JM kerfuffle

[doyle]

As usual, I've missed the kerfuffle about what James Marsters said at whatever con it was, but it keeps reminding me of this year's MeCon (a small, local convention I helped run). I chaired the vampires panel with a comic artist called Paul Holden and within about three minutes the discussion became totally about Buffy. Paul H revealed that his fiancee is both a Spuffy and a redemptionist:

PH: (as fiancee, in silly, girly voice) 'Spike wouldn't hurt anybody. Spike's nice. He has lovely hair. I don't think he'd kill anybody.' (as himself) yes he would, because he's a fucking vampire! (Beat, then, pointing at me) And this one's laughing but you know she's thinking 'it's true. It's so, so true.'

I liked him. He was v. funny.
