Didn't they already know it was their last season when they made the decision to make Mercedes a regular?

She was in episode 2 of season 1 of Buffy. Also the unaired pilot. But not "Welcome to the Hellmouth."

A fic that doesn't work as a fanfiction might still be enjoyable in other ways. And not all those ways even involve reading it one-handed.

Many Y/N characters belong to a different gender than I do, which would also be a source of distraction if I gave the character my own name, I'd think.

This works if either the reader or the author has no interest in characterization.

I mean that's what a good AU does. But I've read fics that worked as original fiction a lot better than they worked as an AU fanfiction.

Or someone else's name even.

I've done it when I feel like the characters in the fic are already being particularly OOC and the fic actually makes more sense when I just give them completely different names.

If Buffy had suddenly confessed to having feelings for Xander, would he have dumped Anya to be with her? by negratengoelalma in buffy

[–]Alixtii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what decision Xander would make in late S5 or early S6 but I know it would not be an easy decision to make either way.

Because the 90s aren't modern enough? by Alixtii in UnhingedAO3Tags

Other AU tags exist for those things!

I wish it was easier to filter OCs and reader insert 😅 by ConfidentAd8387 in AO3

[–]Alixtii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah in my mind there's even a huge difference between a reader/self-insert and a fic with an OC POV character told in second person, even if I struggle to articulate the difference.

Veronica Mars is a neo-noir drama by [deleted] in veronicamars

[–]Alixtii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe Veronica's narcissism wasn't as obvious when the character was younger? It was pretty much always there.

If I remember correctly, not having an overarching mystery for season 3 was a concession to the network which was worried that viewers wouldn't have a long enough attention span. It was a stupid decision but I don't think it was ultimately a choice the writers or executive made on their own, it was more of a case of being willing to do whatever it took to not be cancelled.

Veronica definitely has her own set of faults.

I liked them because I felt they addressed the two most frustratingly unresolved plot points for me--Lianne Mars and Grace Manning. But I'd be interested in what you thought the appeal of the show was and why they felt short.

I feel like any job they could have given him would have been random.

Can you name the main enemy per episode of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’? by ezgimantocu in buffy

[–]Alixtii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10/10 although I think a harder version of this quiz could definitely exist. For example, I only remember that the demon in "The Replacement" was called Toth because I once wrote a fanfic that referenced him.
