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.

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

I seem to have missed these discussions. I feel cleaner for it.
Victor, you are Plei's psychic twin right? I'm not mis-remembering? You may be greatful the link wasn't working that....
perplexed as to what length of time should go here. Week, month, eon?

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.)

True, true.

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Miss Vanna, are you referring to something other than that Joss post? Because I have to say, I don't really see any put-down of people who are into spoilers in it. If anything, I think he's poking fun at people who are real spoiler-phobes.
We've got all kinds around here, for sure. Hell, some of my favorite people are spoiled!

Oh, hell yeah. I can think of about a zillion new plot bunnies.
They've both managed to integrate the darker parts of themselves into who they are as a whole, and have come out of their brushes with acute alienation and betrayal (and hot sex with the evil people) stronger than before, but without completely losing the parts that made them decent people. (insert random compare/contrast with the way that they came to terms with their feelings for Spike/Lilah here)

Sadly (and I can only speak from the Het!YAY! side of the pond) porn (or at least the porn industry that buys scripts - and I use most of those terms loosely) doesn't have any use for the imagination (and intelligence) involved in what you write.
Oh - you did the Faith/Fred right? You may veer towards the Het!YAY! but your g on g Ho!YAY! ain't lacking much. In the funny or the porn.

A-yup. That was me.
Based on the written porn I have in my library, I think I'd just have to take the sex scenes from everything, string them together with some random segues, and pretend that counts as a plot.
Unfortunately, I've noticed most written porn seems to be in first person, which I rarely write. Oh well. I'll stick to computers, I guess.
