debsliverlovers. Prices have just been dropped on two of the original drawings. Everything by him there is still a steal. If you haven't visited the auction recently you should.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
shadesong.I always feel bad because I don't tend to take on comics in any of my pop-culture work, and the D*C academic track is rightfully wanting comics content. There is a whole comics component to the Death Stuff (in large part thanks to Wendy Pini's awesomeness at Gallifrey, who gave me multiple places to start), so I could totally submit on that, but it's A Lot of Work, that I possibly don't want to be doing this summer before Patty's off traveling a lot.

Date: 2010-05-21 03:02 pm (UTC)Buffy/Spike is the only thing that made season 6 bearable for me. (I really like the beginning of the season. It's only in the middle-end that I started to hate it.)

Date: 2010-05-21 03:25 pm (UTC)My main problem with S6 is with the Willow storyline. (*hates*) and what happens at the end of the season, which I think ruins a lot of previous emotional punches.

Stop saying you're a feminist. You're not.
Love, all women everywhere.
P.S. That doesn't mean we don't like your tv. Well, except for Dollhouse.

There's lots of Spike/Buffy fic on my old archive website if you're interested (nothing written after 2006, but a lot of the classics are there).

Giles/Anya wasn't so bad.
I like Giles/Anya rather a lot, actually, though I'd never have thought of it prior to "Tabula Rasa." And I think you're right on the retcon.

It seems that me, you, and the whole of the Internet has been super cantankerous over the last few days.
Yeah. I've opted out and am sitting on the back porch with Buffy and Spike.
Last night on Buffy: "Tabula Rasa." I really, really, love Spike/Buffy.
Oh I am SO looking forward to seeing what you think of the rest of the season, partly because I am a Spuffy shipper who fell for Jack/Ianto, when I thought I'd never fall for another 'ship in the same way. I just like my couples messed up... (Spike/Buffy make Jack/Ianto look healthy. No really.)

"Does anyone have any thoughts on anything they'd like me to have a go at at D*C?"
Sure! I'll throw a suggestion out there: something about rebooting in relation to characters (not necessarily character death)? It seems to me like the model for popular US comics, TV series and action heroes is to go through lots of reboots. When either the character or the setting changes too much from the original, the entire thing just gets started over again from scratch. But the Whoniverse seems different because the rebooting is very self-conscious, sort of tongue-in-cheek. I go through periods when I hate rebooting because it just leads to the same story getting told over and over again, but if you love the big character-driven epic type of stuff, the appeal is unavoidable... anyway, that's the type of thing I'd love to hear your analysis on, although there may already be a lot of papers on it that I don't know about.

Also, this article talks about how Paul's civil rights comments when unnoticed by the national media (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100520/pl_ynews/ynews_pl2167_13). An interesting read, if nothing else.

Date: 2010-05-21 08:38 pm (UTC)Wow, that's amazing and wonderful.
Last night on Buffy: "Tabula Rasa."
I enjoyed that episode, but dear gods the season takes an extreme nosedive after that. OTOH, the Buffy/Spike stuff remains interesting, if also on occasion very Joss.
