Her creation, sure. I'm a little tetchy (like Jesse on Angel's "death") because there are so many fen references to her still being supernatural.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Gee, it was such a pretty observation.
So was mine. Which is why I come to the Buffy thread. It helps me realize that I have no understanding of the show in any way. *g*

Though to be fair to those who talk about Angel's death, even he refers to it as dying. (Did in Dear Boy.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
OK, I braved the TT thread. One poster made a number of posts on BtVS as pro-War on Drugs propaganda, with vampires as addicts and the Scoobs as government policies. Can't say I was persuaded. But did have the great line:
Does the Slayer protect humanity or protect the memory of the Spice Girls?
Not much response to her, mostly DNFTEC warnings.
And from a different poster, in memoriam:
But what I really want to know is -- what did Mark Hellish think?
WARNING: Much open discussion there of an Angel spoiler.
If this post is poor netiquette, please let me know. I'll delete.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks!
MWAH!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Though to be fair to those who talk about Angel's death, even he refers to it as dying. (Did in Dear Boy.)
It's really only in comparison that it bothers me. He wasn't dusted, is what I'm saying. I mean, he's a vampire -- obviously death is no deterrent to having a nice life, but when people are talking about a vampire dying, generally they mean staking, to never return (or at least not without the big mojo, cf. Darla).

All is well that ends in pizza.
Remonds me of the woman who wrote to Reader's Digest screaming at them for supporting JK Rowling when, "according to internet newspaper The Onion, she is recuiting millions of children to her satanic cult."
When I was in college, around '89 or so, a very conservative guy had a whole diatribe of a report in our 400-level *Journalism* class. In it he lambasted demonic imagry and lyrics in the record industry.
His prime example was Spinal Tap's album.
After his diatribe, read aloud in front of the class, he took questions.
I shot up my hand and said "Um, you know that Spinal Tap is a parody record, right?" The look on his face said he did not.
I loved every frelling second of the silence in the room.

Great story Daniel.
It makes me think of all the people I've heard screaming about the "backwards satanic messages" in Hotel California.
Every time I hear that, it makes me want to ask "have you tried listening to the song normally? You really don't have to put that much work into it..."
