I actually like the B/K fics, too, despite my known hostility 
towards Kennedy.  My gripe with Kenn isn't actually about her 
character so much as it is about her being one of the Riley Finns of 
Season 7 (The other being Wood).  While I loved Season 7, and see 
it, overall, as the ideal wrap up for the series, taking the 
previous six seasons and making the series into one big story, I 
think Joss made a mistake wasting so much time trying to set up 
spinoffs without checking with the actresses to see if they were 
interested, first (First Aly, then Eliza), not even telling his cast 
the series was ending since he just assumed they'd go along with a 
spinoff.  

I was far more interested in Willow's and Faith's relationships with 
the core group than I was in watching them shag newcomers.  Those 
relationships, especially with Buffy, got almost no screen time 
because of Kennedy and Wood.  If Joss had checked with Aly before 
trying to set up the spinoff, he'd have known she didn't want to do 
a Willow series, that she just wanted to do Buffy the Vampire 
Slayer, and therefore there was no need to give Willow a Buffy 
substitute.

And, I'm sure Willow just wanted to do Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 
too.  Um, in a different way than Aly...  :)
