The nice thing about comics though --- unlike movies and tv shows is you can ignore them easier. ;-)
Yep. I'm truly in a schitzophrenic state. My first reaction upon hearing about the Buffy comic was total denial and a refusal to read them or acknowledge their existence. I hadn't realized until that moment how much the fantasy of "writing canon" was figuring into my reasons for writing fanfic.
But of course there's another part of me that craves new story from the storyteller himself. That's the part of me that was crushed when AtS was cancelled. I don't really need new Buffy, seven seasons and "Chosen" was closure enough for me (although I'm always a reader/viewer who asks, "So what happened next?") But new AtS? *whimpers*
