Socks!

Article on the Sunnydale Socks (the fictional livejournals of the Buffy characters):

Article

Oh, I have to say it. I have to.

:clears throat:

That's great. Everybody's got a sock now... y'know, I started it. The whole having-a-sock thing. Before it was the cool new thing...

:D Sorry, sorry. And I know there were a couple of the RPG journals around before thefirstevil, but I couldn't resist that...

Heh, well the truth of it is, you're just so funky and trendy, everyone wants to be like you and having a Sock is the best way to do it.

u, lik, totaly r0x0r!!!!!!1!!! Or something. ;)

Baby, you were season 7 for me. Isn't that enough?

[kraken-wakes.livejournal.com]

Are you going to ever going to continue with the First Evil Journal because I know I'm not the only one who thought it kicked serious ass.

Although, for some odd reason, I was reminded of The Father Christmas Letters by J.R.R Tolkien...

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Right now - no plans to continue. But The First is my girl, and the compulsion to write her again may strike at some point. (I already have my cover story - that vengeance demon ex-boyfriend Lloyd returned to Suunydale right before the final battle, and before Caleb died. He and the First had a garbled heart-to-heart involving an extended metaphor about Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked ice-cream, and Lloyd left. It's entirely possible that he later pulled strings to somehow retrieve the First's computer records and that he would eventually upload the backdated journal entries for posterity...)

So? Get writing girl! You know, I bet the First has a therapist. And a half sibling - the Second, the (to borrow from Austin Powers) diet pepsi of evil.

By the way, you got me into Connor slash. Did I mention hating you?

[valerie-z.livejournal.com]

But yours was always the best. I don't enjoy the socks at all, but I still go back and read your First Evil journal all the time.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Yup, The First's therapist is Holden Webster (because my 4 Buffy fandom obsessions are The First, Holden, Connor and Andrew, not necessarily in that order). Her half-sister (and black sheep of the family) is Jasmine, who whatever the hell their equivalents of parents are always liked better. They haven't spoken since Jasmine sent the miracle snow to save Angel in Amends (because she needed him to father her father, natch)

You can tell I've given this some thought :)

And Connor slash is pretty!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Aww. It's times like this that I remember why I have "stalking Valerie" as an interest... :lick:

[kraken-wakes.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm seriously disturbed.

(and how much does the above sound like a introduction at an encounter group?)

You have your plotlines and your characters and your pretty obsession. Go forth and write. Make us proud.

(I feel like I should be adding a 'young one' to the end of that. Maybe I'm channelling Andrew...)

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

Your obsession is Holden? Is there any Holden fic out there?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I've actually never come across Holden-fic :sigh: Nor written any full-length ones, though I have a few drabbles:

Psych101 (http://www.flamewarriors.net/~doyle/psych101.html)
Balancing Act (http://www.flamewarriors.net/~doyle/balancing.html)
Redux (http://www.livejournal.com/users/doyle_sb4/74397.html)

At some point I need to write Holden/Connor.

It was your brilliance that introduced me to LJ. I was the first anonymous poster to post in thefirstevil's journal as "Willow Rosenberg". I got my LJ name from holden_vamp.

Without you, I would not be.

Now, go forth, create slash. Be all thefirstevil you can be.

::sniff:: That was beautiful, man.

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

Heee! Those were great! I loved Psych101 especially.

[evemac.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well!

Your sock rocks my socks. Or whatever that meant.

But seriously. thefirstevil is better than any of the other RPG LJs. ::scoffs at them::

[evemac.livejournal.com]

They haven't spoken since Jasmine sent the miracle snow to save Angel in Amends (because she needed him to father her father, natch)

Whoa. I never thought of that. It would make so much sense, since that big ret-con and all.

Whoa.

Actually, reading that article this morning, I wondered why there was no mention of thefirstevil. Not only was it *pure genius* and the funniest thing on the net' for weeks, but it was frequently talked about and linked to in the other sock journals. *How* could that reporter neglect the eeeeevilest journal? =D

[mahaliem.livejournal.com]

I don't think I ever told you how much I adored thefirstevil's live journal. It definitely should have been mentioned in the article since it was, in my opinion, the most entertaining.

[blue-larkspur.livejournal.com]

thefirstevil is what got me through not only Season 7 but some tough months at work. I still giggle thinking about the FE explained attempting to drown Spike -- "we got him wet", and the wonderful Ubie memorial. Honestly, you started it all. You're something the writer of that article couldn't even conceive of. ;)

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

You were thefirstevil? I did not know that until just now.

It was *awesome,* as everyone else has said.

[nautibitz.livejournal.com]

Reporters are stupid. We all know yours was the first, the funniest, and the best. Doesn't Drew Goddard's or JE's site have a link to the FE journal? I'm just sayin'. At least they know what's what. Plus, it's the only one in the LJ Top 40 (http://l2g.to/lj/top40). (And it's #20!) So there. ::licks you for being so damn cool and popular::
