I'm new to this site, and relatively new to the world of Buffy fanaticism. So I thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Phoebe, I'm 24 years old and I live in Australia with my son Jet.
I used to watch Buffy back when it was on TV, but only up to about season five, when I was too busy with finishing high school, and then after high school I moved to Thailand, where there was no Buffy. Also Dawn kind of annoyed me at first, and I heard that Buffy had died and come back to life, and I thought the show might have jumped the shark a bit.
But last year after my son was born, I found myself spending a lot of time sitting around the house doing nothing very much, so I bought season one of Buffy on DVD, and got totally addicted all over again, then I bought ALL of the Buffy and Angel DVDs, and when I'd finished watching them, I wanted to talk about the show all the time. Unfortnately none of my friends are Buffy fans, so I found this site so I would have people to talk and obsess about it with.
Buffy, or more specifically the writing on Buffy, also inspired me to switch my uni degree from professional writing and editing, to media communications, so I can focus on screenwriting. I don't watch much television, but Buffy has showed me that television can be well written.
I couldn't pick a favourite episode, I like too many for such different reasons. But I can tell you that my favourite characters are Anya and Andrew, because they're so funny, and Spike and Oz because I think they're cool and sexy. My favourite character on Angel was definately Doyle. Don't know why, I just liked him.
And as for the invisibility gun question, I would definately use it on Kennedy and Conner.
So... I think that's about it. _________________ some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose
Hi insaneinthebasement! I'm really glad you found us, welcome! Hope you have fun here.
That's really awesome that you changed your uni course because of Buffy - part of my course is also to do with media and I want to get into screenwriting eventually too! I agree that Buffy is one of the landmarks in TV, it definitely showed me how up to par tv writing can be.
What part of Australia are you from? I've always wanted to visit there in general, it looks gorgeous. And I love your son's name!
But yeah, enjoy your stay :-) _________________ "Your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives - I dare you to do better."
Thanks greengirl100 and Wynter.
I'm from south east Australia, near Melbourne. It's ok here, kinda boring at the moment, going into winter and all, but Melbourne's really great.
I hope you're right that changing my course is awesome, and doesn't turn turn out to be a really bad idea :-) But I think it'll be good.
Thanks for the welcome. _________________ some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose

Channel 10 seems like an awesome channel - they show Supernatural too, and have awesome promos for it, huh?
I know that's random, but Supernatural is my latest obsession, so go figure :-P _________________ "Your father was captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives - I dare you to do better."

Hey!
I'm new (but you probably guessed that...) but I've been a Buffy addict for a couple of years. My favourite episodes are Fool For Love, Passion, Conversations With Dead People, Grave, Lovers' Walk... the list could probably go on for much longer! I would want to make Riley invisible. Kennedy bugs me but she's important to the whole buffy-getting-kicked-out story, so she has to be there, but Riley just seems pointless and really really annoying.
My favorite characters are Willow and Spike because they have the most interesting points of view and they've both been good and bad in a fairly major way. And you gotta love Xander.
Other than Buffy, of course, I like Scrubs, Smallville, Heroes and anime shows. And my favourite author is Stephenie Meyer. _________________ Danger? Ha! I laugh in the face of danger...
Then I hide until it goes away. - Xander
Welcome Drama! I'm S5 in my rewatch and the other night Dawn's Tee shirt said "Little Miss Drama" on it.
I love your Avi.. That was SO funny when Spike did that. My avi usually depicts where I am in my rewatch.. well that sounded lame
I also am a fan of the Twighlight series and SomethingBlue here on the forum is a hurge Stephanie Meyers geek.. again, Welcome
