Peter says, "Damn Joss left, just as I got here!" 

Yeff says, "Au revoir, mes amis du" 

Eraser- says, "Buffy makes the WB" 

Lex says, "Oh well I guess that is that....." 

Khayos says, "Doesn't. Just making sure." 

Backlash grins at Khayos mischievously. 

Willow_fan wishes his girlfriend was at least PG-13 like Neve campbell in
SCREAM 

Khayos says, "Bye Joss..." 

Lex . o O (If you stop and listen you can hear Joss...leave) 

Backlash says, "Erik, not that it matters." 

Khayos gibbers at Backlash. 

Backlash says, "Buffy should be with a different network." 

Scorpion says, "Hi Jenn! Long time no see! How are ya?" 

Ericone says, "Doo Doo" 

Dontpanic shouts, "bu bye everyone" 

Backlash nudges Khayos in the side. 

Reptilian_cow peters out. 

Zee says, "I can't get enough of the show. If it was canceled I would have to
protest infront of WB Studios until they arrest me!!" 

Ericone smirks. 

Backlash panics. 

Peter . o O ( Joss should come on later at nite so that there won't be as many
pepole to contend with. ) 

Cosette . o O ( My mind is a blank. ) 

Khayos grinds his teeth nervously at Backlash. 

Backlash wipes his brow in relief. 

Dontpanic says, "i will" 

Willow_fan says, "joss is one young looking dude" 

Khayos shudders. 

Eraser- ) 

Khayos says, "True. Sorry, paranoid." 

Eraser- says, "well, this made my day" 

Backlash pokes Khayos in the chest. 

Backlash says, "Why would I ask myself questions, Khayos?" 

Lex says, "Good screen play....lots of classic scenes drawn from other stories
and shows" 

Willow_fan says, "i think TV james and joss are saying '"look at the fools!"
while drinking wine and plotting the end of the world" 

Khayos staggers drunkenly. 

Cosette kisses Scorpion. 

Backlash points at Khayos. 

Cosette says, "Yeah Scorpion! I'm so proud of myself...:-)" 

Backlash putzes around with Khayos. 

Khayos says, "Zee: Good plot/good actors/lots of sillyness" 

Scorpion smiles at Cosette. 

Dontpanic says, "tell/ bree follow me" 

Scorpion says, "Cos, you made it!" 

Peter says, "Zee - Subliminal Messaging." 

Backlash quivers. 

Scorpion gives Cosette a big hug. 

Lex says, "Cute girls Zee" 

Ericone says, "I wonder how many of us TV James can keep here just by leaving
the Joss name logged in all night?" 

Cosette agrees with Lex whole-heartedly. 

Backlash says, "Zee, the show is drugged." 

Khayos sneezes on Backlash. 

Lex says, "Probably laughing at us Peter" 

Tarzan says, "hi everyone" 

Zee says, "Joss how do you make BTVS so addictive?" 

Xenavamp shouts, "Hi Bree!" 

Duras says, "Joss should rest and get some coffee and donuts and stale
crackers." 

Peter says, "Lex - That or he's laughing widly at us! :-)" 

Backlash recoils from Khayos in horror. 

Willow_fan says, "in your face Ericone" 

Khayos grins evilly. 

Lex says, "Hi Tarzan" 

Khayos ruffles Backlash's hair playfully. 

Willow_fan says, "THank you Buffy buff" 

Backlash scolds Khayos harshly. 

Lex says, "I think that Joss is taking a break right now" 

Buffybuff says, "willow_fan" 

Backlash says, "Xander's nuts." 

Ericone says, "It's TV James keeping the line open." 

Reptilian_cow agrees whole-heartedly. 

Khayos smacks Backlash. 

Willow_fan . o O ( someone say my name please ) 

Dontpanic says, "its from the Valley" 

Waxtadpole 's sis thinks that Buffy is "like, totally cool, OK?"

Khayos says, "Nah. I understand where Xander's coming from..." 

Duras says, "No, I'd stick around and wait for Buffy." 

Backlash screams loudly at Khayos. 

Lex says, "Joss is still logged on so he must be alive (I robot you jane)" 

Duras says, "Buffy is a weird name." 

Backlash says, "If I was Xander, I'd be with Willow in a second instead of
drooling over Buffy..." 

Cosette says, "I made it in here!!!" 

Yeff says, "Buffy = I don't know. I've heard it's a nickname for Margaret. Why,
I don't know." 

Ericone says, "Willow_fan: Jinx" 

Willow_fan says, "her name totally fits the characte" 

Duras says, "Why is Joss still here?" 

Peter says, "Finally, I made it!" 

Lex says, "You know I doubt Joss can cut through all this traffic" 

Lex says, "Hi Peter" 

Willow_fan says, "i like Willow" 

Ericone says, "I like Willow." 

Khayos says, "Xandor the Avenger!" 

Lex says, "Hi Jenn" 

Lex says, "Xander is not a robot name!" 

Willow_fan says, "like XANDORr" 

Duras says, "Willow bad name...Will, good name." 

Willow_fan says, "Xander sounds..like a robot name.." 

Ericone says, "Cordelia. Good name. Cordy. Bad name." 

Waxtadpole kills Yeff for his blasphemy against CC 

Lex says, "Alex here!" 

Backlash says, "If my name was Alexander, I'd like to be called Xander...." 

Willow_fan says, "naw they call me Alex" 

Duras says, "Reaching the thousands, I'm guessing. But he understandably got
to maybe 2% of them." 

Yeff says, "Cordelia = good name for snooty LA parents to choose. "It's from
*Shakespeare*, dear!"" 

Lex says, "Lets here it all for the people who's real name is Alexander hey!" 

Ericone says, "but do people call you Xander? Would you want them to?" 

Poet says, "Hi, so how high did the questions go up in number?" 

Backlash falls fast asleep at the sight of Khayos. 

Willow_fan says, "i like Xander's name..probably because my name is
ALEXANDER in real life anyway.." 

Duras says, "I know, they're cool...but so strange." 

Yeff says, "Rupert = not uncommon British name (Rupert Murdoch, Rupert
Everett)" 

Karebear says, "I like everyone's names--they're different." 

Khayos says, "There is no Joss. There is only Zoul!!!" 

Reptilian_cow says, "I miss from 4 to 5 with Joss" 

Duras says, "Yeah, but Cordelia and Buffy and Rupert?" 

Ericone says, "Have you ever met any Xanders?" 

Buffybuff says, "what's her name?????LOL" 

Lex says, "My name is Alexander" 

Yeff says, "Willow = name for child of 60s hippies" 

Waxtadpole says, "Sorry, only Joss' empty husk remains....." 

Aduty says, "ahhhh well Im going to check the board then watch the finale
again......the night was amazing" 

Backlash says, "I like Willow's name." 

Yeff says, "Xander = short for Alexander." 

Ericone says, "xander?" 

Buffybuff says, "is Joss here?????" 

Lex says, "What is so strange about the character's names?" 

Khayos says, "Must... not... miss... any... Joss..." 

Backlash smirks at Khayos. 

Yeff says, "And who the heck names their kid Buffy?" 

Duras says, "Did anyone ask Joss why he chose such strange names for the
show?" 

Aduty says, "Hey our gain that means more time on Buffy" 

Backlash says, "No, he said he wasn't doing Speed 2." 

Khayos says, "Please, exit the chatroom with the Joss name so I can pull myself
from this foul contraption." 

Willow_fan says, "oh cool" 

Backlash snarls angrily at Khayos. 

Kinsey730 says, "He said no all ready" 

Aduty says, "Willow I think he said he wasnt" 

Pilotgrl says, "He said no, WF" 

Willow_fan says, "Joss are you writing Toy Story part 2?" 

Khayos says, "beer beer beer beer" 

Yeff says, "What high school did Mr. Whedon go to - anyone know? How could
it have been that horrible??" 

Reptilian_cow is glad he was let back on 

Duras says, "It took me an hour." 

Aduty says, "err thats Beginning" 

Karebear says, "Hi TV James, hi Joss!" 

Lex shouts, "What is the matter Tarzan" 

Reptilian_cow says, "Hi Scorp" 

Aduty says, "Hey TV James, AWESOME chat. Get Ultimate TV to get a bigger
Auditorium, I almost had a fit when I couldnt get in in the
begginging" 

Duras says, "Joss---or TV James---What made him choose Torrance High
School? Did he like it from 90210 or something?" 

Tarzan shouts, "someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Willow_fan says, "he t.v. james" 

Lex says, "Tvjames put Joss back on" 

Willow_fan says, "but he wrote back something about loving his father..i was
like "HUH?"" 

Cyclone says, "How was the food" 

Ericone says, "TV James: Did you ever check the Monday board? Was I right or
insane?" 

Khayos says, "GO TV J!" 

Backlash waves at Joss. 

Joss says, "(TV James --> Oh, he typed all of that himself. I just sat around
eating the guest food.)" 

Reptilian_cow pats Waxy's sister on the head 

Willow_fan says, "i asked joss if he was working on TOY STORY #2" 

Rumour says, "Hey if about one hundred people started talking to you at once,
wouldn't you be a little intimidated too?" 

Aduty says, "It was great of him just to show up here, Im very impressed" 

Duras says, "Thanks Joss." 

Yeff says, "He's probably gone, or havin beers with the UTV folks." 

Eraser- says, "ugh, I got blue screened, doh" 

Khayos says, "He is, of course, DA MAN" 

Duras says, "Dang, if I were on the show, I'd set aside at least a couple hours
a month and come here." 

Joss says, "(TV James --> Duras, he said July...)" 

Lex . o O (I'm shallow) 

Waxtadpole shouts, "Waxy's sister is watching us now! She is getting a good
laughses...nice Waxysis!!!!" 

Yeff says, "Joss is still logged in from Ultimate TV, but the connection is
idle." 

Khayos says, "Tis his right." 

Techzero says, "Well, I'm outtie. Gotta study for nasty finals. E-GADS!" 

Lex says, "I'm shallow!" 

Ericone says, "Yes, he's still here." 

Khayos says, "Joss is probably lurking, wondering how shallow people can get." 

Reptilian_cow says, "Which one is this" 

Aduty says, "None of my questions got answered in the auditorium either, Im
just greatful he showed up here" 

Lex says, "yeah what waxie said" 

Orfie says, "Hi!" 

Duras says, "Is he still here?" 

Waxtadpole says, " Also, on behalf of all the regulars who aren't here now,
thanks for the great work on the show..." 

Lex says, "Hi Orfie" 

Aduty says, "Duras sorry but he did get hit with thousands of questions." 

Duras says, "I only had two questions, and he didn't even tell me he was
ignoring me." 

Khayos says, "Get yourself together man!" 

Khayos smacks Duras. 

Duras says, "I guess, Khayos." 

Yeff says, "It might have been the case that your questions were duplicated by
others." 

Khayos says, "A talented real person though." 

Duras says, "I was trying to be a humanitarian by tutoring a student for
free...and now this?" 

Waxtadpole says, " Joss, if you can see this, say hi to nice CC for me" 

Khayos says, "Duras: Chill man. He's a real person; not the super man of his
fantasies." 

Techzero says, "Hehe" 

Lex says, "Hi Joss great work....though a little short on time" 

Aduty says, "really Tech, I was having fits when I couldnt log on to the chat" 

Duras says, "Yeah, took me an hour to get on and be ignored." 

Tessa says, "Reptilian_Cow, who's ignoring you? I'll kill 'em." 

Khayos shouts, "Parting is such sweet sorrow! Especially limbs. Lots of limbs." 

Reptilian_cow shouts, "I forgive you" 

Techzero says, "Never knew there was a limit on this room." 

Pilotgrl says, "Thanks for your patience, Joss" 

Duras says, "It wasn't so good." 

Backlash cheers for Joss enthusiastically. 

Aduty says, "I can now face my work week" 

Waxtadpole shouts, "RC, forgive me!!!!!!" 

Aduty says, "man that was good" 

Reptilian_cow shouts, "You're ignoring me" 

Waxtadpole grovels before Joss. 

Rumour says, "Joss has just left the building" 

Khayos laughs hysterically. 

Khayos snickers. 

Backlash says, "Joss... I just realized I liked all the stuff you've done so
far... Keep working, man." 

Tessa says, "Good bye cruel world. Far the well sweet Prince Joss!!!!" 

Yeff says, "Joss, what are you parting words for the fans?" 

Joss says, "I'm bailing -- folding under the pressure, sorry. Just want to say
one last thing. I've had a particularly crappy week and you guys
have made it much better with yer enthusiasm. Thanks. Now leave
me! I want to be alone!" 

Ericone says, "Paul Smith. I've been trying to remember his name for two days
now. Thanks Joss" 

Tutifruti says, "What on the show did you improve for the next season!" 

Duras says, "Joss, thanks for staying the extra 15 minutes...even though you
completely ignored me." 

Khayos says, "Thanks fer yer input. You the man." 

Reptilian_cow shouts, "Zeal why are you ignoring me" 

Rumour says, "Joss, thanks for the chat!" 

Waxtadpole giggles inanely at Joss. 

Hobbes says, "Joss: Thanks for bein' cool , gotta go Keep up the good work and
see you on the posting board. Later. Dave" 

Tarzan shouts, "help me!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Waxtadpole says, " Thanks for nice showsies! Waxy loveses them!" 

Aduty says, "Thanks Joss, you really went above and beyone tonight it really
means alot" 

Cyclone says, "Thanks for the time, Joss and good luck on next season !!" 

Techzero says, "Dew, nah. Triple shot espresso shall do it." 

Backlash says, "Joss... Where can we write to the cast?" 

Jyj says, "bye joss! thanks for stopping by. you're such man." 

Tutifruti says, "Joss, Johnathan sya hi" 

Khayos says, "Drink some Dew." 

Pilotgrl says, "No you've done it..." 

Waxtadpole grovels before Joss. 

Khayos says, "Get some sleep." 

Camille says, "Lex... can't get into Buffy#2? Oh man." 

Rumour says, "I think what Joss nees right now is a break!" 

Khayos says, "Ya Joss. Take care man." 

Duras says, "JOSS---What ever made you choose to film at Torrance High
School?" 

Khayos says, "Jeez. Thought we were bein' vampies." 

Joss says, "Too many questions. i'm beat." 

Hobbes says, "Joss: How did you find the cast? Especially Charisma and Alyson."

Yeff says, "Joss, what's the cast doing in the off season?" 

Xenavamp shouts, "Scorp!!!!!" 

Aduty says, "Well if you ever need another army of vampires just call us " 

Lawless says, "JOSS: do you get much fan mail?" 

Duras says, "Joss---When do yoiu think filming will start again?" 

Waxtadpole says, "Joss, it's enough for me to know that CC thinks Waxy is
"sweet" (allegedly)" 

Yeff says, "Yeah, you wanna be an extra, register with extras casting companies
in LA!" 

Techzero says, "JOSS: How closely are you involved with the f/x of the show? 
The "dusting" of the vamps, etc." 

Khayos says, "Then how about stars! I have a tremendous... ummm nose hair" 

Jyj oO (understands waxy's pain) 

Joss says, "I hate to say this but since it's come up so many times, guys, we
don't need any extras." 

Peter shouts, "AAAAHHHHH! I Can't get in to see Joss!" 

Waxtadpole says, "...I was just trying to amuse you..." 

Yeff says, "Joss - what would you like to do with the series that you know
you'll never get to / be allowed to do?" 

Ericone says, "Jyi: What Joss said." 

Khayos says, "Batman movies=angst; Buffy=minor angst; Buffy vs Batman?" 

Waxtadpole says, "Joss, I apologize again for making a "tookus" of myself on
the posting board..." 

Jyj says, "so long as you write michelle pfeiffer in it's all good." 

Joss says, "I mean Claremonts but particularly in the Byrne (and paul smith)
era" 

Backlash says, "But, Joss... If you did that to the Batman movies, no one
would recognize them." 

Waxtadpole says, "JOss, you certainly are hard to find! ;)" 

Khayos says, "40 White horses on a red hill, first they champ then stand still,
stamp and champ and stamp and champ and then they stand still." 

Tessa says, "Joss, need any x-tras? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?" 

Rumour says, "Hi Wax, welcome to the party room!" 

Jyj says, "byrne's xmen were claremont's" 

Aduty says, "Actually I was thinking he would make the Batman movies more high
class, Backlash" 

Pilotgrl says, "What a concept, Joss!" 

Duras says, "Joss--If you're just gonna ignore me, please tell me so I can just
sit back and read. Thanks." 

Yeff says, "Joss - Ross Andru! You are a man of rare taste and distinction..." 

Ericone says, "Joss: Byrne's X-men but not Claremonts?" 

Tessa says, "Hi Waxy!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Joss says, "I would RULE the batman movies. I'd give them plots and all kinds
of innovative stuff -- like PLOTS! But no one has asked." 

Cyclone says, "JOSS which fast food for you...Arches, the king...or the BELL" 

Tessa says, "I finally made it!!!Yes,Yes,Yes,Yes!!!!!!!!!!" 

Khayos says, "Hmm ... Maybe we should stop asking and start chatting..." 

Backlash says, "Joss is too high class for Batman." 

Cosette shouts, "I don't have the choice of Buffy2 on my list!" 

Joss says, "Fave comix: spiderman in the Ross Andru era, Warlock by Jim
Starling, Ronin... sooo many. But I hate all the new onres. Oh,
loved Byrnes Xmen" 

Jyj oO (Thinks joss must feel like Luke Perry now.) 

Aduty says, "Yeah Joss take over the Batman movies....please" 

Duras says, "JOSS---What made you choose Torrance High School to film at?" 

Tutifruti says, "I'm sorry we are asking so many question we just love the show
so much!" 

Hobbes says, "Thats cool Joss. How does one start out in the "Business"?" 

Ericone says, "Yeah! More comic book questions!" 

Khayos says, "Are your fingers tired? Mine are." 

Aduty says, "Ouch!" 

Yeff says, "Joss, do you ever wake up in the night, screaming, covered with
sweat, then think "What a great idea for an episode"?" 

Joss says, "As for why the work is so hard. imagine being in this chatroom
every minute of everyday answering questions at this rate. That's
producing" 

Khayos shouts, "Cya Markymark of the Buff world." 

Rumour says, "Will Buffy ever get to time travel?" 

Aduty says, "Im happier that the WB has it better chance of it sticking around" 

Jyj says, "i'm going to reiterate maytree's question from the chat. what is
your favorite comic book? now and ever?" 

Felimaster says, "bye buffybuff, c-ya!!!" 

Lex shouts, "bye Buffybuff" 

Khayos ponders sending Sarah a computer. And a picture. 

Buffybuff shouts, "bye everyone!!!!!!!!!!!" 

Joss says, "Angel didn't dissappear because the other vamps didn't either --
they just dispersed." 

Hobbes says, "Joss: Where will the next season pick up? I think itwould be
cool to show the prom right after the fight with the master." 

Aduty says, "or Sam Diane what ever you prefer" 

Aduty says, "Its the whole David Maddie thing Tutifruti" 

Cosette shouts, "Somebody help me!!!!!!!" 

Cyclone says, "FOX probably passed on the show due to Kindred: The
Embraced" 

Khayos says, "Joss: Should read if you get the time. Kicks ass." 

Yeff says, "Bah - I say Giles and Ms. Calendar - get that librarian lad into
the 20th century!" 

Tutifruti says, "Xander hates Cordilis why does everyone want them to get
together he hates he he thinks she is innoying!" 

Joss says, "don't know David Eddings." 

Felimaster says, "joss: how come its the hardeest work?" 

Duras says, "Joss---What made you choose Torrance High School to film?" 

Backlash says, "Oh, great, Joss. Now you've spoiled it for me." 

Aug says, "Joss, why didn't Angel disappear at the end?" 

Sgtrock shouts, "Hoss Bleedin'?" 

Joss says, "There is no off season for me. Buffy is the hardest work I've ever
done." 

Khayos says, "JOSS: Ever read David Eddings?" 

Ericone says, "Joss: What about Xander and cordy? I would have loved to see
them dancing." 

Joss says, "Yes I can be more vague. Some things will happen and our
characters will react to them" 

Yeff says, "Joss, what are you doing in the off season?" 

Cyclone says, "How many episodes for next season ??????" 

Felimaster says, "joss: will willow ever find the right guy??" 

Aduty says, "LOL" 

Backlash says, "(:" 

Pilotgrl says, "Joss - Thanks for using Kim Richey's music - Great choice!" 

Duras says, "Joss: Do you know when production will start for next season
again?" 

Sgtrock shouts, "SEND HIM TO BUFFY #3!! Please?" 

Backlash says, "Joss, could you please be more vague about what's coming up
next season and beyond?" 

Joss says, "Jyi, but then you have to worship other guys too. How rude" 

Khayos humbles himself before the grand deity Joss and begs for but a word...
any word... perhaps a long word. 

Zac shouts, "STOP SHOUTING PLEASE" 

Buffybuff shouts, "thanks orf!!!!" 

Joss says, "Yes and now they're going steady. Or not." 

Jyj says, "the nice thing about polytheism is that i can worship joss." 

Hobbes says, "Joss: Do you read any of the fan fiction?" 

Rumour says, "doh!" 

Orfie shouts, "Buffybuff that was a good one!" 

Ericone says, "Joss: Did Willow get to dance with Angel at the Dance after the
Master died?" 

Aduty says, "OK no more questions just loads and loads of praise" 

Duras bows down in front of Joss and asks for the talking stick. 

Joss says, "Rumour, hit yourself. thank you" 

Yeff says, "How does an aspiring young scriptwriter get going in the biz?
(while, of course, writing writing writing) How did you get started?" 

Buffybuff shouts, "since i can't get in----JOSS----do you like buffy's dress??????"

Tutifruti says, "LOL I like your sence of humor a stump!!!" 

Duras says, "When will you start filming again?" 

Joss says, "She'l be around more but she'll always be cordy." 

Rumour says, "Joss, boxers or briefs? (Don't hit me please!)" 

Backlash says, "Does that mean Codelia will hang with Xander, Buffy and Willow
now?" 

Joss says, "I'd be a stump" 

Duras says, "So Joss, you're staying on a while longer?" 

Jyj says, "if you were a tree, the tree that you'd be? :)" 

Joss says, "Cordy's in the know" 

Camille shouts, "Hurry, everyone.... go to Buffy #2. Joss is there!" 

Duras says, "I'd like to know when it'll start again so that I can..."visit my
teachers...."" 

Khayos says, "Do you have some TP?" 

Joss says, "Yes i had back story we film in july so may questions it's a
MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!" 

Felimaster says, "joss: in one word how do you describe yourself??" 

Backlash says, "Camille... Stop telling us to go where we already are." 

Aug says, "JOSS, does Cordelia now know about Buffy?" 

Khayos snickers. 

Khayos says, "Kewl! I tried sowing a house too!" 

Rumour says, "Hi Cam!" 

Aduty says, "Joss: How much of the movie is backstory? Was there a Merrick?" 

Camille shouts, "To talk to Joss... go to Buffy #2" 

Yeff says, "Did you have a lot of the series backstory in your mind when you
did the movie?" 

Angelik shouts, "Where's Joss?" 

Sgtrock shouts, "NOT LOVING THIS!!!!" 

Duras says, "Joss, I go to Torrance High. When will filming start again?" 

Cyclone says, "Will their be another movie with the TV cast (and THX)" 

Joss says, "The sow is how I wanted the movie." 

Rumour says, "Whoa..big word!" 

Khayos shouts, "If fuzzy wuzzy wuzz a bear..." 

Jyj says, "Joss: how did reaction to the movie influence your
reconceptualization for the show?" 

Joss says, "I haven't heard the rumors. They're hideous lies" 

Yeff says, "Cordelia and Ms. Calendar didn't get as much character development
as one would think they'd get - is this because of the short season?" 

Aug says, "HI JOSS" 

Camille shouts, "type "/go buffy#957" 

Khayos shouts, "Yah yah Duras." 

Ericone says, "Joss: Well, there are always baggy shirts. Not that I'm
complaining." 

Rumour says, "Good one Joss!" 

Orfie shouts, "duras your right!" 

Aduty says, "Yeff: Im sure something is going on with Willow she has a Wathcher
AND a Techno pagan for teachers" 

Tutifruti says, "I think Buffy need more training I mean in the Movie she had
so much training and Buffy only has training sometimes!" 

Khayos says, "JOSS: The whole Xander/Buffy thing hits a personal nerve...
sounds too real. Something like that happen to you?" 

Joss says, "Or if you're not a star" 

Scorpion says, "Joss, I've heard (scary) rumors that Sarah will be resigning as
Buffy soon... any truth to this?" 

Duras shouts, "You know, it's not much of a starchat if you don't stay and chat!!!"

Joss says, "There zare big plans for willow and all of them." 

Yeff says, "Are there big plans for Willow? I have a feeling she has a lot to
learn from Giles..." 

Joss says, "Ericone -- see part about showtime" 

Eraser- says, "oh boy" 

Khayos bounces around. 

Rumour says, "Ericone, you dog!" 

Aduty says, "Thank you, that was a big worry of mine" 

Camille shouts, "Hit RELOAD... click on GO TO OTHER ROOMS... select BUFFY" 

Khayos says, "GO ERICONE!" 

Pilotgrl laughs hysterically. 

Joss says, "All will be in the eps." 

Khayos says, "WOO HOO!" 

Ericone says, "Joss: So why does Buffy wear a bra to bed? [Ducking and
running]" 

Cyclone says, "Did Darla maybe have a twin sister./....please!!" 

Jyj says, "hahaha!" 

Joss says, "The theatre scares me. I don't know where to put the car chases" 

Aduty says, "Are the core 4 going to be in all the episodes or are you going to
start rotating them?" 

Rumour says, "If a vampire sucked on a person who has AIDS, will that kill the
vampire too?" 

Khayos says, "40 white horses on a red hill" 

Joss says, "I did kill Buffy. Will nothing satisfy you!?" 

Jyj says, "Joss, would you ever write for the theater?" 

Yeff says, "So, when are we getting some Buffy conventions? Hercules and Xena
already have them..." 

Krissy says, "Is Buffy a virgin?" 

Pilotgrl says, "Guy, stop asking him the same question, over and over!" 

Joss says, "Can't hear ptches, but am open to grovelling" 

Backlash says, "If I begged hrad enough, would you kill off Buffy and have
Willow as the new star?" 

Khayos says, "No, blood type." 

Joss says, "I'm always confused and tired. bThe other part is new" 

Lawless says, "you're an actor khayos?" 

Camille shouts, "To talk to Joss..... (no holds barred).... type "/go buffy""
