Why didn't anyone tell me?

[cornerofmadness]

sort of volunteered to potentially write back up for something. Realized I don't KNOW anything about Angel: After the Fall. I mean I've heard the flist grumbling (usually unfavorably) about Buffy S8 but nada on Angel S6... so Ih it Wiki

Why didn't anyone say anything about this? Is wiki's write up more exciting than it is? I've always avoided the Buffy/Angel comics since usually the art and stories sort of suck. Nothing anyone said about Buffy 8 made me want to read.

But Angel 6? SPike & Connor working together? How many times did I write that? Connor wanting Gwen, yeah wrote that YEARS ago. I predicted more than a few things so I gues I want to see it

Soooo....if you've read it, let me know your thoughts, good or bad.

Hahaha! Your dragon den is turning into a harem too!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

btw as predicted the silver and gold won't mate

in fact no one is mating except Adao who is my go to male any more (which if you knew the original fic he comes from you'd laugh)

I tried to get into/like the "Angel" tv series but couldn't. Cordelia annoys me horribly and when Angel hooked up with her romantically *shudder* and sexually, I wanted to stab my eyes out with a poker.

I did enjoy the series more when Spike showed up though. Spike is hilarious and is one of my favorite BtVS characters (him and Giles). James Marsters does the best British accent I have ever heard (even better than the Brits themselves!).

I wish Spike had gotten the spinoff instead of Angel...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Ihate Spike in the Angel spinoff. As much as I loved Spike I learned to dislike him very much after S6-7 of Buffy.

As for Angel/cordelia, yes that was horrid

The Angel: After the Fall comic book is great, great, fun!

I can't get into the Buffy comics, and I've tried, but the AtF? It's like trying to eat just one chip. :-)

The storytelling is very good, very suspenseful. Yesterday, I received the latest issue and my heart was breaking...just breaking. (Not gonna spoil it any more than I have...)

It reminds me of the best of all four seasons put together. Amazon is putting out a hard-back edition sometime this fall or next spring...pre-order it and you'll be glad you did.

Here's the link for the AtF discussion community: http://community.livejournal.com/angel6_atf/profile

thanks for the input. I'll look for the bound (I was hoping for that. I'll go check amazon) thanks for the link too.

I'm just looking at the wiki write up going, wow, if I wrote post NFA fic it would look like that (well who are we kidding I have and it does)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

also you can help me with this if I write the story. Wiki tells me LA has been sucked to hell. then goes on to say

Angel travels to Santa Monica to protect Connor Okay Santa Monica IS just outside of LA (as is Beverly HIlls and Silver Lake) so I'm assuming much of the surrounding area went

does anyone from our plane of existence get in and or out? (reason I'm asking is the person wants Buffy characters inserted in) thanks

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

I have to check out the Buffy thing now. I'd enjoy the dvds more if they worked on the darn tv.

What in the world is Baklava? I know it's Greek (maybe a dessert?) but that's about it. Always been curious.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it's layers of phyllo dough (held together by lots and lots of melted butter) then a filling of cinnamon sugar and ground nuts (traditionally walnuts) then more layers of phyllo dough and butter

oh and i forgot topped with honey

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Now I gotta try it even if it sounds like one big mass of cholesterol and sugar.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is
