You know, I like that theory. At least it gives Xander a relatively
believable reason for writing to Dracula, whom Anya seemed to remember
fondly in BvD. That's a real improvement on Andrew's frankly UNbelievable
story that Xander and Dracula "hit it off" in Sunnydale and became
friends, in direct contradiction to what we saw in BvD. Maybe we'll get
lucky and Goddard will steal your idea.
