The authors of Buffy: These Our Actors chat about developing Spike, Buffy-less Buffy stories and the theatrical roots of their first Buffy novel.

Kick Start
  How did you get involved in writing These Our Actors together?

Looks Familiar (Cecily spoilers)
  Did you get any feedback from Joss and co. about expanding upon the events in Fool for Love? Did anyone at Pocket Books or Fox get twitchy about all the new TV continuity regarding Cecily?

You're History
  Did one of you write the historical passages and the other the modern ones, or did you fully cross-collaborate on the novel?

Sidelined
  It's not often that a novel sidelines Buffy. Was there resistance to this, and do you think the Buffy novels should be experimenting in this way more?

Play Time
  Did either of you appear in school plays, and if so, what was your favourite memory of them?

Influences
  To what extent did your theatre experiences influence the novel?

Snarky Darla
  Who did you find to be the most interesting character to write for?
