I came to be a BtVS fan after the series had ended in a kind of backwards way - enjoyed DB in Bones and Christian Kane in Leverage, found them both on ANGEL and I actually watched the entire Angel series before I ever watched any BtVS.  Once I did watch all the BtVS DVD's I was a Spike fan all the way. 

I tried to read the comics, but I apparently have some sort of 'comic dyslexia' because they were confusing to me (I couldn't tell who was talking half the time or who they were talking to), They gave me a headache to try and figure out. And, the parts that I did manage to suss out, I didn't like, so I stopped. Therefore, comics, for me, are not 'canon' -- I have very little knowledge of them, so my 'canon' stops with what was actually on TV, including Angel the Series.

Most of my stories are full of angst, my muse loves to make me cry.  I like long stories / series, so that's mostly what you'll find. I try to make sure I have an ending for a story before I start posting, so nothing is left unfinished. 

I also love metaphors and ellipses, and you will find them sprinkled liberally throughout. I dislike Riley, so if he shows up, you can be sure no good will come from that -- he could get hurt ... badly. Fair warning: I will kill main, cherished characters off at times to draw the most tears possible from myself and readers alike.
