I havn't given much thought to this; I can't really
bring myself to write any S6 fic :) Maybe sometime. 
But I do have a few ideas about starting it off:

1. The breaking of the Urn needs to have some effect
on Buffy's ressurection. It seems to have been pretty
much ignored.

2. Is is just me, or did Sunnydale go from totally
trashed and burning to all nice and fixed up in a very
short amount of time? I think at least an "episode"
or two should include the Sunnydale looted by the
demon gang being slowly rebuilt -- and maybe a few
people could even be shocked out of the "nothing's
wrong" mindset that pervades the town?

3. Maybe I'm just a sucker for arc storylines (and
demonic baddies), but I have this nagging idea that
the demon/entity that came along with Buffy when she
was brought back should be a subject not for an
episode but for the season - IOW, it should be a major
consequence of her being brought back (and possibly of
the spell being interrupted?)

4. I'm highly conflicted about Willow's Fall. One
part of me is drawn to angsty and dark storylines; the
other feels that Willow's innocence is a vital part of
the show. If you could preserve both of those
alongside each other, it would be fantastic. And I
think that's possible.

The way I see Willow's problem with magic is not as
evil or drug addiction. I look back to Something
Blue, and she wants the pain to go away, wants
something to take it away; but she refuses to believe
that such a thing takes time. That's how I think her
Fall storyline should have been done. Remember: the
dark side is "easier," and that's part of why it's so
seductive. In a way, Willow is almost child-like in
reaching for whatever magics will bring her desires.

And since the whole season is about "growing up," this
all would have fit perfectly.

But *no*, they had to make it all about Don't Do
Drugs, Kiddies, with a small side helping of I Wanna
Be Bad.

Oh well.

I remain,

Jason Rune
