I've had "Choosing Sisyphus" and "Misery" on my potential archiving list for ages (I figured you were either ignoring me or else you didn't get the email I sent). With your permission I'd love to archive them.
In regards to Spike/Buffy: at this point, I pretty much agree with what you said. It would be horrible for Spike to get together with Buffy in the next few episodes. I do think, though, that if we had another season, and if the writers decided to go with S/B again, they could make it work (although I'd really prefer to see Spike with someone else). If Buffy came out of her shell, stopped being so selfish and cold, and learned to care about and appreciate other people, I think she could be good for Spike. After so many seasons of cold Buffy, it's easy to forget how open, kind, honest, and well-meaning she was in the early seasons. Buffy was never the type of person I'd voluntarily choose to spend time with, but I think she could become much healthier and better to be around.
Of course, in order for that to happen, the writers would have to *recognize* that she has a problem, and sadly I don't see that ever happening. Wasn't it Marti Noxon who said that Buffy doesn't have to apologize for her S6 behavior, because she was being an "empowered woman" or whatever? (*vomits*) I guess basically I don't have any hope for Buffy as written by ME, although there are a few fanfic writers out there who can make her palatable to me again.
