(Aren't there Nancy Springer ones that are supposed to be good?)
Nancy Holder, I'm guessing from the following messages? Because I'd be fascinated to see Buffy written by Nancy Springer. Or, even better, Angel. Hello to the slash!
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I think the Gatekeeper triology is the best I've read. I'm been pretty disappointed by most of them, especially Pretty Maids All In A Row. it had the capactity to be a really good story, but it wasn't very well handled.

I agree with this, and I also enjoyed The Lost Slayer serial novels.

I never read the Lost Slayer books- who wrote them?

Christopher Golden. they were released as 4 small books, like when Stephen King released the Green Mile in smaller books. I think they have been (or soon will be) released in one single book.
The summaries of those books on that link are a bit spoilery for the plot.

I'll look out for them/it.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Just a reminder that the latest Buffy comic, #51, "Viva Las Buffy", part 1 of 4, is due out today. Apparently, Fabian Nicieza is more in charge in this arc, as Scott Lobdell is too busy with his Hollywood screenwriting to be fully involved. The story takes place in the time between the end of "The Origin" comics (based on the movie screenplay) and the beginning of the series.
I'm going to get a copy in any case (for completion's sake), so if anybody wants to know if the book is worth getting, I'll drop a line later.

I'd be intersted to know- comics aren't my thing, but people keep saying they should be, and I'm wondering if Buffy ones are an easy way in.

I think Fray, a limited series wriiten by Joss about a Slayer 300 years in the future, would be a good way into comics. The Buffy comics themselves? Not so much, especially lately.
(BTW,
Fray
was my gateway drug reintroduction back into the comics world, much to the detriment to my wallet, but to a great increase in my entertainment.)

I shall keep an eye open for it. Thank you.
