Questions Post #9

[lettered]

It's been a while, but it's the first of the month, and I have more questions.

How tall is Nicholas Brendon?
Have I asked that before?
Why do they put people on boxes? I like the height differences. Now all I can think about are the boxes.

What's a fanfic remix?
What is "O.o" supposed to represent?

When do you think Cordelia went evil?
When was the first moment you knew you really liked Cordelia as a character?

Do you like Buffy's look in S1? Did you always like it, or did you find it barf worthy and then later learn to love it?
Did Flutie getting eaten shock you?
Does Giles seem really nervous when he first meets Angel? Doesn't he seem like he's acting how I get around someone I think is really really cool or really really hot? Not that you would know how I get but can't you imagine it?
Was there actually a plan for a plot with the Annoying One or was he just set up and then they couldn't figure out what to do with him?
Does anyone know if there were ever any ideas expressed by anyone re: what S6 of AtS may've been if they'd gotten a chance to do it, and if so is there a link to the conversation/whatever it was? Because I'm morbidly curious.

Are Potentials of a certain age? When Willow makes them all Slayers, does she activate little girls who would be, and old women who would've been? Or just gals of a certain age?
What happens when all those activated Slayers die? Is it back to one Slayer dies and another one is called?
Is any of this covered in Fray?

Do you think W&H's/Vail's spell to give Connor a life gets broken when Vail dies/Angel reneges on his deal to "work for" W&H? As in, the false memories disappear and no one has the false memories any more so Connor is pretty much basically back where he started, unless his family is willing to accept him anyway even though they have no memory of him/feelings for him before a year ago, nor he of them?

Did Larry die?
When did Giles invite Angel into his house, so that Angel could get in in "Passions"?
What does the line "I'm the one getting single white femaled here" mean? Is that a dumb question? Am I slow? I just don't get it.
Why do you think they decided to make Drusilla Spike's Sire?

Too late. I already love you!

And I'm sure his blood pressure comes in somewhere around 130 over 80, 'cause Xander's does...

You n' Willow're peas in a pod. I almost said pies in a pod. Mmm.

it's so both people can be in frame,

Oh! Duh.

"Don't you have an elsewhere to be?" to Xander in Welcome to the Hellmouth

Heh. My first intro to Cordy was the first 4 eps of AtS, in which I loved her. But then I started with S1 BtVS and was all like huh? I started to think I'd read her character wrong, and began to find her just completely annoying. Then I saw "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" and have loved her forever since. (What happened to her character in AtS S3 wasn't Cordy's fault.)

The weird bouffant hair thing

I love that!

wondering why Flutie had a picture of himself on his desk.

Ha! I never even thought about that before.

I didn't understand many things in Season 7, though.

None of us did.

However, when Angel renged it could have definitely been reversed, since it was a quid pro quo thing. You should write that fic. I'd read it.

Well, the main reason I ask is because I'd like to write that fic. If someone pipes up with a yeah, that's possible, and I wrote about it here! I'll back off, but that story needs to be written. Connor would be even MORE fucked up, just when you thought he couldn't get any fucked upier.

But to go from "You were my sire, my Yoda!" to grandsire always bothered me, as I know it did many, many others.

It didn't bother me because I knew Dru was Spike's sire before I ever heard that line, so it was easy to understand that line in a non-literal way. While I like the idea of Angel being Spike's sire because that deepens their connection, I think Drusilla as Spike's sire makes more sense for the interactions we get on screen. There's something about...I don't know, the responsibility Angel feels/doesn't feel, for what happened to William and . . . I don't know, if Angel had really sired Spike, Spike would be more comfortable, I think, with his yearning to be respected by Angel, and his defiance of Angel. That is, he'd be able to comfortable label Angel, and Angel him, no matter how much discord there was there, a lot of it could come down to father/son dynamics. But instead they feel all those sorts of feelings when they're not as directly connected as they could be, and it frustrates them, and confuses them, and makes them yearn for/hate each other all the more. That's my take on it anyway.

What happened to her character in AtS S3 wasn't Cordy's fault. Amen, sister.

There's something about...I don't know, the responsibility Angel feels/doesn't feel, for what happened to William and . . . I don't know, if Angel had really sired Spike, Spike would be more comfortable, I think, with his yearning to be respected by Angel, and his defiance of Angel. Oh, that's excellent. Yes...now I want you to write that in a fic. An S/A fic. We're totally talking about this in Austin. I'm gonna outline an S/A fic I'd like to see from you (whether you write it or not is optional) and you get to a B/A for me. Whether actually posting comes from it, we can at least spin yarns and see what the other would do with it.

Write that Connor fic! I love "what if" stories like that, and Season 5 Connor really intrigues me, so to see him lose his past and his present...interesting.

What a cool idea! I don't care if you're serious, I totally am going to concot a B/A fic for you to write. And discuss. And will gladly try to write your A/S, too! I actually have an outline for an A/S fic I really want to write, but I haven't been able to work out this one aspect of it in my head. Possibly, I will throw it at your head when I see you, with hand gestures, because it would be so much easier to explain in person.

The trouble is that I'm kind of simultaneously already writing 3 Connor fics. And a B/A fic. And sometimes that A/S fic, though not so much. Plus two B/A epics, which is like a whole nother ballgame. But! Hopefully I'll do something with it one day. Or someone else will!

That's a very interesting way of looking at it. I've never seen anyone express that before.

I'm glad to hear it made sense. It's something that bears thinking about, I think, and something I've often wanted to do meta on, but I wasn't sure I could articulate exactly how I felt about it.
