Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales is about a Slayer in medi This is a collection of short stories all set in Joss Whedon's Buffyverse, and so just as "canonical" as the "Season Eight" comic series from Dark Horse Comics, but mostly they are independent shorts focusing on Slayers throughout the ages, and a few little vignettes about secondary characters. Righteous is about a Slayer in medieval Europe who saves a town from a master vampire, but finds that the town is less than grateful. Echoing frequent themes in Whedon's work fear of female empowermentit's one of many of the stories that has a rather dark ending. The Innocent features the Slayer hunting vampires on the streets of Revolutionary France, and being betrayed by very human evils. Presumption is an Austenesque romp with a vampire and a Slayer dancing at a Regency ball, with a twist ending. As a bonus, we get a first glimpse of Sunnydale and an old friend from the TV series. Sonnenblume is Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the more disturbing and yet more heroic stories, as the Slayer this time is a German girl in Nuremberg in Tales is set in Whedon's future-Slayer Fray universe. The second half of the volume collects the Tales of the Vampires series, which made individual vampires characters. Of course they are all evil, but sometimes you can almost sympathize with them. These stories also range throughout history, though with Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales focusing on the modern day, and a few of them involve characters from the series: Spike and Drusilla make an appearance, as does Angel, and there's a humorous tale with Buffy going to rescue Xander from Dracula.

  • Slayage, Number 1
    J. Lawton Winslade Teen Witches, Wiccans, and “Wanna- Blessed-Be’s”: Pop-Culture Magic in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1) In an introductory scene of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, entitled “Hush,” the character of Willow Rosenberg is sitting with a group of young women gathered in what is obviously the lounge of a busy college dorm. She struggles to maintain concentration as one of the women leads the rest in a guided meditation vaguely focusing on feminine energy. The leader then promptly breaks the meditation and begins discussing bake sales and newsletters. This is the Wiccan group of UC-Sunnydale, the fictional college that is the setting for the fourth season of the popular WB show (currently in its fifth season). Though mentioned in previous episodes, this is the only time we see the group and its members. Sunnydale’s young Wiccans toss around all the buzz words associated with the contemporary feminist spirituality movement: empowerment, energy, blessing. Yet when Willow proposes they do actual magical work, like conjuring or casting spells, she is mocked, and accused of both perpetuating negative stereotypes and “sucking energy” from the group. Afterwards, Willow relates her experiences to Buffy. The dialogue ensues: Buffy: So not stellar, huh? Willow: Talk. All talk. Blah Blah Gaia. Blah Blah Moon…menstrual life force power thingy. You know, after a coupla sessions I was hoping we could get into something real but . Buffy: No actual witches in your witch group? Willow: No. Bunch of wanna-blessed-bes. You know, nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she’s a sister of the Dark Ones.

TOWARD A RHETORIC OF SCHOLAR-FANDOM by TANYA R. COCHRAN Under the Direction of Lynée Lewis Gaillet ABSTRACT Individuals who consider themselves both scholars and fans represent not only a subculture of fandom but also a subculture of academia. These liminal figures seem suspicious to many of their colleagues, yet they are particularly positioned not only to be conduits to engaged learning for students but also to transform the academy by chipping away at the stereotypes that support the symbolic walls of the Ivory Tower. Because they are growing in number and gaining influence in academia, the scholar-fans of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Buffy) and other texts by creator Joss Whedon are one focus of this dissertation. Though Buffy academics or Whedon scholars are not the only ones of their kind (e.g., academic- fan communities have cropped up around The Simpsons, The Matrix Trilogy, and the Harry Potter franchise), they have produced more literature and are more organized than any other academic-fan community.
