I saw you using another icon a couple of times and didn't recognize you at first! *LOL* Ten+ years ago when I was nto (Moulin Rouge/Nicole Kidman fandom) I had one icon for ages because I liked being "identifiable". then I actually starting making them and that was all she wrote, folks.
not having watched any of S3 I'm not really up on her story with Buffy
You've mentioned that before (are you TRYING to wring my heart in your hands and toss it on the ground like a wet rag? Cruel Mistress. *LMAO*) Srsly, you know what I'm going to say. I wasn't "into" the idea of a show set in high school myself, and that kept me from watching it for over ten years. Silly me.
But I can be patient. ;)
Just not interested in that genre which is so wierd because I always thought I had tendencies that way.
Honey, I AM a lesbian, full-stop, and I not only read but I write more fic with hetero pairings than not. Which should be really weird, right? I think there's something about rahirah's theory about her own writing, that writing a lesbian pairing is "too close to home"? Or maybe it has as much to do with the fact that I have so few (read: almost no) templates for f/f. I didn't grow up reading it or watching it on tv.
I've noticed that the folks in this fandom who write f/f - and very good at that - are male, female, gay, straight, bi, whatever. kervik writes (non-explicit) f/f almost exclusively, and marvelously so.
I rarely read anything that does not feature him.
To each our own as you say. I read Buffy&Spike almost exclusively for the longest time, but I'm starting to branch out because one pairing all the time gets dull, like eating steak or salmon EVERY single night for dinner. I want a good story, good writing.
I don't ship Buffy/Giles f.ex. but il_mio_capitano writes the most amazing B/G fics because she writes very perceptively about the characters and their dynamic, how they interact in ways that are still true to canon and she avoids the tropes and cliches. http://capitano-fic.livejournal.com/ But it's taken forever for me to dip into it because I "don't ship them."
The same with Buffy/Angelus, but leni_ba's Courting Sin 'verse is wonderful.
