Ms. Evans picks up on the one fact that will ultimately make media tie-ins a legitimate work - mainstream writers are getting into the act. "Oh, I've always wanted to write a Buffy novel and share it with the world." Sheesh. Meanwhile, while we get the derivative, we're being denied original, thought-provoking work. Thanks for depressing me even more, Orenthal.
