This is a series of funny pieces I'm writing, (by me with suggestions from others) about how the Slayer Squad, were they real, would deal with the issues the show presents to them.

Behind the Scenes
1. The Siege It's the night of the living fan club, and they're out for Xander's blood. But Xander has his own defenders...
A QUOTE TO WHET YOUR INTEREST:
"Maybe I should just give myself up," Xander muttered into his hands.
Buffy reached down, pulled his chin up to face her, and stared sternly into his eyes. "Don't talk like that," she ordered. "They'd kill you in an instant and things would be worse than ever. Nobody will die if you just stay tight."
Xander mustered a sickly smile and nodded in the direction of the sounds of violence. The distinctive whoosh of a flamethrower was clearly if faintly audible.
2. Competition Buffy has just been told that a new Slayer will be joining the show. Will Joss survive?
A QUOTE TO WHET YOUR INTEREST:
Buffy was on a roll. "You talentless, insensitive, inconsiderate, imbecilic, mentally trauma'd, self-promoted, egotistical, two-bit little slimeball!"
The rest of the Slayer Squad exchanged glances and held up scorecards. '8.4' '6.9' '9.0' and a hastily scribbled '7' from Giles. Cordelia, lacking a scorecard, took the moment to put in, "Yeah, Joss, and you really oughta do something with your hair."
3. Source of Inspiration
True, there are already lots of stories out there in which the Slayerettes surf the web and read fanfic about themselves. This story just takes that concept a little bit further, that's all...
A QUOTE TO WHET YOUR INTEREST:
Xander looked sardonic, even for Xander. "Fanfic, huh? I find it very hard to believe that anyone could write worse scenarios for us than Joss' wild flights."
Buffy looked at Willow. "I guess we'll have to prove it... we'll have to show him."
As Xander read the first three lines, his eyes began to widen, much as Buffy's had. Two pages in, he was reduced to simply shaking his head in disbelief, or perhaps it was denial.
"Well?" Buffy prompted, quite deliberately avoiding looking at the screen.
"That's sick. That's really sick. And as much as I dislike Dead-boy... there's no way he could have done something like that."
Buffy nodded. "Not with the curse on him, anyway..."
"More to the point, where did he find the meat hooks?"
4. Friendly Advice Joss Whedon, aka The Great Tripping One, stands up for his creation.
A QUOTE TO WHET YOUR INTEREST:
MR. NETWORK PRODUCER: Well, we've been doing a lot of thinking, especially after this year's Emmys. We feel that your show should have won more awards than it did.
MR. JOSS WHEDON: Uh, thank you. I think.
MR. NETWORK PRODUCER: Now, what we came up with was; the reason that your show didn't achieve its full potential as a megahit is because it has a stupid name.
