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!

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

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)

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.)

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.

Brenda, I don't know why that kind of upset me, and it's not even so much that post in particular. I get that it was meant to be lighthearted, and it was, but I've seen other stuff where there was much more down putting on the topic of spoilers. It just made me feel bad because I don't feel like it was really a big deal at all. Guilt for my spoilage I suppose.

No problem, Ms V. Sorry you're feeling that way, and I hope it's not something you're picking up around here.

Heh. I actually yelled at my sister today to the tune of "Do you know how pissed at you I would be right now if someone hadn't already spoiled me on that yesterday!"

We all, spoiler hos and 'phobes alike, get pretty silly sometimes.

No no no. It's never the Buffistas! It was mostly like, the last crusade against spoilers, because stupid reporters and the like kept bringing it up in interviews with some of the crew, and especially Joss. I remember one which said something to the effect 'those who like to see the show pure, that is who I am talking to.' It just seemed kinda poopy.

Yeah, the writers were poopheads about We the Spoiled. I believe that's about when I started my Spoiler Pride drive on my LJ, and made my Spoiler Ho user icons.

Sigh.

First off, apologies to DXMachina for not getting the whiteout text from an earlier post formatted properly even after two edits.

Second, I'm betting dollars to donuts thatwhenever S7's DVD compilation comes out, that we'll see either "deleted scenes" from the series finale or alternate endings.

Other than that, next fall is going to really suck. I have my television priorities -- Buffy, Angel, Gilmore Girls, and college football. Not having new fresh piping hot Buffys is going to be tough to get used to.

Bummer.

They just had three fresh-water otters on Leno-named Buffy, Xander, and Willow. I kid you not.
