Hey all.

I've been loving all the reactions to Yearbook. I decided to post this entry about what writing for ANGEL has meant to me. Also, it includes my first shot at a "Yearbook" script.

PS: Also, got an interview with Brian Lynch coming from my BCR site in June!

Excellent read! It's always good to know the people behind the Angel series are as big of fans as the readers. That's why the IDW run was far superior to Buffy S8- all heart and no pointless shock value. If there could be one "complaint", for lack of a better word, about the Yearbook I have, it was that it wasn't larger. That way it could've been possible to add the staff's thoughts on Angel like how Mariah's was, as well as the fans.

I like the story that was your original proposal. It would have been good to have some real closure between Gunn, Illyria and Connor. And it has a lo mein monster! I do prefer the story that ended up in the Yearbook, though. It expresses so much with so little.
