I saw you using another icon a couple of times and didn't recognize you at first! See, that's what I mean, lol! I did make a series of icons but 1. I forget to use them and 2. They're not me! *giggle*
But I can be patient. ;) That's good because I'm seriously cash strapped at the mo so no BTVS purchases in the forseeable future, grin.
that writing a lesbian pairing is "too close to home" That's an interesting theroy though I got to wonder why it would not be the same for a het writer then. It's all really wierd. I know that loads of the m/m is written by het women and I can see that actually. I mean guys aren't the only ones who want to see the opposite sex have each other - grin. I have to admit though, that I always thought femslash was written by lesbians, silly me. Of course if your breathing and reasonably healthy, sex with anyone is interesting. :D
I read Buffy&Spike almost exclusively for the longest time
I don't think I've ever been this hooked on a charachter before and I'm not sure why. I have ut it down to the fact I'd never heard of fanfic before now so my indulgences in previous charachters were only via the actual shows they were in. I've never been into buying other than movies on dvd either but of ourse now I can surround myself in Spike 24/7 if I want. I do not however watch the eps that I do own anymore.
I've read Spike/Angel, Spike/Xander (so much for this one for some reason and I find I'm getting quite over it and simply cannot read any that is set during the series - just wrong), Spike/Giles, Spike/Willow, Spike/Tara, Spike/Dru, Spike/Darla, Spike/Other, Spike/Spike - damn he is a slut! Seriously, I'm am so stuck on that charachter. I signed up for a remix thingy and the author I'm doing is mostly writes Xander and NO Spike. I'm having the hardest time doing it!
Maybe I just haven't been here long enough to move on. I read some of valyssia's work a while back for the feedbackathon and I really enjoyed the writing. She really is very good and I thought I would go back and finish the story I began, but I haven't. Anyway, I know what you are saying. It's the writing not the charachters that matter and that's true. I'm just not ready to move on yet, I guess. And no, don't want to read B/G - even well written.
I think too, that having watched the show, having my own ideas of what the charachters are makes it hard to get involved in a story that whose charachters are 'off', especially if the writing is not quite up to scratch. Actually, I haven't been reading much at all other than Spike fic for so long. The odd audiobook and that's about it. God, I'm wandering on today. Love these little chats with you , my hand maiden. Make me think a while. I think I have to go write some femslash. At least, I need to get back to WTF and finish it. People apparently like it. :D
