How do you feel about ita moon?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like it's an acknowledgment, not a response, since no one asked. I don't know about the Bronze, but did people ask for character names?
Mostly I thought it was about plot direction.

Shoutouts are one thing (and a fun one, to boot). But in terms of plot-related reaction to fan response, I can only think of two instances where I know it's happened: the decision that Willow's next SO after Tara's death definitely wouldn't be a man, and the abandonment of the Angel/Cordelia "romance."

Fandom tends to have such a diverse set of opinions on any given character or plot point, I'm amazed that the writers can sift through and get a sense of what general audience response is. I mean, there were people out there who thought Ben was a great character.
Well I assume they disregard the ANgle is so hot! Buffy is fit! They should slepe wit Guyles! posts.

I agree on these. I tend to think they use it as confirmation of what they're thinking. Like when they first thought of bringing JM on board in the wake of DB's departure. I would imagine knowing the fans enjoyed Spike just helped confirm their feelings on it. I've often wondered if Riley got Bronzed, though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cindy, why are you awake (already, I assume)

I have no idea, Perkins. And instead of lying in bed crying about it, and waking up my dh, I got up. Coffee is already made. I'm going to be utterly useless by the time my oldest son gets home from school, aren't I?

Um, I don't hit the utterly useless stage for a few straight weeks of nights like that, but I'm probably not the person to ask.

That was me, years ago. I hit 30, and whooosh. That all went away. One night does me in for the next day, almost always.
Umm. Yeah, so... how's peeps?
Speaking of PEEPS (okay, so the other kind), someone posted at another board, that Just Born has some new Halloween Peeps this year. It made me think of your lenten yearning for them.
Now...what unspeakable stuff?

The really horrible stuff I wrote just to prove that I could write something with no redeeming qualities.
Then, of course, I blew it by writing a sequel that made the first make sense emotionally.
I suck at pure exploitation, I fear.
