Is this for real? Sounds very end of Austin Powers movie to me.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Brian was serious. I've never seen Austin Powers. :D I think it could come off kind a cute. Spike also gets a free car for saving the world... and some endorsement deals.

It reminds me of some strange cross between the X-Files episode "Hollywood A.D." and the meta or the re-imagining of Battlestar Gallactica when they changed Starbuck from a man into Apollo's female love interest. :)

I think this could be quite funny.

Funny enough, I think one of the Buffyfest people mentioned that in the interview (I'm not sure because the sound quality was poor).

Um - does this count as Spangel by proxy?

:is completely confuzzled:

Yes, and in #17 we learn that Spike and Angel bought cellphones and exchanged numbers. Spike's ringtone for Angel is "The Girl From Ipanema." BL said that in the director's cut of the issue for the trade paperback, he may have to actually have to draw the scene where they exchanged digits. *Quagmire voice* Awwwwll right. XD

Actually, one of the Buffyfest people said to him, "Joss did say that Angel always needs a blonde in his life." Brian agreed that that's Spike. :D Angel's going to be appearing a lot in the Spike series, so we'll see where it goes.

I don't mind the Spangel stuff one bit. Angel can be in Spike's comic as much as he likes. But I've read all of what you said about part 2 of the Buffyfest interview on CDS now and I can't believe he thinks he can change people's minds about Spider. It's like he didn't read his own comic.

First he wrote her as a bimbo in a thong, then as probably evil. Then, like you said, as serially sexually assaulting Spike in prison.

Oh god, no. Not Spider. Kill her! Please! Just let it go, Brian. Let it go, man. Back away from the Spider slowly.

Now this sounds like fanfic. Hehe, so what's theme of this story? Gay/transgender-by-proxy sex is hot?

Wait, this was supposed to be on Buffyfest's Blog interview? 'Cause I really don't remember listening to that part.

fenderlove February 11 2009, 22:41:32 UTC

It's from part 2 of the interview. Just released today.

angearia February 11 2009, 22:43:26 UTC

Gotcha. Haven't listened to that yet.

ms_scarletibis February 11 2009, 22:46:40 UTC

Spangel? Oh, thank god!

This feels a bit like...TGiQ silliness for some reason, which makes me more anxious/excited to read it :D

fenderlove February 11 2009, 23:18:27 UTC

I think it will be cute. I can't wait to see how Franco draws it.

cozzybob February 12 2009, 00:08:33 UTC

Ooooooooooooh!! This is gonna be good! *gets slasher gloves on* :D
