I'd like to ask the same question i (tried) to ask Brian Lynch twice, but no doubt it while just be deleted again and even one of your admins wont answer, he can post it for me though if he wants =] thealphagamer, this Q&A is for Scott Allie not Brian Lynch. What question are you referring to?

Scott -- I'd ask you to break us off any kind of 'shippy spoilage at all, but you'd say something about Warren and Amy's little spat.
So, how about this -- now that Riley is revealed as being villain-ish, can you confirm whether or not most of our theories for why Riley might be Twilight are right? Namely, does his turn have *something* to do with his wife?

Which was why does this forum get so many exclusives like this when there are better Buffy forums out there?

thealphagamer -
Why? Because we make an effort to build a rapport with creators of the comics and have a lot of comic fans on our site. Because the forum is very active in discussions regarding Buffy Season 8 and After the Fall. Because we make them welcome here and show appreciation for their time. Because Slayalive's format is Q&A friendly. Because we take the time and initiative to ask, then devote the time to bringing this to others.
Now thealphagamer, why are you here? To cause trouble and insult over 1300 members? Thanks, but we don't need members who subscribe to hate. Refrain from further personal attacks. First and final warning.

Hoping this for not to be a dumb question, but will anything important be revealed in Issue 20? Like major revelations that'll answer questions brought up in the past that haven't been answered?

Hi again—
Bamph—Absolutely, more Fray stories remain to be told. We've always said we want to do more with Fray. I spoke to Joss today, and there were things he's doing right now that I wasn't even on top of—so I'm going to be staying focused on Buffy S8 with him, and continue to put off my wishes to do more Fray, more other things. We'll keep doing Doc Horrible related things with Joss and Zack, but sadly I don't think there'll be more Fray soon.
Sosalola—The exact location in Scotland is undetermined for now. As I've said in other similar Q&As, it's best to keep that stuff vague until you HAVE to pin it down in the context of the story.
Amuk—I doubt you'll see all your questions answered regarding their futures. Some more will be revealed, but do not expect a big fill-in-the-blanks issue.
RichShag—No on that hand, but yes on more about the future.
King—I cannot help you with that, sorry. No spoilers about Riley, that story definitely remains to be told.
And to AlphaGamer—this isn't an exclusive thing. I'm here because something drew me to this board, I read some stuff, liked some (not all!) of the people on here, and someone asked me to do this. And Emmie has made it easy for me to do it, so I do it periodically. I have no board loyalty, but this one reached out to me, and has been good to deal with. I imagine it's the same thing for Brian Lynch.

While I can't think of any good questions, that are answerable/non-spoilery...I am wondering if you have decided on an official name for the upcoming arc for Issues 20-25? Also, thank you so much for taking time to do this so often. The members here really do appreciate it, and it's something we all look forward to. It is nice to get in touch with someone so close to what we all love!

Another question:
How do you (and Joss, if you can tell us) estimate the fan reaction to certain issues, or arcs, or characters, or events? Do you browse fan forums, Whedonesque, LiveJournal etc., or do you rely mostly on the letters you receive?

Another question:
Can we get the last names of Renee, Satsu, Leah and Rewena?

Trey—I guess the answer to your question is probably no, but it's hard to say what will be important to readers. Maybe things in #20 will confirm some of your ideas, but there aren't any major shockers coming down.
Cowboy Guy—the next arc is actually 21-25—#20 was the tail end of the #16-19 story. But we don't have a name for this arc yet. And yes, we've heard the suggestion Five by Five. But since Faith does not utter that line in #24—and a lot of other reasons—we're probably not gonna use that title.
Enisy—Besides the lettercol, Whedonesque is probably the place we look the most. And we'll sometimes look at threads that a friend sends us to, which is how I wound up here. In answer to the inevitable followup—the reaction we see on the interwebs has made us clarify things that we thought were clear already, like the cinnamon kiss back in the first arc, but it hasn't changed the course of anything in the story so far. We mainly look for confirmation—did they think Dark Willow was actually Drusilla? Good. Do they have a hundred suspects for Twilight? Good.
Sosalola—still no names for the other Slayers. Sorry ... Details like that will come up when the story naturally requires them.
Good night, gang, I'll check back in the morning— Scott

Okay, not sure if this has been asked, because I'm staying away from the other posts here(haven't got the issue yet).
Do Darkhorse have any plans on releasing any extras? For example, a whole book with nothing but Season 8 goodies, sketches, interviews, fun facts, etcetc or maybe just some extras within a hardcover or tradeback of the issues (For example a Season 8 Omnibus)?
Futhermore, would that be possible for the other Buffy comics?

Do you think you might write an issue for Season 9 or so? And if you were to, which characters and/or relationships would you most want to tackle?

I'll submit two questions and if you would, just answer which ever you fancy more. 1) Are any writers picked for Season Nine yet? (Yes, I am aware we're about three years early) Or who would you like to write for Season Nine? 2) Which of the upcoming arc, 21 - 25 is your favourite? Don't say they're like children and you can't decide! And why.

thealphagamer - Why? Because we make an effort to build a rapport with creators of the comics and have a lot of comic fans on our site.

Because Slayalive's format is Q&A friendly. Because we take the time and initiative to ask, then devote the time to bringing this to others. Now thealphagamer, why are you here?

No i'm here because as i said, you lot get all the exclusives and find out more than everyone else some how, and so far i haven't personally attacked anyone, it was a valid question. And you wonder why i don't like this place considering how friendly you lot are here And to AlphaGamer—this isn't an exclusive thing.

Thank you, first and only person who's seen that that was a valid question and answered it nicely It did come across a tad insulting, sort of saying that since there are 'better forums' out there that somehow we are not justified hosting this Q&A. Personally I only know of two other Buffy forums. So of course that will anger regulars at this forum, who think this place is great and come here daily. I created this forum with the hope that we'd get to sometimes interact directly with people involved in the Buffy comic. It wasn't a bad question at all, but you could have PM'd me (site owner). I would have said the same thing as Scott. We try very hard to put this info out there for everyone, all fans...not just ones on here. And, we do reach out all the time to people involved in this, so we have a familiar-ness with them too. Hope that helps, we're actually a nice bunch! Anyway let's just leave it at that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the clarification on that Scott! PLEASE do not go with 'Five by Five', that was already an episode title in Angel Season 1. I suggest: ' Vampires on High' or maybe ' Us Against the World'.

Here is another simple question, did Buffy return to present day with her Scythe in tow? It didn't seem like she had it after Willow pulled her back to the 'now'...might just be me being scared for nothing. Can you tell us if Giles will play a bigger role in this season than he is currently? (even a simple 'yes' can spark so much speculation!) Thanks Scott! <----little Xander smiley by the way.

Can you please clear up Dark Willow's plan in Time of Your Life? Was it just to die? Was there more? Or are we not supposed to know what it was yet?

Hey Scxot,
Looking down the road a ways, am I correct in that season 8 will not end until approx July-Aug 2010? And if that is the case and you begin season 9, do you think you'll have it finished before the world ends in Dec 2012?? You don't have to answer that second part. And thank you for Buffy season 8, this fan appreciates it very much!
