realizing that it shouldn't work, and probably won't, but going for it anyway.
That? = love.
I'm going to try your S/X fics, and look forward to doing so.
Xander's feelings about vampires.
Interesting! I would've thought that hurdle would've been kinda fun to make Xander hump madly climb.
Um. Nothing. I know it's a non-canon ship. I'm okay with that.
How broad-minded you are. See, I would eventually become annoyed with people like me who keep saying "I don't get it." But of course I say that and then go try to get it. That's basically how I got into slash. I understood it on a cerebral level, and I was totally alright with it, it just didn't get me hot or really interested, the way it seemed to for some people. I'm now convinced that the (rather large) number of slash fics I tried before falling in love with it were just badly written. What was I talking about again?
Buffy/Anya/Willow/Angel bashing, ... the occasional OOC-ness that occurs at times when they're brought together ("I always loved YOU, whelp-boy! Not Buffy

oh, email me! Yes, sometime when you have time. I have an easier time over email than discussing everything in public. Though I am even more long winded in emails.
And I WANT TO GO TO THAT! You and Stoney always make me feel the need to use capslock.
Where did you get that icon? I want it. Because . . . that's my name!

I wish now I had chosen a user name with my real name in it.
I have trouble calling people their names sometimes, even if I know it. I don't want to be overly personal, you know? Except for Lynne, because she doesn't like her user name.
Re: (I'm Long Winded. You Know This)letteredFebruary 2 2006, 22:27:44 UTC
Yeah, Lynne told the story of her name here, when I ased where people got their user names. See, I didn't even know Stoney's name. And even though she's my beta and I love her and talk to her over email all the time, I only found out a2zmom's name when someone else told me what it was.
I used to dislike my name. Even though I love it now, I'm still fascinated by the idea of "naming myself" (like in Anne of Green Gables) which is why I've had a billion pen names--since I thought I needed one for the internets anyway, may as well have fun with it, right? But yeah. Not like anyone's going to find just one "Joy" in Houston.

(Well, that was alot for someone who claims to no longer have an OTP, wasn't it?)Also? This makes me sad. *pets you*. You know, my obsessions go in cycles. I'll get into a fandom for a while and then I'll just get . . . apathetic. I leave abruptly, don't finish my WIPs, and just . . . move on to something completely different. Now, that's not going to happen here, because since I'm actually interacting with people in fandom and have friends here, I can't see myself actually abandoning a WIP or deleting my lj or what have you. But I can see myself taking long breaks, or moving away from Jossverse for a while into something different

Oh, Spike and Angel can be snarky, too, but there's so much history flavoring that, so it always seemed a bit poignant as well as funny. Spike and Xander were just all-out snippy with each other, and that amuses me.
That's so interesting! See, that was one of the main reasons I didn't get S/X . . . it seemed harder to get to a point where they could be all poignant (which I like in a ship). But you're right: that paves the way for pure, unadulterated snark. Nice insight.
Plus Xander tends to be a character that isn't well loved by those who hardcore 'ship B/A, S/A or B/S (oh, he's not reviled to Riley levels, but he takes his knocks.)I know! It's sad. I'm kinda weird in that my opinions about something in canon isn't always the way I feel about it in fandom/fic. For instance, I dislike Dawn in the show, but I like her in fic. I loved Willow and Xander in the show, but not only was I 'eh' about reading fic about them, I kinda even grew to dislike Xander for a while. I don't know what happened, because now I have been
