Yay, go Buffy and go Joss! It was a very interesting reading about Campbell - I didn't know about how much it influenced modern myths. And I agree that Buffy is a non-standard hero. But as for Angel and Spike - I see a bit of Arthur and Lancelot in them, can't help it. :)
Oh, and the banners are gorgeous! Both in this post - 7 years of Buffy, and the one in LJ: wicked Joss playing chess with our heroes, but they still manage to grab a feel. :)
