i have had a eureka moment

So everyone's freaking out abou the latest reveal in the Buffy comics, and I understand. I really do. Everyone has good reason to be upset and/or excited. Big news! Drama! Etc.!

But. I have come up with a solution to the whole comics situation that I think that we all (at least, almost everyone on my flist who cares about such things) can agree on.

[livejournal.com profile] gryfndor_godess and [livejournal.com profile] coalitiongirl take over the writing of the comics.

Boom.

We're all happy.

Because we can trust them to love the characters and write them as themselves and also not offend any of our feminist sensibilities and provide us with a satisfying story.

Go ahead, agree with me.

I not only agree wholeheartedly - i bow at the altar of your superior wisdom!

*curtsies* What could be better?

[identity profile] norwie2010.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, obviously to first send the current comics team to do some more productive labour for society, then giving the task over to our two heroes? ;-)

I like the way your mind works....

Sounds fine to me. Although even monkeys with typewriters would be preferable...

(Maybe RTD could take over? Then we'd just have to deal with stupid plot holes and half the cast dying. Oh and lots of gay too! \o/)

your icon!

Or the showrunners from Parks and Rec could take over and it becomes a hilarious and heartwarming comedy!

My icon is awesome and Speaks The Truth.

And I'm not sure about comedy... it might be too great a switch? Whedonesque would descend into chaos and carnage as people tried to work out what the Evil Materplan was. ;)

I AGREE GENIUS GIRL PLUS WE CAN COUNT ON A SPUFFY ENDGAME

EXACTLY! WE'D ALL BE SO HAPPY!

AGREED. AGREED X 10000000.
I don't actually read the comics, just keep up with them, but I would read their version of the comics!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, I haven't read any this season, but I like to know what's going on just so I can read the fic!

[identity profile] smells_corrupt.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I side-eye the comics so I'll know what's going on in the fic. There's probably some sort of commentary on canon vs. Comics!canon vs. Fandom in that fact but I lack the energy to find it. :D

[identity profile] coalitiongirl.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
OH YOU. [livejournal.com profile] gryfndor_godess should write the comics and I'll write the cracky fanfiction on them. AS IT SHOULD BE. :D

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Basically I just want more stories from y'all! :D

[identity profile] diebirchen.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooooooooo! Nifty. I vote yes.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
See? It's unanimous so far!

[identity profile] anviloverheaven.livejournal.com 2012-01-13 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Right!!

Are we forming some kind of raiding party to ensure the 'hand-over' goes as smoothly as possible?

I have a trebuchet in my garage we could use...

[identity profile] slaymesoftly.livejournal.com 2012-01-12 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Works for me! I vote to put them in charge. :)

ha! I had everything figured out and I was very happy in my icons without much drama, precious paper world. I was so good, my mind was intact in my world of fanfics too (well, except my brain damage of the s8, but who cares) And now, I'm so out of me, maybe it's tinkerbell and their eggs, maybe not, but WHO KNOWS.

Anyway, you can read my mind. Both, the great reason why this comic has a good reason to be read and feel the most happy person in the world. And here the gift, delicious narrative, they are intelligent, witty, with the emotional maturity to see a character, to have the courage to go and make them fight their mistakes. To say something! to take a risk! my unhappiness about this comic is inversely proportional to the love I have for both. They are my constant, always.

♥ Our little Spuffy corner of fandom should do a round robin. Or we should do a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' with lots of different versions (one where she keeps the baby, one where she doesn't, one where X is the father, etc.).
