Huh. SmartPop Books has put Sherilyn Kenyon's
The Search for Spike's Balls essay up on their website, which has the distinction of being one of my personal most-loathed essays ever written about the Buffyverse. True story: whenever I'm asked at work to recommend vampire romances to customers (this comes up more often than you might think), I always, always purposely avoid recommending Kenyon solely because of this essay. I'm certain this has no effect on her sales, but it gives me a certain amount of spiteful satisfaction.
