Fat Fan Fiction Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy S01E03 "Witch" end with Amy walking off with Buffy, saying that she's going to stay with her Dad who wants her to come home as soon as school ends every day and sit eating his home-made brownies (not pot or anything, just the purely chocolatey kind). She's pretty sure he *wants* her to get fat, if only so that she won't be as completely obsessed about cheerleading, like her literal witch-mom was. She is perfectly happy to get fat (and, honestly, going straight home after school and staying there is probably the safest thing you could be doing in Sunnydale.)

Buffy responds by claiming that, this year, "fat's in for spring". Getting fat on brownies is actually the height of fashion. Cordelia's trying to top 200lbs.

...well, ok, so "Fat Amy" eventually turned out to be "addicted to dark magic Amy" and the promise of fat fashion was intended to be a joke. ...But what if it wasn't? What if the Amy Madison we see becoming a dark-magic-addict in later seasons was actually a different character who just happened to have the same name? (And didn't really look similar, honest.) What if, in the Buffyverse, 1997 really was the year that the whole world suddenly decided: "Hey. You know what looks *great*? Being morbidly obese."

Just a thought.
