Giles thoughts = Possible Plot Bunny

[dragonydreams]

This morning the scene in season seven where Xander is joking around that he wants to be gay because he seems to only attract female demons and Giles snapped at him popped into my head. The logical reason for Giles' reaction being that he's offended because he's a closet homosexual, or at least bi-sexual

Ooooh, interesting. O.O

I'm glad you think so. It certainly would be a good explanation for their animosity.

I have the most random fanfic thoughts in the shower.

[cornerofmadness]

interesting and yes I always assumed Giles at least experimented with bisexuality

[dragonydreams]

I immediately thought of you when I got this idea, because you've written some great young Ripper fics.

thanks

You know...that makes a LOT of sense!

You've gotta love random shower epiphanies. As much as I love Giles/Ethan fics, this would be an interesting alternative to their animosity.

[velvetwhip]

There's nothing wrong with exploring alternate perspectives, that's for certain.

Hmmmm... I don't know, because eversince someone, I don't remember who though, was trying to convince me that there is SO much Giles/Willow subtext, I don't remember what they said either, but since then they have converted me, I can't thnik of Giles as gay... maybe bi... but still I think of him with willow...

[dragonydreams]

LOL. Don't get me wrong, I still love Giles with Willow. But every once in a while I crave a good Giles/other male fic. His past, with the whole drugs & magick rebellion he went through, just begs for some sexual experimentation.

When I first started reading G/W fic, I couldn't stand to read him with a man - either alone or in a threesome. Eventually I read some fun Giles/Willow/Ethan and Giles/Willow/Spike fics, then read some without Willow in the mix. *grin*

Hahaha, I think it was YOUR fic that I first read Giles/Willow/Spike... I didn't think I would like the idea of the pairing, but, I guess when the writer know what they're doing it can change the readers oppinion...

[dragonydreams]

That's my favorite thing about writing! Getting people to try new things. My G/W/S series got a lot of fun reactions from both the people used to my W/G fics and my W/S fics.

It does make sense, doesn't it? After all, love and hate are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
