You know, I really think if the Mayor weren't evil, he'd be a good father-figure for Faith!

I also really respect him for turning down Faith's flirting attempt. For all that he's evil, at least he takes no interest in underage girls.

He's an interesting villain. He's a genuinely pleasant, affable man... even though he's making deals with demons and trying to ascend to a higher state of being for ambiguous but surely nefarious purposes.

Willow Rosenberg is stranded from her universe in a world that is utterly boring, she has a doppelganger who wears her face, vampires have fallen to the bottom of the food chain and there's a decidedly not dead Slayer still in Sunnydale. But worst of all there's this annoying blonde vampire who won't leave her alone.

Started this back in like January, got 95% done and decided I hated it. As part of finish my wips month I opened it up finished it and edited it to the point I was happy with it.

[GIF description: GIFs from the episode "Doppelgangland" of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the first GIF, Vampire Willow has a hand on regular Willow's shoulder, checking her out discerningly. In the second and third GIFs, Willow is saying to Buffy, "I'm so evil and skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay."]

That's me as a vampire?

Dirty Girls

So the conclusion I've come to is... in my own fanfic writing projects, I sometimes have works that I know are very good and are received well. And there are some that I know just stink, and the lower interaction reflects it. It's pretty comforting to know that for professional writers, the same thing is true.

Jane Espenson, for instance, beloved by Spuffies everywhere for being our man on the inside, ALSO co-wrote "Gingerbread," my least favorite ep ever.

Douglas Petrie is, in my opinion, absolutely an undercover Spuffy, or at least understood the assignment well enough to fake it. And I love him for being the first to write Wesley, for breaking Bangel up one of the times in S3, for writing "Fool for Love," for strengthening Spike's character in every ep that included him.

And David Fury... look, I know he gets a lot of flack, but I think he doesn't actually hate Spike as much as it seems. Looking at his list of episodes and the messages I know to be in them, I think he's just VERY pro-soul, and can't wrap his head around a vampire being good without one. But once Spike does get his soul... well, we need look no further than "Showtime."

But really, let's all bow down to Rebecca Rand Kirshner. For "Out of My Mind." For "Tabula Rasa." For "Help." For "Touched." For some of the sweetest Spuffy moments in all her other eps.
