So, from "No Buffy, no Joss!" to "Stay away from Buffy, Joss!"

What a sad, dark time for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans. This page not only celebrated the Buffyverse, but Joss Whedon's work as a whole - particularly the woman characters he's developed. It's still difficult to believe this is really happening - or that all that's being exposed actually did, during the making of a television show that would touch us in ways other pieces of fiction could've never.

I have yet to find another work of fiction to identify myself as hard as I relate to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I started watching the show about to get into high school and those characters became my friends. It had me into Joss Whedon's other works which I worshiped, Whedon himself became a reason I wanted to be a screenwriter.

We all know now how troublesome a lot of that was. Everything I saw as a teenager, however, was the strong notion that girls could also be powerful.

Also, how it translated metaphors into fantasy... How that show is responsible for everything youth enjoys watching on television to this day. Something that'd be replicated by many writers the industry for many years.

It sucks that it all started with the über jerk.

The fans always knew: Charisma Carpenter's account, which I found here on Tumblr a couple years ago; the perception of that cancerous lack of good representation from which Buffy didn't escape (also a thing throughout Whedon's work); Kai Cole's revealing open letter for which she can now be considered an unsung co-creator of Buffy; and then, what Whedon's done to the characters of Black Widow and Wonder Woman... Enter Ray Fisher.

I do feel terrible and guilty for just ignoring how cynical Whedon's public image always seemed. But there's one thing I'm never feeling guilty for, meaning that my love and greatfulness for its existence will prevail: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A universe that man - thanks, Rao - did not conceive alone. It makes it a lot easier to "separate the art from the artist", and unecessary to reconcile to anything as a fan.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is life, and so it shall remain.

Yes Buffy, no Joss.

Amanda's watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time, Andrea's rewatching it for the umpteenth time, hilarity is sure to ensue.

I’m not sure I’ve shared this before (I must’ve, right?) but this is one of my favourite podcasts out there, and actually the first podcast I ever listened to. Amanda and Andrea discuss an episode of Buffy a week (they’re now halfway through season 7!), and it’s Amanda’s first time watching, even though the show’s 20 years old. Andrea is very careful not to spoil her, so we get her first reactions, and she predicts what will come next each week. So it’s a bit like a reaction video meets discussion medium.

The hosts are great (and Canadian!) and it’s a really nice, generally lighthearted and positive addition to your day, if you’re a Buffy fan and need a fix now the show’s been off the air for so long (or if you, like me, discovered it and the fandom late). Amanda is also an LGBT person which I as a fellow LGBT like, and I think it adds to their discussion of some of the themes and characters within the show, as well as the context.

They also have a Patreon which I support now I can afford to do so, because I really enjoy their stuff and it’s helped me through some hard times and bumps over the last few years. (Feel free to do so too, if you like them and can spare a dollar here and there) Search them up on itunes, that’s generally where I download their podcasts and listen on the move, I’m sure there’s other ways of doing it too depending on what kind of mp3 playing device you have.

This has actually turned into quite a review! Highly recommended, anyway, I’m happy to share along so that other Buffy fans will be able to discover it and find out they enjoy it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This is one of my favorite, if not favorite TV shows of all time. Every few years I go back and binge watch the entire series. So if would make sense that I would be influenced by it in my writing.

Alma is my new comic I'm getting ready to release on Kickstarter. You can go sign up for it now. Alma is a weird combination of Buffy and my Mom. My logline, which is the best one I've ever come up with for a comic, is "What if Buffy was a 72 year old Grandmother?"

Of course, it's not Buffy. It's Alma, a character that isn't Buffy. And there are no watchers. No Giles. Instead there is a companion, Tyrone, a three foot walking, talking garden gnome.

What I'm hoping is to take what I most loved about Buffy and put my own spin on it. And the main influence was the family Buffy created around her, and that's what I'm hoping to build around Alma, a family.

I'm really interested in other Buffy fans and your reaction to the comic. I really hope you will be interested enough to back the comic. It's not Buffy, but it owes a lot of its existence to Buffy. I hope you all give it a chance.

So if you're a Buffy fan, please pass this along, reblog, repost, just tell someone else about it. The best form of advertising is word of mouth. Let's talk about it here.

And if you run some sort of Buffy website or Facebook group or whatever, drop me a DM, and I can get you a pdf of the comic for you to read and if you like it to talk good about it.
