Illyria: After The Fall? Pretty Please

[pablo]

Brian said in his vodcast that there are actually several ideas for other ATF spin-offs, and the Kate one was one of them.

Since there are still loads of stories to tell about Illyria, are there any chances of getting her own mini-series / one-shot?

I know she's basically going to get her spinoff with Spike ATF since she's the main character along with Spike, but maybe Brian and Joss could develop other stories from the age of the Old Ones, or a future where Illyria and the Fang Gang are out of the hell dimension.

Although I highly suspect Illyria and Spike will make a cameo in the Time of Your Life arc.
That'd be awesome, but the icing on the cake would be Drusilla (but i'm not going to say that out-loud after my issue #7 Cordy disappointment).

Thoughts?

There's no reason. Illyria is going to be side-by-side with Spike in his story. It's going to tell how they got from "First Night" to "Angel: After the Fall." The only Illyria story they could do without spoilering her fate (by going into the future) is something before she took over Fred's body. And that wouldn't really be that interesting.

I agree with patxshand. There really isn't much room to give Illyria her own spin off; especially one featured in Hell-A. We'll have her entire soon enough when Spike: After the Fall kicks off, so that is more or less enough for me. If Illyria is still around after Hell-A is (presumably) saved, then I would of course like to see her character continue on in some way or another, but at this point, I just don't see the room for it.

I really think that if Illyria gets her own book then it will be post "After the Fall". Not really even sure she will get one then.

Illyria: After the Fall wouldn't work out well if Illyria is co-starring in Spike: After the Fall. If she weren't in S:AtF, i'd love for there to be I:AtF, but since she's in S:AtF, I do not want an I:AtF.

Unless there's some big explanations in the remaining issues, the only characters I can see having their own After The Fall stories are Gunn, Kate, Groo, Gwen, & Nina.

Personally:
- Don't give much of a shti about Nina.
- Love Gwen, though I think we'll probably get all we're going to in her First Night story.
- Love Kate. That's a definite tale to be told.
- Wasn't Groo's biggest fan... until Brian Lynch wrote him, so I'd love his ATF.
- And Gunn... I think we'll get some details about how he was turned, but not a whole lot about how he came to be the big bad vamp gang leader. So that's a possibility.
