I bought a Buffy book.

Now that for the first time in my life I have a steady job (therefore: $ but no time), I'm beginning to master the art of the Impulse Buy.

I bought a BtVS pro novel! Spike & Dru: Pretty Maids All In A Row, by Christopher Golden. Look, it was on the discount rack, and the cover's all pretty and blood-soaked red with a yummy picture of Spike and Drusilla. I'm curious to see how it measures up to fanfic. Plus, hey, Spike & Dru, 1940 - not actually a period I've seen ficked much.

Peeking inside the front cover, I see the copyright's 2000. That means the author was working with canon up to S5 at most; probably just S4. At that point, we didn't know much about Spike other than he liked punk music, violence, and Drusilla (and hated Angel). So I'll try not to be too hard on the author with respect to characterization.
