Spoilers for BtVS comics, but the library is pretty far behind the curve so if you're following the comics at all you already know anything I'm about to mention.

So Season 9 of Spike and S9, Volume 4 of Buffy came into the library.
Spike: I'd forgotten about the spaceship run by bugs. Honestly, why is that stupidity continuing? I couldn't even bring myself to read it, which after reading Buffy I'm starting to think was a good thing.
Buffy: Really? The tank girl evil Slayer is turning other Slayers into super-powered zompires? Really? Why I didn't stop reading there, I don't know. Even more with the "Really?". Xander is on the side of the evil tank girl Slayer. No. Just no.

Sometimes I toy with the idea of reading the comics. And then something reminds me why I don't.

Thanks for the reminder.

I read s.8 . What a waste of time and money. I've heard people say that s.9 is better. That doesnt sound better. Buffy ended with the destruction of Sunnydale.

I was going to say that S8 was so ridiculously silly that S9 does fare well in comparison, but then I remembered that Andrew moves Buffy's consciousness into the Buffy-bot without telling her. So, no, not all that much better.

I am however enjoying the Angel & Faith comics, as far as the library has of them so far.

What? Why? Is Andrew evil again?

I've heard that A&F is pretty good.

No. I don't remember his exact reasoning but he was trying to keep her safe.

Even though it includes all the Spike, that I can recall, in S8; I still have not read the last five issues of that 'season' of comics. I can count on one hand the number of issues I enjoyed, and probably only enjoyed two story issues.

Though I confess to stealing Satsu; Renee & the concept of the lordly slayer for my own nefarious purposes. Still have write some Renee, but she's had a mention in a fic.

I have written a couple of stories with Renee as a character and have based at least one story on S8.

I still think the comics could be better. I'm enjoying the Angel and Faith comic and I enjoyed Fray so I know he can put out good ones.

Send me the links, I'd like to see how others see her. I have my own views of course, but the contrast would be interesting to say the least.

Thinking of setting up some kind of forum for fans of Buffy, or geeks in general, to display their love of poetry, or interest in writing poetry. Any thoughts?

pm me on that one, as that might be better.

Ray.

Lessons in Geekdom (http://archiveofourown.org/works/659423), a drabble

There's a long and silly title for this one (http://archiveofourown.org/works/657778) and Renee is a minor character in this piece of crackfic.

Sure if you can count a Dr. Who story as an actual story.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm not a big Who fan myself. Although I do think your Dr. Who story is a good story.
