Fanfic notes
I've been re-reading some of my own fic recently, which is surely one of the most self-indulgent things ever. But in between wincing at the editing mistakes and poor phrasing, I was struck by how mean the Kryceks that I write are. Really. It's amazing that the other characters don't band together to knock him over the head and dump the body in the bottom of a lake. I know I'm no hearts-and-roses redemptionista, but I'd forgotten what a bastard I made him. And you know he's the hero in these stories, right?
I've been thinking about my pairing preferences, as well, because it's not like there's a pattern or anything: Krycek/Marita, Jack/Irina, Wesley/Lilah (because if I could write Jossverse, I'd probably write that). Add on Mulder/Krycek, Syd/Lauren and a little Wesley/Angel and you can see where this is going. But when writing I'm actually struck not by the similarities but by how different all these relationships are. Krycek/Marita really ought to be more like Jack/Irina than it is.
And finally, I was looking around some recs for Homicide fic, and thought I'd read some Munch/Kay, because I adore Kay. Adore. This was a mistake, because the thought of John Munch naked freaks me out to no end. Urk. I had to go wash my mind out with bubble bath.
