Subject: ORDER OF WRITERS:
Where possible, I've tried to take into account the style of episode you said you'd prefer to write, as well as in some cases, which characters you prefer to write for. If you really feel you can't write well for a certain character, let me know, and I'll try to see if things can be rearranged slightly!
This is a rough outline of the season - I've organised things so that some episodes will be character-centric, or else we run the risk of under-using a character. If your episode has a stated character, that doesn't of course mean that they are the only ones in it, just that they are the focus of the episode - things happen to *them* in it. If the episode does not state a character(s), then it is up to you.
EPISODE ONE: NEIL
* Entire Cast centric
EPISODE TWO: INNER MOPPET
* Xander centric
EPISODE THREE: SAM THE EAGLE
* Traditional MotW episode
* Willow and Spike centric
EPISODE FOUR: FAITHSGUY
* Introduction of Little Bad
* Buffy and Faith centric
EPISODE FIVE: OZMANDAYUS
* Stand-alone ep
* Horror
* Dawn, Spike, and Xander centric
* Guest star appearance
EPISODE SIX: CRUMPET
* Drama
* Buffy and Giles centric
EPISODE SEVEN: BUNNYPHOBIA
* Comedy/Angst
* Light-hearted episode
* Anya centric
EPISODE EIGHT: SGT. ROCK
* Introduction of the Big Bad
* Drama/Horror
* Willow centric
EPISODE NINE: WYVERN
* Humour and Angst
* Dawn, Andrew and Kennedy centric
EPISODE TEN: MARK
* Big Bad Arc
* Giles centric
EPISODE ELEVEN: MARZIPAN
* Drama
* Xander centric
* Guest star appearance
EPISODE TWELVE: THAT ONE GUY
* Faith and Dawn centric
EPISODE THIRTEEN: SPIKE'S BIRD
* Part one of two-parter
* Big Bad Arc
* Entire cast centric
EPISODE FOURTEEN: ANYAS_BUTT_MONKEY
* Part two of two-parter
* Major Trauma
* Major season turning point
* Anya and Faith centric
EPISODE FIFTEEN: IMISSTARA
* Giles and Andrew centric
* Light comedy and Drama
EPISODE SIXTEEN: MERRICK981
* Buffy, Willow and Xander centric
EPISODE SEVENTEEN: IT'S A YAM SHAM
* Entire cast centric
* Comedy, turning to tragedy
* Documentary idea pitched by I.A.Y.S. (Could you explain this to other writers in a new thread?)
* Guest star appearances
* Major event at end of episode kicks off final story arc
EPISODE EIGHTEEN: BEN/BENNY
* Action-packed episode
* Big Bad becomes major threat
* Anya centric
EPISODE NINETEEN: JSLAYERUK
* Arc build-up
* Betrayal of Scoobies by someone
* Guest star appearance
* Death of an ally (not one of the core characters)
EPISODE TWENTY: PETER WIGGIN
* Final arc build-up
* Major revelation about the Big Bad
EPISODE TWENTY-ONE: LINDA_DELURKED
* Finale build-up
* Angst
EPISODE TWENTY-TWO: to be decided!
Whichever two episode writers get the best reviews and comments on the Cross and Stake will co-write the finale together. :-)
Remember, any major problems, get in touch through email so we can discuss properly.

Thanks Kashy -- Faithsguy, 13:08:07 02/19/03 Wed
I know I said I wanted the finale episode, but I dont think I could be happier with the one you gave me, intoducing the little bad and writing a "buffy and Faith" eppie....YAH!!!!!!

Also..... -- Kashmanik, 13:09:03 02/19/03 Wed
I'd recommend against writing yours until you receive the episode before it, as it may effect your plot. (Can't have Kennedy losing an arm in ep 10, only for her to have miraculously grown it back in ep 11!)
The way we'll organise things is that Neil will complete his episode, then email it to me (that's another bonus for you writers, you don't have to bother doing editing, spell/gramma check etc., I'll take care of it for you.) I'll check it over, email a copy to Inner Moppet, and post Neil's episode on this board for the rest of the writers to see.
I still haven't received word from AnGeL X about whether we can post it over there or not.... but posting there won't start for a while anyway, at least until we've got a few eps in the can, and until I've worked out a schedule with AnGeL X.

Works for me :) -- Wyvern, 16:57:34 02/19/03 Wed
I don't really have a handle on Kennedy yet, but I'm sure I'll develop one soon - and as it happens, I do have a few ideas for her future brewing, depending on the arc we end up with!
It'll be fun.

Already got a few ideas to start the season but... -- Neil, 01:01:29 02/20/03 Thu
I have a few questions:
1/Are we writing the season eight before or after season 7 finishes?
If we are writing before season 7 ends we need to agree on an ending for season 7 so I can carry on from that.
2/I need to know what the big bad is?, I know it won't feature in my episode but I would like to hint at it!
3/Could I have confirmation on whether there will be any ships especially Xander/Anya!
4/Also I'd like one guest star if possible: Joyce (dream sequence)

No ships, I'm afraid, unless they're currently in play. -- Kashmanik, 01:05:04 02/20/03 Thu
So that just leaves Willow/Kennedy.
Any other ships and things won't work out. One person could write a very pro-Spuffy episode, and the next person could have them rowing just because they don't like it. And we ain't gonna descend into that kinda thing!
We're starting writing pretty much now. So yes, a S7 ending needs to be decided on.

O.K. no Xander and Anya, just.... -- Neil, 01:18:52 02/20/03 Thu
let me know what's decided on for season 7 ending.
I need the story arc of the first evil to be resolved in season 7 finale and everyone to be in sunnydale including Giles and Faith.

NEIL YES!!!! GILES AND FAITH....they need to stay!! -- Faithsguy, 01:20:09 02/20/03 Thu
I need them for my story...sorry I'm getting excited, we are starting to agree!!!!!

I just meant I don't want Giles wandering around over here in the U.K.! -- Neil, 01:25:33 02/20/03 Thu
Like has was with Willow in season 7 opener. I need all the characters to be together in sunnydale. Possibly all at Buffy's house or thereabouts!
Also I'm writng the SIT out of the story too as they just don't figure in my story! They will not even feature in my episode and will only be mentioned by one of the SG.
Only Kennedy will remain because of getting together with Willow.

Can't we have xander and anya back together -- Sam the Eagle, 01:25:01 02/20/03 Thu

But see thats why I think Kash is right that ships don't work -- Imisstara, 01:33:13 02/20/03 Thu
I personally think Anya and Xander should not get together under any circumstances. They need to move on. It's just personal opinion, you know? And writing this season isn't about having the writers and readers debate about ships. We need to stay away from them because no one will EVER agree.

true -- Sam the Eagle, 01:37:19 02/20/03 Thu
I guess I'm just a true romantic at heart and would like to see these people happy in their lives.

Yeah I get that -- Imisstara, 01:45:21 02/20/03 Thu
But like I'm a Spanya, Tara/Willow and Buffy/Angel shipper at heart so we all have different opinions. I think we just kinda have to put our own personal things aside for the good of the team lol. like buffy would!

I am a just a little worried though -- Sam the Eagle, 02:00:31 02/20/03 Thu
I jsut kinda think that it might seem a bit empty without relationships. I always kinda thought that the characters all got their strengths and weaknesses, their motivation to fight and their reason to live from their relationships.
I mean without love what makes the characters go.
Without angst what keeps them attracted.
Just ignore this. I don't know what I'm on about.

I agree... kinda -- Sgt. Rock, 02:10:18 02/20/03 Thu
'ships have always formed a part of the show, more so in recent years but they've always been there. They shouldn't be included just because the writer wants to see the characters together, but yf someone comes up with a really good idea that involves 'ships it shouldn't just be turned down.
I think that while people love their ships they can see a good idea when it's put in front of them, and if the majority of people agree to it then it should be allowed.

Good point -- imisstara, 02:17:36 02/20/03 Thu
But it has to be important to the storyline. I just don't want to have someone say, "Let's put Anya and Xander together because I love them!" or "I always wanted Andrew and Dawn together! So let's do it!" It has to be integral to the main arc. Personally I think if we want to make ships we should bring in new characters. Like bring in a new guy for Buffy, a new girl for Xander, etc.

In Seaosn 8 we should be getting a Halloween ep. Does that mean that Crumpet's ep should be a halloween one too?

Good thought, but we should probably just leave it up to the writer -- imisstara, 05:26:08 03/02/03 Sun
