they want Xander in a complicated storyline.

I understand it. I felt the same about Spike on AtS. *sighs*

The fact that many fans think Xander isn't complicated enough to be Twilight is what irks them.

I see. I don't think he's not complicated enough to be a Big Bad. I thing he's not bad enough for that. I just can't come up with a convincing motivation for Xander to turn evil.

Pity the writers weren't strongly invested in the character.

I think it's not about investment. It's rather about the type he represents. He has to be good because he represents the humanity. The downside is that he can't be complicated enought to want to end the world.

But I'd like to read (or see in the TV show) a big Xander storyline with so much complex.

Right now I'm reading nwhepcat's story
Another Door. Fascinating stuff. nwhepcat came up with an inventive premise - in You're Welcome Cordelia kissed Xander and passed him her visions - creating an interesting, complex psychological situation without turning Xander into an evil guy. It's a sequel of Keeper of the Book and it's definitely worth reading. Besides, right now it goes in the Spander direction... :)
