First of all, we both wish to thank all the wonderful contributors to this volume (and indeed all those who wanted to contribute)without them we would have no book. In particular, we wish to thank Elyce Rae Helford, both for introducing us to the folks at Rowman & Littlefield and for agreeing to comment on parts of the manuscript, and Mary Alice Money, for help during e-mail difficulties (among many other reasons). Thanks also to Christine Gatliffe of Rowman & Littlefield for her encouragement of the project. We are indebted to Richard Gess for the cover photography (and to Rachel Pomberg for lending a hand). And, above all, we thank the creators of our primary source.
From David Lavery : Thanks to Rhonda Wilcox for her most excellent collaboration during a very difficult time in her professional life. Thanks to my family, who have endured my newfound obsession. And special thanks to my students Chris Peltier, Erin Gonzalez, Becky Short, and Brian Logginswithout their powers of persuasion (and videotapes), I would never have come over to Buffy.
From Rhonda Wilcox : Thanks first to David Lavery, for his energy, acuity, expertise, and generosity of mind. That my first time editing such a collection should be with David is a gift. Thanks to all my family and friends for their support and, even more important, their understanding of the significance of this work. Special thanks to my husband, Richard Gess (That was Tales of Brave Ulyssesits Cream), and my son, Jefferson Gess (Look, Spike can bite her because shes already dead): their enthusiastic attention and, ultimately, their patience were important contributions. I want to express appreciation, too, to Cindy Bowers, whose work as a list mistress years ago sparked early commentary about Buffy (on a list devoted to another series) by J. P. Williams, Catherine Siemann, and me, as well as Grace Lee, Cynthia Hoffman, and others I will wish I had named. Some who will read this book know that I have been in a very stressful situation over the course of the project: I am one of over a dozen people who have been involved in a particular fight for freedom of speech and against sexual discrimination. It has meant a great deal to be part of a supportive group during this timeas any Buffy watcher could tell you. I therefore want to add my thanks to Marlin Adams, Jeanne Beckwith, Don Butts, Brett Cox, Gary Cox, Tricia Daughrity, Bill Day, Deborah Johnston, Mary Alice Money, Rhonda Morgan, and Marvin Thomas and also to AAUP members Luanne Fowler, Jon House, and Hutch Johnson (not to mention the members of the Popular Culture Association in the South). You all have helped me to keep going.
Sooner or later, everyone has to decide whether or not to fight the forces.
