Welcome to Episodic Buffy!

Here's a place to post and chat about the BtVS television series -- not about fanfic, or actors, or the phenomena of fandom(s), but the actual episodes and canon content.

There will be a loose organization to our discussions, in that the mod will propose topics in an episode-based structure. That is to say, if we're talking about s5, the mod will indicate what ep is currently under discussion in an ADMIN post, as well as what's next on the roster. The topics will also be indicated on the group calendar. You can speak about any ep, any season, at any time (with appropriate spoiler warnings for s6 and s7), but indicate the topic/episode clearly in your header.

Do please join in for episode-specific discussions organized by the list-mom even if you post about other eps... that way, we preserve the illusion we're all in a cafe together, drinking lattes and eating scones, discussing the same buffy topic. Just like a book club! Only it's an episode club. So there.

Discussion of subtext, including consideration of slash (relationships between characters of the same gender not depicted directly but hinted at in the show) is not only welcome but _encouraged_. If you have a problem with subtext, this isn't the group for you.

Though you cannot post fanfic or fanart directly to the list, we welcome you to announce your story onlist and provide a link to your work.
