Haven't read it all yet, just first two or three chapters and already it is impressing me with its creativity, and how it comments on both fandom and the series. It also plays with an idea that I've been playing with for a long time myself - and was a bit disappointed that the writers did not play with when given the opportunity in Normal Again - which is the Pirandella idea of what happens when the characters in a story discover they are characters in a story? Created by an external source? And their god is the writer of the story. And the prophecies are a bunch of spoilerwhores? Supernatural does actually go there - in an interesting way. And Star Trek the Next Generation sort of did once.

Then on top of that, she plays with what would happen if Buffy and Spike knew what we the audience knew about them? What the spoilerwhores knew? What if Buffy knew that Spike was a bloody awful poet, and Spike knew that the chip would stop working and he'd try to rape her and hurt her? How would that change them and what happens next?

I did not know that OBAFU was taken down or why. How horrible. And how insane. That kerfuffle pretty much adds the "fanatic" to fan. Why would anyone in their right mind be against an interactive fanfic? Isn't fanfic by its very nature interaction with the series? Sigh.
