Greetings,I've been lurking around here for a while, waiting for an opportune moment to say hi. Really, that's what I was doing. Honest. And I've been meaning to write some B/W fic as well, too. But I digress.
I recently dug up an interview with Master Joss... in the Onion, of all places. I think this quote has some relevance to Season 6:
No one's going to go see the story of Othello going to get a peaceful divorce. People want the tragedy. They need things to go wrong, they need the tension. In my characters, there's a core of trust and love that I'm very committed to. These guys would die for each other, and it's very beautiful. But at the same time, you can't keep that safety. Things have to go wrong, bad things have to happen.
(In case you're interested, the full article is in the 6-12 September issue.)I don't think for a moment that Joss is going to ruin things with Willow permanently. Not for more than, oh, a season or so. Everyone's in a tough place emotionally right now (well, except maybe Anya) but once they work it out they'll be the stronger for it.
I think I'm going to go write some fluff now. -- Frost "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." -Mark Twain _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
