Is Cecily Halfrek?

I feel sort of Carrie Bradshaw/ Sex in the City-like starting a post with a question (and since I've been watching the series for the first time [yeah, too stingy for HBO] I probably should do a post on the subject sometime). Anyway, is William's Cecily the demon Halfrek?

I mean clearly in my current WIP, Cecily is Halfrek and Halfrek is Cecily. But in the larger scope of the Whedonverse, is Cecily Halfrek?

I honestly hadn't realized that there were such strong feelings on the subject until I read a debate about it on BAPS a few weeks ago. I even saw an icon about it on someone's LJ where the icon explained various points of canon and the icon flashed a point blank, stated as a fact "Halfrek was not Cecily" dictum as if there really is a definitive answer.

Now, personally, I can go either way. Yeah, I wrote Perfect Vengeance as Cecily being Halfrek, but that's because it was a really good way to explain time travel. Plus I had one of those flashes of inspiration about the plot and it hinged on Halfrek being Cecily. But that's fanfic. In the grand scheme of Buffyverse canon, I see this as a point that can easily be argued either way.

The thing is, there are people who are surprisingly passionate on the subject as both the icon and the BAPS debate make clear. Now, the BAPS debate started with discussion of the upcoming Peter David "Spike" comic. (Spoiler Info in Peter David's Post Here: http://peterdavid.malibulist.com/archives/002714.html ) Peter David is taking the stance that Cecily was Halfrek. This started a debate where many people stated categorically that Halfrek simply was not Cecily and that what's on the show in Season 7 proved it as canon.

I'm still shaking my head wondering how. ( Read more... )

Heh. While looking around my hard drive for last year's Easter icon, I ran across this. Forgot I had this. A pic of my spoiled rotten kitty, Carly:



And my nephew was written up in the local paper:
