1) What is your real name? Erin
2) Email address/IM if you wish to share? [email protected]/ AIM: Erinsk8
3) Age? 18
4) Where are you from? Not-the-city NY, but I go to college in Boston.
5) When did you start watching Buffy and Angel? Buffy the summer before season 3, Angel from the beginning.
6) Favorite season? Buffy: 3 and 2. Angel: 4.
7) Favorite episode? So hard...my top 3 for Buffy are Lovers Walk, OMWF, and Becoming. For Angel, IWRY, Smile Time, and the Pylea episodes.
8) Favorite couples? Buffy/Angel will forever be my OTP. I also love Fred/Wesley and Spike/Dru, and my favorite unconventional pairing is Dawn/Connor.
9) Do you read any Buffy fanfic? Oh yes.
10) Do you write Buffy fanfic? Yes! I have for nearly 5 years now.
11) Do you own Buffy merchandise? Way more than is healthy...an Angel puppet I paid an insane amount of money for but love, all the DVD sets for both shows, all soundtracks, every issue of both magazines that was ever released, the mini lunchboxes, comics (some old ones and the all of the new season 8/season 6 ones), the dolls, about 2 dozen action figures, the board game and the card game, the calendars for years running, lots of books, the pop out people, the magnets, a binder with 8x10 photos in it, my B/A poster and a couple other smaller posters, and my lovely Bangel clock I got on ebay.
12) Have you seen every episode? Multiple times.
13) Why do you love Buffy? In my opinion, it is the most intelligent show that has ever been written and will ever be written. It had everything, and despite the extreme supernatural basis, it managed to be the most real, most relatable show ever because the characters were so beautifully flawed. The show was just acted, written, and directed to perfection. There are probably no words to ever express how it has affected me.
14) What other shows do you watch? Firefly, Port Charles, Bones, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, LOST, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, CSI:, Nip/Tuck, Tru Calling, The 4400, The Amazing Race, The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
15) Any interesting info about yourself? I'm a freshman at Boston University, and my dream is to be a screenwriter/producer for television...basically I want to be Joss Whedon. My ultimate goal is to write something that affects even one person the way his shows affected me. Aside from that, my two biggest passions are figure skating and Broadway musicals. Oh, and in December 2007 I met Joss Whedon (with Tara!) and it was basically the best day of my life.
16) When did you join Simply Buffy? Haha, I founded it. 5 YEARS ago, wow. I feel old. I started the guild because I had searched but not found a Buffy guild that was everything I wanted in one, so I decided to create that guild. What it turned into is beyond my wildest dreams.
17) Favorite thing about the Simply Buffy Guild? The people. I have made so many incredible friends and met so many awesome people that I would not have otherwise. And now, years after Buffy went off the air, the guild keeps it in my life and never lets me forget the magic that is that show.

1) What is your real name? Tara
2) Email address/IM if you wish to share? [email protected] / AIM: TaraMaclayLives
3) Age? 20 - I'll be 21 the first week of March.
4) Where are you from? Boston! :)
5) When did you start watching Buffy and Angel? Buffy - end of fourth grade? Angel - beginning of season four x.x
6) Favorite season? Of Buffy - Seasons 2 and 5. Angel - season 5.
7) Favorite episode? Of Buffy: Angel, Restless, Family, The Prom, OMWF. Of Angel: Smile Time, Fredless, Spin the Bottle, A Hole in the World, Not Fade Away.
8) Favorite couples? Buffy/Angel, Willow/Tara, Fred/Wesley
9) Do you read any Buffy fanfic? Nearly every day.
10) Do you write Buffy fanfic? I do write fanfic. Do I finish? not usually -_-
11) Do you own Buffy merchandise? Absolutely! two sets of both the Buffy and Angel DVDs, 85 books, several dolls, plush replicas, figures, puppets, the soundtracks, and more miscellaneous items.
12) Have you seen every episode? YES! Last year I got over my chronic fear of Seeing Red and viewed it in its entirety for the first (and possibly last) time.
13) Why do you love Buffy? I think that once you look into the actual meaning of the show, it becomes clear that Buffy can really speak to people on many levels. I think that some of the messages are real issues that teens face every day, with a sort of fantasy twist on them. Plus there are a few episodes with hidden meanings and relevance that are almost more fun to decode than they are to watch.
14) What other shows do you watch? Mostly just Bones. Also X-Files reruns. And I watch Grey's Anatomy on really bad days.
15) Any interesting info about yourself? I was one of two guild members to meet Joss Whedon just before Christmas. I also have a record of freaking out Amber Benson in a moment of unrestrained fangirlism.
16) When did you join Simply Buffy? I joined Simply Buffy in September 2003. I was 16 at the time. Erin had been strategically neomailing neopets users with usernames directly related to Buffy. The guild was actually pretty small when I joined - I think there were like, six of us?
17) Favorite thing about the Simply Buffy Guild? The people. I've been in other guilds on other accounts, but Simply Buffy has the best people to strike up conversations with. With different points of view, it makes debating more competitive, and I really think that with the people in the guild, sharing information about Buffy and Angel really reaches people. The guild members are what make the guild. Without our members, I honestly don't think Simply Buffy would have survived this long. And I hope that we keep it going for years to come. So many Buffy guilds have died out that I think it says a lot about the strength of our members. And of Erin, who's been heading this thing for five years.

4) Where are you from? Canada
5) When did you start watching Buffy and Angel? When it first came out? Can't remember what year it was.
6) Favorite season? 2/7 for the epicness.
7) Favorite episode? Becoming Parts 1&2, and a lot more. I'm not a "favorite" kind of person, too many thing to like in all of the episodes. Plus I've never been one to remember episode names :P ... or names in general.
8) Favorite couples? Willow/Oz, (because I love Oz and season 2 and werewolves) Spike/Druscilla, Giles/"Dreadful Calendar Woman (LOL)"
9) Do you read any Buffy fanfic? I try to stay away from fanfics, there's not enough jewels in that desert IMO. I'm more of a strictly canon girl myself.
10) Do you write Buffy fanfic? I don't like to meddle with other people's characters, so no. The closest I'll ever come to it is using the Whedonverse to stage a story with my own original characters. I might make comedic references to canon once in awhile though.
11) Do you own Buffy merchandise? Just the DVDs so far, but I'm looking at getting some comics. 'Fraid I'm Buffy deprived where I live, and have been for the past 20 years.
12) Have you seen every episode? You bet.
13) Why do you love Buffy? I love the paranormal, and I love heroines that don't feel like they have to act like a man to be the main character and kill bad guys and save the day *cough*Generic, slutty, heavily made-up action heriones*cough* It's an ordinary girl thrown into an extraordinary destiny which I think a lot of people have day dreamed about at LEAST once in there life, if not a million times over.
14) What other shows do you watch? Angel, Supernatural, Smallville, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly and Charmed... which are all pretty much Paranormal in one way or another.
15) Any interesting info about yourself? I'm a witch ^_^ lol.
16) When did you join Simply Buffy? Just a few months ago
17) Favorite thing about the Simply Buffy Guild? I love having so many people to talk about Buffy about.. even if we don't always agree on something, it's still great to just be discussing it. My sister and my mom are really the only ones that watch Buffy with me, and both of them never, ever like discussing anything about t.v. shows or anything so it's a big relief to find people who do.
