Let's say you won a contest where you get to write your own non-canonical Buffy novel that would be published, what would you write about? details: what specific time in the Buffyverse? what characters? etc.
I'd probably write something about Post-Season 7 Buffy or Post-Season 5 Angel. Or a few more of Buffy's adventures after she gets back from the psyche ward in "Slayer, Interrupted".

hmm... i think i would write something post season 5 during Buffy's death. I would write how the scoobies are dealing with it and how Buffy herself is dealing with it in 'heaven'. Well there would be a new ugly in town to spice things up for the gang.

I would write a novel about Darla, Angelus, Dru, and Spike. It would start when Liam is turned and would end after the Boxer Rebellion. I guess you could say it would be like Angel reflecting back on his life before the series finale of Angel.

I would write a Giles story, including the Ripper days, the Watcher days, and the Sunnydale-Is-a-Hole days.

Boring, but I'd write something that chronicals the First's actions between Buffy's ressurection and Chosen. It'd tie up all the loose ends/plot holes from season 7; detailing the forging of the seal, brainwashing Spike, recruting Caleb and then his travels. It'd shed light on the night of "CWDP" on what happened at the summer's house, and maybe show what Giles and Xander were up to that night too. The book would elaborate on the Guardians and the scythe, highlighting the grudge between them and the first. Don't you think the Guardians are very much the anti-first? Etc. Etc.

There was a fan fiction I read somewhere that had the idea that the Guardians were the Undead Spirits of Former Slayers, but its only FF. Yeah, I would like to no more on The Scythe

I would make mine set during season 3. I would be featured in it, of course. I would end up being a prophetic demon or something.

Honestly?? I'd write a porn based around Willow. LOL. Not really...lol. That's a good question. Even though I'm a writer and I enjoy fanfic (yes, I'm a nerd), I don't think I'd write an actual novel that would be sold to the masses based on the Buffyverse. Mostly b/c I like a lot of non-canon ideals and feel I wouldn't do the verse justice without actually sitting in with the actual show's writer's panels. I would want to know where they were seeing these characters as opposed to how they were portrayed...b/c sometimes, that makes all the difference. What we write may not be what people read and interpret. If that makes sense to others...

I'd probably write about Glory We didn't see anything about Glory/Ben's past.I'd write Ben's childhood,the first time Glory appeared.Like,Ben is in primary school and playing wtih his friends,he suddenly turns into a girl much to horror of his friends A few seconds later,they all forget what happened.

If I were to actually do that, I would have gone along much the same lines as the current Season 8 comic: post-Season 7, following the gang as they train the new Slayers, but I probably would have taken up only a couple months after "Chosen." That's probably why Joss is doing Season 8 instead of me... (plus, there's that whole thing going on where he's the creator and I'm... well, not...)

In that sense, you run the race with books like 'Queen of the Slayers,' which was sadly a not-so-much read.

In that sense, you run the race with books like 'Queen of the Slayers,' which was sadly a not-so-much read. At that, you rate it higher than I do... But, no, I don't really think picking up right at the end of "Chosen" was all that interesting. QotS did that, and attempted to cover way too much ground - zero to apocalypse in xxx pages, so to speak. I like the current Season 8, where some of the structure is already in place. I'd like to find out more of the details of how that structure was put in place, but I expect we'll get some of those details filled in as we go (we've already found out where the funding was coming from.) I probably would have followed Willow and Kennedy, with an occasional "guest shot" from some of the others. (I kinda liked Vi.) Some of what's been going on in the comic - showing much of Andrew's stories to Angel to have been just that, stories, for instance, as well as the Slayer training camps in different locations - are exactly what I would have done with it. Gotta admit, though, there have been some surprise developments.

For Buffy I'd write a GOOD version of how Buffy became the slayer and what it was like foe her, how she felt, seeing her old friends in Hemrey and her burning down the gym full of vamoires would be cool. The TV show mentiosn some of this but it is never fully seen/explanied. I know some bits were taken from the orignial Buffy movie but I'm saying I'd scrap that one and write a good one. The Buffy origins, Pre Sunnydale

I would write about right after Willow wet to England with Giles. It would go back and forth with Willow learing howto control herself, and the gang dealing with Tara dead, and Willow gone.

I guess it would be about Faith and Giles (Season 8). Maybe they got sucked into a dimension where past slayers are sent after they die. And an "Old One" comes and makes all the slayers fight to the death... again. (I know what your thinkin', LAME!)

I would write about a Male slayer and how the gang reacts to it and stuff. I just think it's karma, I mean these girls go through this whole thing and the guys just get to sit around and be normal. I mean these girls go through so much and I just think it's karma. I wrote a fan fic about it, but I would love for a Male Slayer to written.
