Oh, and VBG just recently turned up on the Buffy Boards, where she responded to a post by the board owner by calling her a "moron." Making new friends already! Oh jeez. There should be a bible according to VBG. Verse One: All who are not VBG are morons. Verse Two: Joss be damned, Oz is NOT appearing in Buffy: Season Eight. Verse Three: Trust me, I know. Verse Four: How? I just do! More to be added at a later date. PS: Not really, though.

Did she give you guys the "If you have a problem with me, PM me, don't post in the forum, you moron."

Imagine her at a con.
"Josh, can you sign this comic?"
"Actually, it's Joss." He signs.
"What? Crap, you spelled it wrong."
"Spelled what wrong."
"Josh. You put two s's and no h, you moron."

Wexi, are you British or Scottish or Australian? Kinda close I guess. Malaysian, which from the 1700s (I can't remember the exact year, but I think it was sometime in the 1700s... it's been a while since I looked at a history textbook) until 1957 (barring the years of the Japanese occupation during WWII) was a British colony. Why? Did I switch to colonial mode again? But given globalization, I've adopted various colloquial sayings from various places... which tends to muddy everything up.

Didn't Brian say somewhere (an interview or Q/A) that they planned to use a major BtVS character, but decided not to do it? I'm not sure, sometimes I remember things wrong. And there is the Loan Shark? I don't know how serious this deal is and if minor characters like the shark fall under it. Yes,Brian did say that over here. forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=4553&start=345&sid=cb148b1d5df3005602313c41d6799667I'm sure Mr. Allie knows about the inner workings of the business far better than I do, but Joss not writing the outline for ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL so Fox would allow him to use the characters in BUFFY is news to me.
I'm not sure why Joss doesn't write the outline for ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL by himself, but I can give you my side of it, if you want. After I ran into Joss and told him about SPIKE:ASYLUM, he went out and bought it and liked it, and that kinda inspired him to get thinking about an official ANGEL continuation. He contacted Chris Ryall and suggested it.
He told me that he wasn't planning on doing this project at that time (simply for lack of time, the man has a lot on his plate) but if I wanted to go over his plans and talk the outline out with him and then do the bulk of the heavy lifting as the series went on, that would be wonderful.
The fact is he CAN use the ANGEL characters when he wants to. That has been stated by Joss, and by Scott Allie in the past quite a bit. And I do believe the reverse is true, because at one point, Joss brought up maybe bringing over a big character from BUFFY for an issue of ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL. A quick appearance to be sure, but it was considered. The story didn't necessitate it, so we didn't do it.
As I near the end of my run on ANGEL, I realize how truly lucky I am. I got handed the keys to my favorite TV show ever by the creator of the world himself. And it's been daunting but I think after we got our sea legs the series really became something special.
I am a huge fan of the BUFFY book and continue to be. I avoid the letters page as I don't know if there's going to be a subtle (?) dig at our work, but I anxiously await each issue. It's a great series with wonderful art and amazing writers. Everyone involved should be proud.

The "and other bits" part. I've only recently heard of "bits" being slang for genitalia, and I've been saying it like a fiend ever since. Love it.

And ditto to the plusing of the Emmie karma, whoever said that before. Though, I may have just done so to warrant another double post. I kid.

Heh. Emmie, when the passive aggressive "curse" thing came up, I truly thought you were talking about Angel's curse. And I was thinking "Well, Angel is cursed so I don't think it's that passive-aggressive an argument unless she means the person was brushing off anything she had to say with "Angel's got a curse" or something. Oh well, I didn't see the post so I have no idea what she's talking about". A whole long idiotic train of thought later...I realized I was totally on another plane of existence. Durf.
And no, I've never used the curse function (or I guess it's "subtract" now.) It's very petty and not something I'd ever do, but then again it is there for a reason. Strange.
edited to add: hey! I have the least amount of rep points in my Buffyfest group. How the hell did Michelle get a hundred more than me? Sheesh.

Well, I just karma'd you to cancel out the curse. (Are Karma Wars a part of Hindu philosophy, I wonder?) Aw thank you. They should use a system of stakes. Where you can rate a post from 1-5 stakes, sort of like how the Buffy/Angel magazine used to rate books and comic. That way, if your post gets one stake, a) it's only for that post and b) no one cares, because a stake graphic still [bold] looks[/bold] awesome. Plus, you could say "I just got staked," which is fun. I like that idea! Nina, I don't know if there's a way to make Rep Points/Karma on Proboards the way there is on Vboards. That's why whenever I karma somebody I always post after the fact to tell people like... Buffyfest -> 100 Karma. For all that you do with sharing of the interviews and awesomeness.

Ha! he/she was soooo annoying, determined to be right about everything. Things that were confirmed by Scott Allie or even Joss himself was not good enough.
