grrrr...

People, please tell me to stop reading random people's reactions to the new S8 comic. I've loved what some of y'all on my flist (and, by extension, some of the people on your flists) have had to say, but there are people justifying evil all over the internet, and I cannot handle it. It just makes me so furious, and I want to engage all of them, and that will lead to my life being sucked away, and I could be doing way more constructive things like writing angsty Spuffy babyfic for seasonal_spuffy and beta-ing for my favorite people.

Tell. Me. To. Stop.

In other, happier news: BUFFY SUMMERS. DONNA NOBLE. TAMI TAYLOR. AERYN SUN. JOAN HOLLOWAY. VERONICA MARS. PARKER. AND OTHER AWESOME WOMEN. DOMINATING FANDOM STEEL CAGE MATCH.

PLUS: MY ICON. YES.

Also, I'm watching Wizards of Waverly Place (yes, I'm lame, but I have a massive girlcrush on Selena Gomez), and OMG SELENA GOMEZ AND DAVID HENRIE. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR ACTORS PLAYING SIBLINGS TO HAVE SO MUCH CHEMISTRY. STOP IT NOOOOOOW. YOU'RE MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE.

As I just said in the BSV forum thread, I think the comics are Joss taking the absolute piss...out of the characters and out of the fans.

For the most part, I try to ignore the comics completely. I don't read them (or any comics, for that matter), so the most I usually do is shake my head at posts on my F'list about the latest madness. I do get quite annoyed, however, when I write a fic and label it Post Chosen or Post NFA and someone pipes up with "I didn't know that happened in the comics" or "but such and such happened in the comics so this can't happen". Grrr!


*sigh* Can't type!

I think the comics are Joss taking the absolute piss...out of the characters and out of the fans. And I find that really horrible. I mean, when Kripke started doing the same thing on Supernatural it was really hilarious. But ridiculously unprofessional and ungrateful.

I can see this being Joss doing that...but I think it's really tacky. And I hope it's not true.

Do people really try to correct you about the comics? That's ridiculous. Keep on writing whatever you want to write! That's what I do!

I think it's terribly ungrateful and tacky too, but I think I prefer to think that he is being an ungrateful arse and taking the piss, than that he is SERIOUS. I mean, really!

Oh, believe me, I intend to keep writing what I want to write. I consider myself a BtVS writer first and foremost, and I will happily ignore AtS canon if I so choose--so the comics don't stand a chance. LOL

This is why, when tagging at still_grrr, I label the seasons as (for instance) B4, B5, B6, B7... and not "B8", but "post-series" and "comics", depending.
