Seven Pieces of Meta on Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Stormwreath

[kerkevik.livejournal.com]

Hi,

      (edited om Saturday afternoon) as has been kindly been pointed out one of these is in fact by another author. See if you can find it :-) Big clue (mostly to self), it's under a different name...)

 

      well you know how some of us are fanboys over actors (James Marsters; David Boreanz; Christian Kane; Gerard Depardieu; Toshiro Mifune...); actresses; (Louise Brooks; Greta Garbo; Amber Benson; Honor Blackman; Judi Dench...), etc... etc... etc...

 

   Well, I have a fanboyish attraction to the meta written by stormwreath  I find his meta fascinating, whatever opinions I may hold (we certainly don't agree about everything), but he holds your attention; gives you thoroughly entertaining; interesting, and well-thought out arguments.

 

   These are seven, in honour of the seven seasons of the show, pieces of meta on the show that brought me full speed into online fandom (it was another woman, Kerry Weaver - from ER - that got me online in the first place).

 

   Hope you will take the time to read.

While I'm flattered, you do realize I'm not stormwreath, right?

OOPS!

:-) Guess I was in a bigger rush than I thought, huh? Well, at least it's a compliment to your meta that I must've slipped it into my Stormwreath file by mistake.

Will go away & blush furiously now...

Thanks for the recs, and the generous words. :)

But you gave away my secret identity as shadowkat67... oh wait no, she's already posted to claim her own meta... for what it's worth, my favourite of my own metas on S8 would probably be this http://stormwreath.livejournal.com/102996.html.

Ahem, yes... my clerical error :-) Just read your piece and, yes, even thought I am definitely not a fan of the comics, and certainly don't see them as canon, that piece would have been worthy of inclusion on the list.

My apologies for the mix-up, and I look forward to more thoughtful reading in the future.
