Next week we will be viewing and discussing Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oh joy! Because we will be slightly abbreviating our cobverage of Buffy, I'd like to generate some discussion/response to the articles on htis blog. As you might expect, you will evaluated on your response participation as if we were having an in-class discussion. As well, I would like to have a one-page response combining reaction to/thoughts on the following two articles for Tuesday (you may email this). Along with reading the Krzywinska article in the reading packet ("Hubble, Bubble, Herbs and Grimoires") for next Tuesday, be sure to check out Jason Winslade's article on Slayage.tv, Teen Witches, Wiccans, and “Wanna-Blessed-Be’s”: Pop-Culture Magic in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Since the topics are similar, you might consider comparing and contrasting the two articles.
There are a plethora of sources on the web on Buffy, and many academic articles. Slayage has an undergraduate page as well, for junior scholars to submit essays for online publication.
And for the true fan, you can purchase collectible action figures!

I have a question to pose to you. While Wheadon has no problem with magic realism and breaking down the barriers and sterotypes of witchdome, why is so hesitant with the gay relationship of Willow. Apologizing to fans for making her gay on blog sites? Stand by your choices dude.
