionally pops up, and I've seen one or two Jesse-centric stories. A quick check at the BfA will show the disproportionate amount of Devon fic out there.
Maybe because he's kind of a blank screen?
Maybe it helps that he's associated with Oz?
I just had what must be an extremely common fanfic experience. The description said Devon/Host pairing. I thought: 'No way that can work.' I read it, and it totally worked.

Based on this one story, I'd say this could be part of the reason. The author gave him divorced parents, anger at the world and bisexuality, none of which are textual as far as I can remember.
