buffyfest @buffyfest OK, Good evening everyone! Welcome to tonight's Live Twitter Chat with basically every current writer of the Whedonverse! #BuffyS9Chat
Hello! And Welcome to the #BuffyS9Chat with @andrewchambliss @christosgage @janeEspenson, @drewZachary @victorgischler @jeffparker
We're here Co-Hosting with the wonderful @Buffyfest! #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage So about a month ago this happened #BuffyS9Chat pic.twitter.com/Ykw6GYdFom
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson Time for the Twit-chat with @AndrewChambliss, @Christosgage, @DrewZachary @VictorGischler, @jeffparker and me! #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson And that is @NicholasBrendon, who joined us! [in the pic] #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson Even with his huge success in features, Joss was so eager to dive into talk about the books. Inspiring.

Victor Gischler @VictorGischler I'm the one that looks like I live on beer and chicken wings. *burp* #BuffyS9Chat
buffyfest @buffyfest I guess we'll start: Question for @AndrewChambliss What can you tell us about Xander's rage, which seems to be worsening? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss in #20 we saw how Xander's rage has been building up over a LONG time watching lots of people he cares about get hurt #BuffS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss it's finally bubbling to the surface as rage, but he may redirect that in more active ways for the rest of the arc #BuffS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZacharyThrow some love at @AndrewChambliss - making S9 work so beautifully while still holding down his day job! #buffyS9chat

Kelly C. McLaughlin @hann23 @AndrewChambliss @Christosgage @JaneEspenson Was it planned that Dawn would be affected back when Buffy broke the seed?
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @hann23 @Christosgage @JaneEspenson that was an idea that we came up with at the S9 Buffy writer's summit #BuffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @hann23 @Christosgage @JaneEspenson I think the idea first came from @DrewZachary #BuffyS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @AndrewChambliss @hann23 @Christosgage @JaneEspenson It seemed like a rich way to explore human consequences of losing the seed #buffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @DrewZachary it was a great idea that really brought the consequences of the seed's destruction home for Buffy #BuffyS9chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @AndrewChambliss Was Xander talking about almost killing Angel in S9 Issue 1 when he said “Dawn never needs to know.” #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @SnazzyO Yep, Xander didn't want Dawn to know that he snapped #BuffyS9chat
Ann @annstarrr @JaneEspenson How much input do the TV show actors have into their character's comic plot? #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @annstarrr Little or none. A sweeping story tends to need to be guided from above with Joss-like vision to have coherency. #BuffyS9Chat
Jon DePaolis @jmdepaolis @Christosgage Will Angel and Faith continue in S10 or are both those characters rejoining the main Buffy title? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @jmdepaolis I don't think I can say. There will be a S10 Buffy book. Past that S10 info must be revealed by a drunk @ScottAllie #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @JohnMusiM I'd love to. I don't think Cheeks likes to go out in the daylight much. Hmm. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @JaneEspenson @JohnMusiM There was already a mini-Husbands/Buffy crossover with Andrew's t-shirt, right? #BuffyS9Chat
buffyfest @buffyfest Question for @VictorGischler Our hearts mourn for Sebastian. Please say he will be resurrected as the big bad this season? #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @buffyfest Not sure that's in the cards. But I grew to luv the bugs while writing Spike. A nice surprise. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @buffyfest But if I made people "feel" for Sebastian, then I'm grateful to have done my job. #BuffyS9Chat
buffyfest @buffyfest @VictorGischler We grew to love the bugs too!! Who knew? #SpikesSteampunkBugShipFTW #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @VictorGischler @buffyfest I loved the bugs as well! They make me laugh. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler@JaneEspenson @buffyfest Thanks! I owe you eleven dollars for saying that. #BuffyS9Chat
Ann @annstarrr @Christosgage Elaborate settings are easier to pull off with comics; what's *harder* with comics, from a writing perspective? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @annstarrr Hardest think w/comics is not having live actors so you can't just say "he gives her a look" & know it'll play #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @annstarrr @Christosgage If I can jump in... long talky sitty scenes. Can be great on screen. Rough on the page. #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @JaneEspenson @annstarrr @Christosgage Is that why they're always on rooftops? Make it look interesting? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @JaneEspenson @annstarrr Yes! & the Law & Order "hallway walk & talk" plays great on TV, not so good in the comics #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Mischlings @JaneEspenson @annstarrr LOL you got me with the rooftops. Talky scene? Rooftop! Go take pictures @rebekahisaacs ! #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Mischlings @JaneEspenson @annstarrr @Christosgage always better to put a scene in an interesting, visual location #buffyS9chat
Geoff W @ichigo_x1 @Christosgage Do you have any favorite characters in the Buffyverse that you would have liked to write about? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgag @ichigo_x1 I'd love to write Lorne but the story has to be right. Can't do it just to do it. #BuffyS9Chat
Alex Wright @ShinyAlex @AndrewChambliss Season 8 was very epic and 9 has been more intimate. Will season 10 continue in that vein? #buffys9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @ShinyAlex The goal is to tell stories about characters so I'd say intimate. But it is Buffy so everything's always epic #buffyS9chat
Zac @Mischlings @Christosgage Did preparing to write Angel and Faith involve any interaction with the actors? #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Mischlings I followed @elizadushku on Twitter and I'm sure to her everlasting regret she followed me back. Go Sox! #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @Christosgage @elizadushku Interesting -- they sound so much like the actors that I thought it might've been in there. #BuffyS9chat
Kelly C. McLaughlin @hann23 @AndrewChambliss I really glad to have Xander's flashback to Giles's death. Was that also planned, or did you write it? #buffys9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @hann23 that was always the plan. Look back at S9 #1 and you'll see Xander and Buffy refer to it #BuffyS9chat
Tina Jones @coffeeandtivi @AndrewChambliss Watching OUAT and Rumple is saying "Magic always comes with a price." That is so BTVS to me. Coincidence? #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson Does this mean Doublemeat Palace will be showing up on OUAT?? @coffeeandtivi @AndrewChambliss #buffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @DrewZachary @coffeeandtivi @AndrewChambliss Ooh! Storybrooke could use a new place to eat! #buffyS9Chat
BunnyHearts @BunnyHearts1 @Christosgage Any chance we'll see Vin and Sophie's old detective team days someday? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @BunnyHearts1 I would love to do a Disco Doll Detective Agency story. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @JohnMusiM I adore writing Harmony & Clem also Giles' great-aunts #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @JohnMusiM I love the funny ones - Harmony, Spike, Andrew, Oz's dry humor. But right now I'm loving Billy and Devon most. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @JohnMusiM Personally, Devon surprised me as being fun: I enjoyed finding his humor and his pathos (and his love of nerds). #buffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @JaneEspenson @JohnMusiM I love writing Spike and Andrew in scenes together. Annoyed Spike is fun #BuffyS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Christosgage I love the great aunts! @JohnMusiM #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage@DrewZachary @JohnMusiM Thanks! The great-aunts love you! :) #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @LHJ19 Is that issue 21? One word tease: Resurrection. Too bad you didn't give me 2 words, I could've said if it works. #BuffyS9Chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @ChristosGage Fun use of the Vopol blade in A&F. Alice in Wonderland references more than once. Easter Eggs or a theme? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @SnazzyO I figured a regular old blade couldn't kill Eyghon so easily so, Vorpal. #BuffyS9Chat
BunnyHearts @BunnyHearts1 For those who do it, how difficult is it to shift from TV writing to comics writing? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @BunnyHearts1 For me not much. Some TV writers get too talky in comics. Breaking up action into panels takes practice.
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @BunnyHearts1 You have to do a lot more work on the page for comics. You don't have director, actor, etc making decisions #BuffyS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @BunnyHearts1 I found my 1st exhausting. Writing, directing, cinematography-ing, acting...but you get used to it & it eases up. #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @annstarrr @BunnyHearts1 Usually writers decide what panel dialogue goes in so artist draws proper body language. It can change #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Christosgage @BunnyHearts1 I think @ScottAllie can attest I have, on occasion, flirted with talkiness. #buffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @BunnyHearts1 Comics writing is soooo much harder. More like directing. #BuffyS9Chat
Arielle dela Calzada @Aoftheavenue @Christosgage on a scale of 1-10 how was ur Brit accent when writing the great aunts? :) #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Aoftheavenue LOL ask a Brit. I apologize to all Brits & the Queen for mangling British accents. #BuffyS9Chat
Josh Candia @JoshNexus @Christosgage for a long time comic-reader, it's obvious that you understand the rhythm of a comic book. A&F it's the best. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @JoshNexus Thanks. I've been reading comics obsessively since the Carter administration so I'm glad it stuck! :) #BuffyS9Chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @Christosgage Did either BtVS or AtS ever have an archmage as a character before?I’m not sure what Vail was. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @SnazzyO I'm honestly not sure what specifically an Archmage is, I just liked the way it sounded. #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @Christosgage @SnazzyO One of the writers in the #OUAT room had never heard of a mage! Can you believe it? #BuffyS9Chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @JaneEspenson @Christosgage Did you school them? Please. It's essential genre knowledge. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @JaneEspenson @SnazzyO Y'all gotta have a D&D session (intervention?) in that room ASAP. #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @Christosgage Was it intentional that Lavinia resemble Faith, or am I just crazy? It's gotten me confused in a few scenes... #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Mischlings The Aunts were loosely modeled on Anthony S. Head's daughters who were to play them in the Ripper TV show #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @Christosgage In other words, coincidence and I'm getting confused for no reason. Not the first time that's happened.
Harvey Jacobs @supephone @AndrewChambliss Would you want to write Buffy in season 10 or a different book next season?#BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @supephone not sure who's going to end up writing what… I'm just excited to be anywhere in the Buffyverse! #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @coffeeandtivi Stories will be resolved...and new ones will be incited. So yes, don't you think @AndrewChambliss ? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi There will be a definite conclusion to the season arc, but there will be some cliffhanger-y consequences! #BuffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi Yep, @Christosgage and I just had a big e-mail exchange about some of the fallout from the season #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi Yeah we teamed up on @ScottAllie and got @VictorGischler on our side too LOL...I'm what? FIRED? #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @Christosgage @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi @ScottAllie Yeah, I never heard. Did we win that or am I fired too? #BuffyS9Chat
Megan Anderson @Megan_NerdNest @DarkHorseComics Which issue was your favorite to work on? #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @Megan_NerdNest @DarkHorseComics I've loved most of them, but the one introducing Billy is closest to my heart. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Megan_NerdNest I'm very, very proud of Billy and Devon and getting to bring them in to play. #buffyS9chat
John @JohnMusiM I know it doesn't fit the context of the story, but would you please bring back Mecha-Dawn and Dracula? #BuffyS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @JohnMusiM I'm pretty sure Mecha-Dawn is gonna be busy in Pacific Rim. No? Maybe just in my fan-fic then. #buffyS9chat
Mark Orr @kthxbye08 @JaneEspenson, biggest similarity & difference between the TV writer's room and the comic writer's room? (2 part question!) #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @kthxbye08 In TV there is a room working on every episode. Comics: the room meets only sporadically to work on big arcs. #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @JaneEspenson @kthxbye08 I wonder if other comic series do writers rooms like the Buffyverse books #BuffyS9chat
kostas zomgas @Kostaszomgas Will there be a time in season 9 where all the Scooby Gang that remains gets all together to fight the big bad? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Kostaszomgas the final arc of Buffy is called "The Core"… maybe referring to the Scoobies? Hmmm… #BuffyS9chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @AndrewChambliss The cover of the next issue made my heart leap with JOY to see the Scoobies together. Thank you for that. #BuffyS9Chat
Arielle dela Calzada @Aoftheavenue @Christosgage and more on those darn g-aunts, how did u come up with their names? Nvr heard of them. Name book right lol #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Aoftheavenue Joss came up with their names! Lavinia and Sophronia. Not sure where he got them but I love 'em. #BuffyS9Chat
Arielle dela Calzada @Aoftheavenue @Christosgage guhhh leave it to joss to come up with the most gorgeous names to use :) #BuffyS9chat
Ann @annstarrr @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson @AndrewChambliss What's your all-time favorite #Buffy storyline? #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @annstarrr @DrewZachary @AndrewChambliss Loved the robot arc -- Warren made April, then brought back to make Buffy-bot... Fun! #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @annstarrr @JaneEspenson @AndrewChambliss Huge fan of Angelus. Loved Buffy's mom grappling with Buff as slayer. The 3 nerds. #buffyS9chat
LHJ19 @LHJ19 @JaneEspenson When Buffy and Angel finally interact again.Would you want to write that scene? #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @LHJ19 Hm. I would love to try, but I actually never wrote that much Angel. Others are more qualified. #BuffyS9Chat
Ann @annstarrr @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson @AndrewChambliss Do any of the writers ever read fanfiction from their own shows? #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @annstarrr Honestly, I don't. I love that people are so passionate, but I find it overwhelming.
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @annstarrr Don't get me wrong: I love that people are so creative! But my brain overloads easily @JaneEspenson @AndrewChambliss #buffyS9chat
cheryl abernathy @scittycat @Christosgage Are you aware that if a cross-over with Buffy and Angel does not occur this season, it will be the first time in the series?
Christos Gage @Christosgage @scittycat Think we didn't want to do it because it would've been a really big deal & derailed the ongoing stories. #BuffyS9Chat
cheryl abernathy @scittycat The ongoing season of Angel has rocked the house and you have done an amazing job, would LOVE to see you write Buffy and B/A
Christos Gage @Christosgage @scittycat Thanks! I would love to see @rebekahisaacs draw them #BuffyS9Chat
Mark Orr @kthxbye08 @AndrewChambliss Willow's addiction to magic to be brought up again? I can't tell if she has recovered completely #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @kthxbye08 Willow's definitely in a more confident place re: magic with a better understanding of what it means to her #BuffyS9chat
Lisa Gomez @lisatwingomez @VictorGischler #BuffyS9Chat looking back at the writing process for Spike, how would you describe the feelings you felt while writing it?
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @lisatwingomez Cool. I felt more cool writing Spike than I do when I'm myself. I let the cool person I wantd to be come out. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @scittycat @hann23 @AndrewChambliss No but if you read A&F #21 and 22 you will find out! #BuffyS9Chat
buffyfest @buffyfest Question for @Christosgage Now that the soul business is taken care of, will there be any residual Giles left behind in Angel's nipple?
Christos Gage @Christosgage @buffyfest Thanks, you spoiled my haunted nipple storyline. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @Christosgage @buffyfest There's always the other nipple. #BuffyS9Chat
Boom® @Mr_brooks007 #BuffyS9Chat so could it be that "the biggest betrayal" which was mentioned all the way back in S8 is Xander?
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Mr_brooks007 No the biggest betrayal in S8 was Buffy betraying herself. I believe Joss said so. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @XSFrisby I look up to Spike because he just keeps trying, y'know? #BuffyS9Chat
Lisa Gomez @lisatwingomez @AndrewChambliss #BuffyS9Chat how long does it usually take to write one issue?
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @lisatwingomez I'm always writing between my day job so hard to say. Maybe about a week of solid work time #BuffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @lisatwingomez Handed in scripts once a month with happy breaks thanks to @JaneEspenson @DrewZachary and @ScottAllie #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Kostaszomgas Proudest Season 9 moment for me is 25 issues turned in on time. It was a rough year in many ways. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Kostaszomgas In my VERY limited experience: Buffy telling Billy he belongs. I think there's LOTS in S9 that's pride-worthy.
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Kostaszomgas I'm proud of the Buffy/Spike scene at the end of #6, and I'm super excited about the final arc #BuffyS9chat
Susana Orozco @SusanDelCampo Is there anything that Joss has told you you can absolutely NOT do? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @SusanDelCampo I can no longer come within 50 feet of Joss due to the restraining order. Summit rooms need to be big. #BuffyS9Chat
LHJ19 @LHJ19 @Christosgage Which is tougher.Writing Angel & Faith or Marvel characters? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @LHJ19 A&F were tougher to write at first because I was so petrified. Now they're as much old friends as Spidey. #BuffyS9Chat
Jamie Adams @Mistres5murf #buffys9chat Any chance of a new motion comic? loved it last time! Btw you guys are genius.No one can put in to words how brilliant you are.
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Mistres5murf I wanna know, too!! #buffyS9chat
Tina Jones @coffeeandtivi Is Dawn fading from everyone's memories or just physically and from pictures? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi don't want to give away too much -- keep reading #BuffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @coffeeandtivi This answer will be clear on the page. Hint: it's the more dramatic choice. #BuffyS9Chat
kostas zomgas @Kostaszomgas Which character do you think has grown the most in season 9? #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Kostaszomgas I think Faith has grown the most overall. In season 9, maybe Willow, but Faith has a shot. #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @SusanDelCampo We talk about one season at a time. But Joss's brain... oh, who knows how far ahead it is! #BuffyS9chat
Lisa Gomez @lisatwingomez @Christosgage #BuffyS9Chat if you could describe Spike's and Angel's bromance in one word, what would it be? :P
Christos Gage @Christosgage @lisatwingomez Spike & Angel's relationship in one word? Can't be done. #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Mr_brooks007 big action in the Deeper Well! #BuffyS9chat
Geoff W @ichigo_x1 Tweet was 2 long. Wanted to ask the writers and artists if they were to pick a character from the Buffyverse, who would you be? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @ichigo_x1 I would want to be Lorne because in real life I can't sing. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @ichigo_x1 I'd THINK I'm Angel. Or Riley. But I'm probably ACTUALLY one of those nameless Bronze patrons who runs from the bar. #buffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson I'd be Anya. #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson I mean, I'd be Anya... if @emmacaulfield didn't mind. #buffys9chat
Harvey Jacobs @supephone @JaneEspenson Do you think the Buffy seasons in comics should have a end point?#BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @supephone I think that if an end point presents itself we should pay attention to it. #BuffyS9Chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @AndrewChambliss Xander’s rage seems pretty PTSD. Is that a correct interpretation of what is happening with him? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @SnazzyO You're on the right track. Think about how much he's seen and had to process/not have time to process #buffyS9chat
Kelly C. McLaughlin @hann23 @AndrewChambliss @Christosgage On final arcs, will Angel & Faith & Buffy this season have unified endings? Can you hint?
Christos Gage @Christosgage @hann23 @AndrewChambliss The two endings happen at the same time but do not tie together...except in very subtle ways. #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @hann23 @Christosgage we both waited to write our epilogues until we had talked to find small ways for them to connect #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @AndrewChambliss @hann23 Agreed but also wanted them to stand alone in case people read one book & not the other BUT WHY #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Christosgage @hann23 Wait, you can buy the comics SEPARATELY?! #BuffyS9chat
Kelly C. McLaughlin @hann23 @Christosgage @andrewchambliss no fears, I buy them all. But was kind of hoping for some Gilesness to cross the pond to Cali. #BuffyS9Chat
John @JohnMusiM Any chance of dead characters coming back for a visit? Namely Anya and Wesley? #BuffyS9Chat
Arielle dela Calzada @Aoftheavenue @Christosgage when u have writer's block, what nonsensical sentence do u write just to be ridiculous? #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @Aoftheavenue I don't get writer's block, honestly...writer's block is for rich people, I got bills to pay! #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Christosgage @Aoftheavenue deadlines are the best cure for writer's block #BuffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 Soundtrack suggestions? ELO, Brothers Johnson, Manilow #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 the Drive soundtrack played during lots of my S9 writing sessions #BuffyS9chat
buffyfest @buffyfest @AndrewChambliss @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 Oh Drive soundtrack is goooood #AndARealHero #OffTopic #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @buffyfest @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 great writing music! #BuffyS9chat
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @Christosgage @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 I MUST know what scene you'd match Manilow to (and titles) PLEASE. I need this like air.
Christos Gage @Christosgage @SnazzyO @BunnyHearts1 @zilvis78 Thanks, you made me remember Air Supply. Angel loves Air Supply. #BuffyS9Chat
BunnyHearts @BunnyHearts1 @Christosgage @zilvis78 Who's listening to Manilow? Tell me it's drunk Spike. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @shelbyreann YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. #nopressure #buffyS9chat
Mark Orr @kthxbye08 @JaneEspenson @DrewZachary What storylines would you like to have expanded further in S8 and/or S9? #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @kthxbye08 @DrewZachary I think we'd like to see more Billy, but as a future thing, not as a "we should have" thing. #BuffyS9Chat
Ann @annstarrr You guys are the very very best. Thank you so much for participating! You are as gods. #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @annstarrr We are as gods? We are as gods? #BuffyS9Chat Yay!
Ann @annstarrr @JaneEspenson Totally. All you need now is a trio of toga-clad nerds, a pasture, and a harp. Voila! Seriously, thanks.:)
Christos Gage @Christosgage Highlight of the Season 10 summit may just have been @JaneEspenson 's impression of SNL's Stefon. #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @Christosgage Which is pretty much my impression of @GoCheeksGo's impression of Stefon. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @Christosgage @JaneEspenson The Highlight for me was being in awe of all the talent and Buffy-caring pros. #BuffyS9Chat #Impressed #Rookie
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @VictorGischler @Christosgage @JaneEspenson I liked the goat cheese. Also the people. #buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @DrewZachary @VictorGischler @JaneEspenson THERE WAS GOAT CHEESE? Worst summit ever, I didn't get any. #BuffyS9Chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @Christosgage Well, yeah. 'Cause I ate it all. @VictorGischler @JaneEspenson #buffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @DrewZachary @VictorGischler @Christosgage There was a lot of cheese and grapes. I loved that. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @DrewZachary @VictorGischler @JaneEspenson No 4 real the summit was magic. Better than the S9 one which was magic too. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @Christosgage @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson I wouldn't know. I was the new guy and had to sit in the closet. #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @VictorGischler @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson Come out of the closet, Victor. Rainbow. Pride. #BuffyS9Chat
Victor Gischler @VictorGischler @Christosgage @DrewZachary @JaneEspenson It was more of a "shut up, rookie" closet. Why did you all kick me so much? #BuffyS9Chat
ferbson gladisval @zevirto Is Cordelia Chase still going to have any cameo, vision, glimpse in Angel & Faith? @VictorGischler @buffyfest #BuffyS9Chat
buffyfest @buffyfest @zevirto GOOD QUESTION. We miss Cordelia Chase!! #QueenCInTheHouse #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @buffyfest @zevirto I love the Cordelia/Angel relationship, honestly...I think it evolved in a lovely way. #BuffyS9Chat
ferbson gladisval @zevirto @Christosgage @buffyfest yes, it did, but BUFFY & ANGEL FOREVER. I'm sorry, Joss Whedon and writers #Bangel #Forever #BuffyS9Chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @Kostaszomgas Maybe "Huh. How 'bout that." -- a little time and distance would return her to pragmatic self, perhaps? #BuffyS9Chat
LHJ19 @LHJ19 @AndrewChambliss The Deeper Well where the gang is heading is in the U.K..Spike is currently in the U.K. Anything to that?#buffyS9chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @LHJ19 Good catch. Can't make promises to Spike's location, but I think it's a safe bet to assume he'll be back #buffyS9chat
Tina Jones @coffeeandtivi In season 8, when Buffy reads up on her future there is one thing she calls "too ridiculous". Have we seen it happen yet? #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @coffeeandtivi I think that's still up for grabs. S10 maybe? #buffyS9chat
Drew Z. Greenberg @DrewZachary @shelbyreann Good question. The mission statement: every one of us can be a hero in the story. Even the most unexpected of us. #buffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @DrewZachary @shelbyreann Yes yes yes. You said it perfectly, Drew. #BuffyS9Chat
Shelby @shelbyreann @JaneEspenson @drewzachary that is a very good answer. #BuffyS9Chat
Lisa Gomez @lisatwingomez @AndrewChambliss #BuffyS9Chat how do you keep the character's voices in your head? Do you rewatch some episodes or are they ingrained in you
Christos Gage @Christosgage @lisatwingomez @AndrewChambliss Watch 12 seasons of Buffy & Angel in a few months and it kinda gets in by osmosis. #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @lisatwingomez Definitely rewatch repisodes. Sometimes have them on in the background while writing #BuffyS9chat
kostas zomgas @Kostaszomgas Was wondering, with all this big talented team how do you decide on a single storyline? #BuffyS9chat
Jane Espenson @JaneEspenson @Kostaszomgas Joss was there. #BuffyS9Chat
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Kostaszomgas With Joss, the best idea always wins in the room, no matter who it comes from #BuffyS9chat
Megan Anderson @Megan_NerdNest #BuffyS9Chat What country would you love to see the gang in not yet explored?
SnazzyO @SnazzyO @Christosgage I LOVED the return of Connor. Does Connor have a clue how much risk his Dad took with Gile's soul? #BuffyS9Chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @SnazzyO No I don't think Connor quite knows the risks Angel is taking. #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @SnazzyO @Christosgage I'll just say that you made Connor actually likable and congratulate you. #BuffyS9Chat
LHJ19 @LHJ19 @Christosgage @AndrewChambliss This being Joss.Can we expect someone dying in the finales to the season?#buffyS9chat
Christos Gage @Christosgage @LHJ19 @AndrewChambliss There will be a death. Or two. In the A&F Finale. #BuffyS9Chat
Zac @Mischlings @Christosgage @LHJ19 @AndrewChambliss Now I'm scared, and possibly prepared to be furious. #BuffyS9Chat
Jamie Adams @Mistres5murf stay away from faith 😑
Andrew Chambliss @AndrewChambliss @Mischlings @Christosgage @LHJ19 Possibly the same in Buffy. There have to be consequences to character's actions #BuffyS9chat
