A Stupid Buffy Fan Meme...to amuse myself

shadowkatYou know, or rather you really don't know because I haven't told you yet so how could you possibly know? That phrase does not logically work, does it? Anyhow..I think I'd have done better with the whole fanfic writing thing if I could get up the guts to ask people online that I don't know very well to beta. Oh I sort of did at one stage - I had people online beta a novel I'd written - there was this guy in Wales, named celebrex or celebrain who was doing it - his best line, which makes me laugh to this day was - "all men have chest hair, the ones who don't - wax. A lot." It made me laugh, because my brother and father have very little chest hair. But I chose not to fight with him on it. Sort of like the line my Dad's editor threw at him once - "your women characters are too tall. there are not that many women who are 5'9 to 6 foot with long legs. Average height is 5'3-5'6." This boggled my father's mind since his sisters, wife, me, and mother had all been 5'8 and taller. We write what we know, unfortunately if that conflicts with what other people know, our information is considered suspect or inaccurate. Anyhow, something tells me if I'd started with fanfic and not with my own original novel - this whole beta thing would have gone a lot better.
Buffy fan meme...because I am grumpy and feel like entertaining myself doing this instead of watching tv or reading.

Favorite Season? Season 5
Favorite story arc: Spike and Buffy
Favorite villian: The Mayor
Favorite character arc: Spike
Favorite songs: Lucky (from Harsh Light of Day), Goodbye to You (Tabula Rasa), Pavolov's Bell (Sleeper), Out of this World (Dead Things), Transylvanian Concubine (Surprise), and Key (Crush)
Favorite Whedon written songs: Blue (Conversations with Dead People), Rest in Peace,
and Walk Through Fire.
Favorite characters: Spike, Buffy, Willow,
(Actually I think these may well be my favorite fictional characters period.)
Favorite controversial story arc: Sigh, Spike and Buffy. Although Willow and Dark Magic is a close second. My life in fandom has clearly been a frustrating one because my favorite arcs were many fans most hated ones.
Favorite controversial episode? Hmmm...I'd have to say Lies My Parents Told Me. Because there are parts of Seeing Red that I still have troubles watching, ditto to Dead Things.
Favorite controversial character? Spike
Musical Score - Prefer Chosen over Becoming/Season 2 - which I found overly sappy and romantic on repeated viewings. Favorite Sarah McLachlan song? I like the one in Becoming, that line - fit in this sickly skin haunts me to this day.
Favorite Xander moment? The speech he gives to Dawn in Season 7 Potential. And the one he gives to Buffy in The Freshman - where she's his hero. Fell a little in love with Xander in The Freshman.
Favorite Spike moment? The speech he gives at the end of Beneath Me.
Favorite Buffy moment? Tough one. There's too many...I think it may be in Innocence when she fires the Rocket Launcher at Angelus/the Judge/and Drusilla. Love that moment. Also adore
the moment in Checkpoint where she tells off the Council.
Favorite Spike/Buffy moment? the kiss in Intervention
Favorite Willow moment? I owe you knives!!! Hee. That and "OH, I'm all fluffy..."
Favorite Angel moment? In Consequences - his speech to Faith about evil.
Favorite Giles moment? When he confronts Ethan Raine in Halloween
