So, since it's a holiday, I'm reducing my normal fare to two questions.

Does Spike's head look like a Ken doll to anyone else? )

Not only does Spike's head look like a Ken doll (now that you mention it) but it looks like the one my best friend owned after her bother chewed the nose off!

1. Kerfuffles where people were reduced to a bunch of bitchy 11 year old girls. I think lots of people are too sensitive and people don't undrestand that "tone of voice" is often not what we think it is in lj.

2. New wonderful writers. Like you and lostakasha

tone of voice

Ha, that's a good way to put it. But I have similar issues even in rl--sometimes I think my tone of voice sounds not how I mean it to sound, or even not how I feel. I guess I sound annoyed and pissed off a lot.

Like you and lostakasha

Aw, thanks. And isn't lostakasha awesome? She kindles my Cordy love.

Oh yeah, and so glad you agree about the Ken doll. He uses way more product than Angel, but Angel's always the one who gets the crap about it. But! JM has a nose, so I'm not sure how the nose-chew Ken doll fits in...

*waits for doll!spike fic*

Actually, there's a fic at AFF.N with the summary: "An author has fun with her Spike action figure..." It's got me so scared...and yet, strangely fascinated.

I wonder if Spike's head is removeable the way Ken's was. And the ken doll I had had flocked hair that was glued on (a crewcut.) I am disturbed by this whole discussion now.

1. Bad slash fic. With accompanying artwork. I name no names. Sweeping generalizations in the form of "essays" regarding other people's motivations for what they write. I name no names. The drift out of Jossverse fandom now that canon is closed.

2. Good slash fic. Like yours, and Germaine Pet's. The trip to NYC to see VK NAKEDOMG. The immense support from fandom when my family struggled with health and money issues. The mere existance of gorgeous, smart, funny women who read LJ.

Spike IS a Ken doll. Except he's anatomically correct, so he gets points.

Come to cogitate on it, you don't really need to.

Like yours, and Germaine Pet's

Thanks. And! Iirc, it was a rec of yours that led me to Angels and Insects, and started me on a S/A A/C A/C/S downward slope of love. Plus, germain_pet. Just...special. So, thanks!

The trip to NYC to see VK NAKEDOMG

I skimmed your post about Slag Heap when you posted your year in review, but somehow I missed the NAKED, OMG. Lucky you. I'm going to go reread your post and drool second hand.

The mere existance of gorgeous, smart, funny women who read LJ.

Ain't it grand? I've already admit I'm the cheesiest of cheese, so it won't hurt my image to say that every day, it surprises me.

Spike IS a Ken doll.

You're looking for wee!doll!Spike with which Angel plays to get his big massive cock off, aren't you? *waits for the manip of Angel's big massive cock wearing wee!doll!Spike's leather jacket*

I linked to the VK Slag Heap post. You should read

She's his No. One Fan 4Eva OMG.

Yep. Before I knew ros_fod, I knew that. It just shines through her ;o) Definitely will read.

We may call him a boy, but parts of him are all MAN I tell you.

Glad to hear he is anatomically correct as well.

I'm proud to have contributed to your downfall. Please fill my name in on the form, so I can redeem my points for the free porn toaster oven.

Oh, definitely. You and germaine_pet deserve the biggest, porniest toaster ovens they have in stock. And I think you get a complimentary tea cozie for being one of my biggest inspirations in fic. I don't necessarily know what a tea cozie is, but I bet you want one.

1. Fairy Spike and related phenomena. Mostly related to quality issues, however. Also disrespecting other cultures for crack fic issues. *is a snob like whoa*

2. New friends. Revived fandoms (due South). Good fic.

I think Fairy Spike is winning!

And word to the revived fandoms. I love going back and feeling the love all over again.

1. Kerfuffles and wank of all kinds, although I refuse to mention any specific ones cuz it brings back annoyed-with-people feelings, and I want to be happy! It's 2006!

2. Lots. New friends, new fics, new kinks, new beloved pairings... the list goes on.

I'm good with bringing the vague tonight.

And Spike's head totally looks like a Ken doll!

Strangely, kerfluffles and wanks are really enjoyable to me. I hate seeing people being cruel, people getting hurt, and people being stupid. I really do hate it and wish it wouldn't happen. But, with some mixture of shame and amusement, I have to admit I kinda get a kick outta watching them anyway.

New kinks--that's a good one! I love reading a fic and finding a kink I didn't know I had.

So glad you agree with the Ken doll. When I said JM as William looked like a young Patrick Stewart, everyone thought I was nuts, and I feared people would say the same with this...but it really, really looks flat and plastic, like a Ken doll.
