I just don't want to come off as *too* anti-Buffy, as I have friends who still like her and I don't want them to stop talking to me. While my instant emotional reaction to Buffy is one of irritation and disgust, I can intellectually understand why some people like and/or sympathize with her still.
Hee. I rant and rant, but I try to hide it behind LJ-cuts. I'm on the friends list of some amazing, amazing authors who write a Ms. Summers I can appreciate, if not like, and I don't want to shove my Buffy loathing in their faces. I can't even understand how anyone would like her at all at this point, but I do my best to respect the fact that others do. I know I don't want to be like some of the people on the mailing lists who swoop in and turn every positive thread into a negative one, that's for sure.
Forgot one thing about the stories... if you hadn't already planned to, could you list them under "Illyria" rather than my real name? My grandparents are learning to Google, and I doubt they'd be thrilled to find that their little darling granddaughter is writing demon porn.
