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.
Jossing is more when fanon (usually based on strong implications in the text) gets overwritten by a new story which lays out what really happened in a particular past time period.
Oh, David is right. Thanks, Hec. I had my terms mangled. Still, it would have screwed things up, or Joss would have jossed himself, I guess is how I should have said it.

That's actually how he described it when "Chosen" contradicted the continuity of Fray.
I was thinking of Chosen and Fray after I posted that. I didn't remember joss saying he jossed himself, though. I think I just remember Plei saying it, and that could have been part of my problem with the definition. Plei writes fic I would swear was canon, if only I could find the right tape.
Was it ever established what use the Excalibraxe would have been to Caleb and the First Evil had Buffy not taken it away?
I can't remember. Wasn't it just that they didn't want Buffy to have it?

Good for chopping.

I think that's it.

I don't remember saying it, FWIW, but I do remember seeing that Joss said it.
Jossing, as I learned it in the ficverse (like everything else, it would seem that there are multiple meanings to the term) means that something previously considered possible has been made unpossible within the confines of canon. This is a very sloppy definition, I realize.
Retcon's an old comics term, IIRC. (BTW, I'm still finding myself stuck in TLA and FLA land, despite work having been over for almost two weeks. It's a thing. Mea Culpa. And stuff. Honest, I'll start spelling things out in full ADN.)

You are the least spelling-out person I know.
