Why is Giles having his texts scanned?

In the eight episode - i, robot ... you, jane - why is Giles having his texts scanned? Jenny makes some comment about an index and a database but Giles hasn't gone near it. Given how much of a Luddite Giles is, the database is obviously not for him. He has no interest in using it at all.

True, though there are OCR programs for non-english text. and as long as a book is in the latin, it should still be searchable. true though that archaic textforms and more obscure languages wouldn't work. Scooby crowdsourced project perhaps?!

As for Jenny & Giles + pants, someone fic it! :P

That really does need to be written. I'm busy prepping for NaNoWriMo.

Maybe someone else will see the idea, cave, and do it :)

It could happen. That's how I got sucked in to writing Giles as the big bad of season 1 (story planning currently in process and probably on-hold during November).

Hold up hold up hold up!

I asked for prompts and NO ONE said "Jenny & Giles + Pants - Go!"?

Right then. I kinda wanna play with that. Though, I can't promise it'll be anything less than crack, because I'm cool like that.

Um, sorry? I obviously wasn't thinking at all.

I think a crack!fic would be awesome. ;-)

I love crack!fic. I love just silliness for no reason. It will have nothing to do with scanning books. It will probably have everything to do with pants. Probably.

*laughs* I honestly didn't expect it to have anything to do with scanning books.

How bad is it that after all those prompts, all those awesome, fandom-shaking prompts, that all I can think about now is "pants"?

I'm totally doing the pants one now.

I'm blaming you.

*points to icon*

I prefer to use the term "seduced" ;)

*laughs* Well, I did volunteer so I can work with seduced.

But I'm not sure what your icon has to do with it.

My icon? oh, Nothing other than *laughing my ass off here*

What? I'm nothing more than an object of humor to you? *pout*

Well, okay, *snicker*

DONE

Think of me as your scary, veiny, fic-giving good fairy.

It is pure crack.

GET OUT

Yu huh! I could NOT resist that prompt.

Think of me as your scary, veiny, fic-giving good fairy.

Works for me!

See, it's like I told you - I'm Anya, making things better for the Fandom's scorned.

I'm glad you specified who you are because "scary, veiny"? I was thinking about to destroy the world Willow.

Yeah, Cordy calls her that in "The Wish", but it's totally not a line that's memorable. I was just being weird - me and

red_satin_doll have this thing going on. I say I'm Anya, getting vengeance for the women Fandom scorns. I'm welcoming Jenny to the vengeance fold.

Ah, Cordy calls Anya that? Yeah, I don't quite recall it.

So if Jenny is in the vengeance fold you're not gonna, oh I don't know ... come after me if I sorta kill her in my story, um are you?

I won't come after you... Probably. Depends if it's a slow day or not.

I'm thinking of an afterlife fic with her starring, anyway. So maybe there's fictional life after fictional death?

I forgot Cordy calls Anya that! (Doesn't Xander say that in Grave?)

Anyhoo...I'm just surprised it's taken anyone this long to take up the cause so - yay!

Jenny as a Vengeance demon - I like that better than the First using her face without her consent.

Speaking of scorned women - why are there thousands of Spike & Dawn fics but almost ZERO Tara & Dawn fics? (Or even Buffy & Dawn fics?)

Just sayin'

Yeah, he calls her "scary, veiny Willow". Boy, they do like to recycle lines, don't they?

Jenny as a vengeance demon would be interesting - but what would she be? We'd have to come up with a niche.

And you're trying to sneak the prompts in now, aren't you? I wish my Dawn voice wasn't so awful - I really have to work on her. I think it goes back to the shippy thing - it's more likely to get readers if it has a m/f dynamic a lot of the time, whether it's shippy or not. Then again, it could just be because Spike gets a lot more fandom love in general.
