Okay guys, I was checking out the City of Angel boards and discovered this. This is what one Angel fan thought was the future for Angel and his gang, simply too funny not to post it here: S P O I L E R S 1 2 3 4 5  |

I wonder how many fans are doing a season 6 on thier own.
I know of at least one other but this one, this All New Angel Season, is further along with ideas and characters.
And I think its all brilliant.

Hey Liza, e-mail me their URL, a little rip-offing always helps the story along. Who knows, maybe we can steal a good conflict from them. note: THIS POST WAS A HUGE JOKE. ANYONE WHO TAKES WHAT I SAID HERE SERIOUSLY IS IMMEDIATLY DELETED FROM THIS SITE. ;D ;D ;D  |

And I think its all brilliant. I think the key is to remove ourselves as fans (so we don't "geek out") and just approach it as storytellers. I think most fan-fic suffers because the author tries to either please the audience by giving them what they want (Joss would NEVER lol) or they try to change established elements that they didnt care for more to their likeing such as getting rid of one character and bringing in Buffy to be together with Angel, etc. It's all about whats deciding what is right for the character and story rather than whay you personally wan to see. And I think there are quite a few people who have a grasp on that here....in short: I think we're going to be okay.  |

Doyle man, that's one hundred % correct. We need to act as the real writers, not as the people that will be presented with this. We need to think on what would be the most devastating thing for ourselves. What we most wish won't happen is often the way to go.
Example:
(while writing an episode) Man, Spike is getting to be really likable. I hope he doesn't die.
Types: Then the demon drove the stake through Spike's chest mercilessly.

The other site is a live journal started by some really good fanfic writers. www.livejournal.com/community/ats_nolimits/Thing is, I want a season 6 so Joss-like that Joss himself would go "wow". And you know he believes that no one should be able to predict anything in his shows and I think we should keep up the tradition. That, and you have a beloved character die. |

eh, i'm going to avoid looking at it so as not to be involuntarily influenced. Good to know there are others keeping up the good fight though. |

you have a beloved character die. Thing about that is that Joss and Co. (the real ones) really cramped our style with that angle in S5. I mean look how many of the Fang Gang kicked the bucket that season: Cordy Fred Wesley Gunn (okay, maybe not actually in the season but pretty obvious what would happen) |

Yeah, Joss loved to pull the heartstrings.
But at least none of the characters died simple deaths.

I'm all for drunken karaoke. My favorite song is Supertramp's "The Long Way Home". I've yet to find it at a karaoke bar. (shakes fist). |
