okay, some of those were a bit obscure
Not that anybody's asked, but I thought a few of the letters in the Buffyverse Alphabet could use a bit of explanation.
E: In case you didn't get the, er, pun-this refers to Eve the Potential, who was killed by minions of the First Evil before she ever arrived at Buffy's house (as opposed to Eve from Wolfram & Hart).
K: Katrina was Warren's ex-girlfriend, who he killed (sort of accidentally) when he hit her in the head with a bottle. Kendra might have been a better choice for K, but I thought of Katrina first for some reason.
M: This refers to Buffy's first Watcher, from movie canon. (And not from the comic version, in which apparently he shot himself instead of being killed by the vampire. But I couldn't find a way to make "shot himself" rhyme with "coat.")
S & T: I just want to say, it is very sad that "amulet" and "bullet" don't actually rhyme.
U & V: I don't think I rose to the challenge of these letters very well. The only "U" I could find in the series was Cecily's implied last name from that one flashback, and then since Cecily didn't actually have a grisly death but Halfrek did, I had to make the Cecily=Halfrek connection ... and that was a lot to fit into one short line. Also I would've liked Veruca's line to be more specific to her manner of death, but, agh. I couldn't manage it.
X: Xin Rong is the name of the Chinese Slayer that Spike killed, according to the tie-in comics (or rather, according to the Wikipedia article which cites the tie-in comics-I haven't read that comic myself). It was funny to do a Buffy alphabet and not use Xander for X, but again, my theme here was grisly death!
Y: Okay, Y was weak. Really weak. Um, it makes slightly more sense in the context of the Shadow Puppets tie-in comic, in which Smile Time did actually put on an arena show. The kids didn't die, though, which means it doesn't really fit in this alphabet. But Y was damned hard, and I needed to rhyme with "hyenas"!
Z: I'm rather proud of Z, actually.
E: In case you didn't get the, er, pun-this refers to Eve the Potential, who was killed by minions of the First Evil before she ever arrived at Buffy's house (as opposed to Eve from Wolfram & Hart).
