Wash ,'The Message'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I've found that good unconventional/non-canon fic is usually (nine times out of ten) better than good conventional/canon fic, simply because the author has fewer shortcuts available, yet more room to play.
(Though *cough* I do keep forgetting that TECHNICALLY, Buffy/Faith's not canon...)
Hmm...good point. I've only read a smattering of non-canon fic. A lot of it felt, like I said, forced and just not what I was looking for.
(Though *cough* I do keep forgetting that TECHNICALLY, Buffy/Faith's not canon...)Your Buffy/Faith reads like canon. I think that's what I need for non-canon fic--that it works off of something well established in the canon.
(just because that whole episode was lame and should never have happened except for the sub-plot w/ the Burkles).
And don't forget "Ciao!"
The only lengthy piece of fic I ever read was Cicatrix (sp?), which rocked something fierce. Verrry dark, though.
Buffy/Giles is a HUGE squick for me. Way way way more than Batman/Robin (whichever Robin you choose).
I think it’s sexism, really. It’s kind of like the way I have no problem with Lex/Clark, but the idea of Lex/Chloe is unpleasant.
As it played out, he was more like a stepfather that just never had a Relationship with her mother, I think.
They had sex. On the hood of a police car. TWICE (sorry, just watched Earshot with a friend this weekend)
That's why I capitalised the R in Relationship, Vortex.
A one night stand does not a Relationship make.
Thank God.

Thank God.
But Otto, what about our relationship?
Fuck that shit!
You asshole! I'm glad I tortured you!

har.
Is that the textual equivalent of a non-verbal cue?
It's not the age difference, but the roots of the relationship, that bothers me.
Hmm. This might be why I get squicked by Batman/Dick-Grayson-as-Robin but Batman/Tim Drake hardly bothers me at all.
