Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Schmoker, the best place to post downloading information is probably Buffistechnology -- there's been some discussion there of downloading from BitTorrent, but more sources are always welcome (not that we'd ever do such a thing).

OKay, here's the tentative set of new Buffy Mythology FAQ questions:

    • How do you get to be a slayer?
  1. Why are there two slayers right now?
  2. Why wasn't another slayer called after Buffy died in The Gift?
  3. Whatever happened to Oz? Drusilla? Harmony? Joyce? Riley? Hank Summers?
  4. Why is Dawn just starting high school in S7 when she was 14 in S5?
  5. Is Spike's sire Drusilla, or Angel?
  6. How old is Spike?
  7. How old is Angel?
  8. Didn't the same actress play Halfrek and Cecily? What's the connection between them?
  9. Why did Spike get his soul at the end of S6? Didn't he want his chip out?
  10. How come Buffy could close the portal at the end of S5?
  11. When is Buffy's birthday? Wasn't it different in S1?
  12. How did Angel return from the Hell dimension after S2?
  13. Did Buffy actually kill Dracula?
  14. What happened to Whistler?
  15. What's with demons and kittens?
  16. Who is Dead Guy Larry?
  17. Who is the Ripper?

I don't know the answers to numbers 14 or 15

Questions from the current FAQ I'd like to copy over:

    • James Marsters isn't English?
  1. Alexis Denisof isn't English?
  2. Oh, no, what about Anthony Stewart Head?
  3. Is that at least really Giles singing?
  4. What's up with the complexity of Faith?
  5. Who are Fuffy and Baith?
  6. Who is Dawn? (The answer to this Q could probably use a rewrite/condensing. Who wants to volunteer?)
  7. How does someone become a vampire?
  8. If a vampire doesn't need to eat or drink for sustenance, why do they? If a vampire doesn't need to breathe, why can they smoke?
  9. If vampires don't have a heartbeat or blood pressure, how do they achieve an erection?
  10. Why can I see Angel/Spike/Drusilla/Darla breathing? (Query: Could we combine these three?)
  11. Um, excuse me, it's Season 6. Where the hell does Giles think he's going?!?

Questions, comments, additions, or deletions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Moved from current FAQ: What's 5x5?

Thanks, ita. I wasn't sure where vocabulary ended and mythology started on some things.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Is that at least really Giles singing?

Maybe rewrite this one to cover all of them singing in OMWF?

If I only had a brain...

What happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico? (It does come up every now and again.)

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

10.If vampires don't have a heartbeat or blood pressure, how do they achieve an erection?

People ask this question?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

People ask this question?

By people, meaning us? Yes.

That's one reason why I want to combine all of the "Why can vampires do X?" Qs, Allyson -- the answers are all, pretty much, "Because the script says they can."
