Tsunami of Polls #1 : Any interest in a comm devoted to Buffy and the women of the Buffyverse?

#1 - Thank you to whomever gifted me with a temporary paid account last month. Now I can create polls! Oh wonderful Anonymous Benefactor, you have no idea what you have unleashed upon this fandom.
#2 - Thanks also the the lovely [livejournal.com profile] velvetwhip for coming up with the insanely awesome title/tag phrase "tsunami of polls" and allowing me to snag it.

***************



The other day I was having a conversation with [livejournal.com profile] wickedbish in which I may have mentioned that most fandoms and fandom activity, in my experience, are focused primarily on the male characters. I assumed this was common knowledge. Except that he didn't know that. Because, you see, Ryan's favorite character is Willow (see #2 in his list of "13 Witches I Fucking Love"); he still mourns Tara (as do I; shared grief is comforting) and Buffy is one of his heros. The Gift has convinced him to not commit suicide "so many times". He's all about the ladies, bless.

You know what they say about "assuming".

Oops.

 Then [livejournal.com profile] clockwork_hart1 (Lucy) popped into the conversation and in her brilliant, enthusiastic way suggested the idea of a comm dedicated to Buffy, the other women in the 'verse and their interrelationships - complete with a name (Summers Blood) and a banner (she's working on it - is there no end to the young woman's talents?) and three-part harmony. What that might actually look like or what interest there would actually be in such a thing was a matter of conjecture. So I'm channeling my inner Willow (Research Gal) for my very first poll.

What say you, Gentle Reader? Based just on the title of this post, you probably know who you are and how you stand.

(And as this is my first poll, please let me know if it functions ok. And I apologize for the wonky formatting. The LJ instructions for poll-making are vague and confusing at best. So says I.)

Regarding Faith & Wesley, the Wesley!torture do happens in Five by Five, maybe you removed that bit. Anyway if you've already watched both "Five by Five" and "Sanctuary" (such good stuff!), then the only Faith eps left are "Judgment" (just a brief cameo of Faith in prison) and the triad Salvage/Release/Orpheus in which Faith and Wes team up to stop a newly liberated Angelus. - Bear in mind, though, it's very powerful stuff and the eps. are very interconnected with the rest of season 4 arc (with some awful possessed Cordelia, sigh, but maybe you could fast-forward those bits). The character stuff is just brilliant though and there are some truly cult scenes. *_* There's also a Willow not-so-brief appearance so that in the end she can return to Sunnydale with Faith in time for BtVS last eps of season 7. ;)

Eheh, fic and meta recs are being compiled, have no fear... ;) I'm having some difficulty narrowing down my list... :D
