Well, thre's you, and me, and me and you and Brndn and Pat a bunch of other people who will remain
nameless because they didn't say their names or nicks or show up....But don't worry ....We're
here....All looking and judging you as you stand up there....Say, do you have stage fright? Cause if
you don't i can make you have and then we'll have something to talk about : )

Yo, get glasses ....oldies...

VW: This list is no fun....
W: You noticed that too ?

Franklly , i noticed that...of course, i'm not very attentive, but still....I think the whole
Tara/Willow thing is catching up on the regular stuff too(it already spread around the fic field a long
time ago) ...I don't know if anyone noticed but it seems like most of the Buffy/Willow fans were more
interested in femslash in general than in the particular pair....I think that there are quite few who
like them because they're Buffy/Willow...Now it seems pointless to them to wonder about a relationship
that is not on the show when they can talk about one that is right there...Well, that's the way i see it
...

*Jumps up and down * I did, i did....I'm the best ....well, me and my sexy little credit card that will
be full of dollar signs next month....As for the moments...yeah....there were quite a few good
ones...the bed, the drama discussion, history discussion....Quite a few good ones, even more when you
cvonsider that Willow had few scenes so far and that most of them are with Tara, but i'm happy...I'm
loving the season so far , so all is good....

I gotta say the bed one is pretty much a gimme me....How comfy she looks in the bed.... ; )

You know...i imagine that every time....there's no challenge : ) ....

I want that those of you who are capable of making

I got quite a few in my cds...previous seasons....i can try to store them somewhere....they're not the
best quality, but in good hands some good collages can come out of it....

You know, i thought alot about that . I've looked at quite a few episodes from the the first and second
seasons and i really think thaty they should be better explored....I know they're not the best when it
comes to subtext , but if you want to look it's there....The first bepisode, the second season premiere,
the witch, I robot , You jane ( must see for B/W people) ...And even situations that happened in these
episodes that could have turned in what if situations...Like, what if Willow was the vampire, or if
Willow or had joined the swin team or if Buffy was the one that had all the girls chasing her....all
kinds of situation that could be turned into great fics or at least could be a great debate material...I
know it's been quite a long time , but still, we really shoild explere that field.... go to places we
never went before...

The truth is that the whole B/W thing only became real to must people during the fourth season, and even
them there was Tara and Riley in the way....
I may be a little biased when it comes to this, but i think that thje best W/B season was the third
season(which happens to be a favorite) ....That was a season where their relationship was better
displayed....From the way Will was all concerned about Buffy during Anne to the I kinda Love you scene
in Choices this season was just full of W/B goodness...It was not only what they did in front of thge
camera but also what they could be doing behind it, how they took their relationship, friendship, to
that level...Plus, their relationships with Angel and Oz were quite easy to break up...This season is
really worth our attention, and could give us quite a lot to talk about...

See above...

Tell Shadow that she can start by being active ...Tell her that i promise i won't rub it on her face
..much : ) I think she knows what i'm talking about....

Well, I created just so i could get fics, hehe....but still, you're right about the other reasons...
