Oooh! Good one!

There was a Tales of the Vampyres comic story in which a slayer kills a vampire she thinks is preying on an old, sick man. But then the old man says, "He was my father." I like stories wherein the vamps are shown to be complex people. I wish we'd seen more of Lawson, as seemed to have a lot of philosophical angst.

For me, one of the true attractions of the Buffy and Angel 'verses is that almost everybody who walks across the screen can have a story told about them. They're that interesting. I love the minor characters (and their families).

Ooh, that hurts. Complex and sad without being sentimental. I very much like.

I love to write about the minor characters.

Sniffle.

It's sad, the families that vampires leave behind. 8 [

A hero's sacrifice costs a lot, to a lot of people. 8 [
