We also got flames for making Xander a murderer. It was very funny that a *fanfic* could get people riled up enough to do that...
Anybody want to ressurect Tara just to kill her again?! Backlash is fun!!!

Good point! -- Kashmanik, 22:17:29 05/31/03 Sat
Yes everyone, one reader got so enraged they decided to post some rather nasty comments on the Episode Guide. Along the lines of "You made Xander a murderer you sad fucks!" and "You've done more damage to Xander than Joss ever has!" and strangely enough "You're all gay!".
So kudos to Bunny and Wyv for delighting the readers! Still, good to know we're having an impact! :-)

Haha, I love it! But speaking of that... -- Mark, 00:10:45 06/01/03 Sun
Xander eventually WILL find out he didn't kill Amy, right? To me this story is more about exploring his potential for his darkness rather than actually dealing with a murder, so I hope he finds out soon she's really alive.

That's the idea... but I guess that ball's in your court... -- Wyvern, 11:55:33 06/01/03 Sun
Aren't you writing 18? Cos if it isn't covered by Kash and ABM, that would be a good place to resolve some of our issues (if you wanted).
I'm also kind of hoping that someone picks up on the enormity of the temple rising... these are both things I would have liked to explore, but there's only so much space in one episode... On reflection, I think I should have included something about it in the last scene with Giles, but then again, it was the kind of thing that really needed to be discussed by *everyone* and everyone wasn't there...
Anyway, thing is, if it can get people that het up, in a way I guess me and BP did a good job; the real shows brought about debate in much this vein and my personal feeling is that there must be a certain quality to the writing if it can get the reaction "OMG what have you done..." (love the comment about doing more damage to Xander than Joss ever did, which considering the ep was written by two if the C&S's biggest Xander fans is priceless) rather than "oh well, it's just crappy fanfic", then the reader obviously totally bought what we were selling :)
And hey, at least now Xander has an arc *g*

*bashes JSlayerUK over the head with a kitten* -- Linda_Delurked, 17:16:59 06/01/03 Sun
That was bold!!! Okay, I know you were joking, but let's not create backlash for the sake of backlash. That just leads to all kinds of nastiness.
As for Bunnyp and Wyv, you're episode was brilliant, the plot was amazing, the humour stomach achingly good and the dialogue sizzling. Like I said before, my only complaint is that it *totally* upstaged my episode!
I'm not pleased that some people felt the need to bash and can't help wondering if they actually read the second part. Or if they hang out on the board ~at all~ since Bunnyphobia is famous for being the biggest Xander fan there, excepting maybe Ozmandayus.
Glad you both got the masses of praise you deserve. Well done!
