The Husband of the Voice of Reason is brilliant.
Well, of course. Do you think that Jilli would settle for less than perfection?
Heeee! I'm all chuffed, I am!
That's insane troll logic!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tina, there shouldn't be a prize for worst finale day story, but you and Gus (rabid monkey bite) are angling for it, for sure.

I think it really doesn't matter a whole lot whether your prefer spoiled or unspoiled. I tend to avoid spoilers because I enjoy the first experience of seeing what happens. But then I also always enjoy an episode more the second time I see it--which at that point I'm totally spoiled, having already seen it once. Yet it works better and has more resonance for me that second time.
So I guess I avoid spoilers mostly because I know that I'll get to see it spoiled later. But I'll only get to be surprised by it once.

I 've been hands under the shirt, over the bra, Calvins in a wad on the front seat with some S7 Buffy spoilers - but we never went all the way ~tinaf
I understand the frustration of a creator and the spoiler conflict. But I don't think that making the unpure ones out to be the second coming of the hellmouth is the way to go. It's all a matter of preference...the unspoiled are very clear about their wishes and the spoiled respects them. It just makes me sad that Joss finds the people who go with the option to spoil not a real audience or something. Cause that is what I got out of it.

I seem to have missed these discussions. I feel cleaner for it.

I did not speak of it in depth so much as mention that there were a couple of times where I was picking up a disturbing, almost sexual, vibe between them. (This was in S3)
It's not my fault that ME decided Connorcest was the new black this past season. (Scrubs brain)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

She got the fanfic side of the brain, evidently. I write "Spec scripts," which are different only in that there's less gay sex and I can make believe that I can someday make money off of them.
On the whole, it's a dodgy trade off.

Feh. I can change the names and details and sell 'em as porn.
(Though, sadly, there's been more Het!YAY! than Ho!YAY! in my writing.)

Speaking of which, do you think post-Hellmouth!Buffy would work the same with Wes?
