I do think Yahtzee is someone who has malleable characters - she's written a couple of different Buffys, for instance. I wonder if that's part of what PMM's noticing.

(Note that I do not think this is a bad thing, at all - I don't think she's ever written a Buffy that I disbelieved, and she's hard to do right and do right by.)

And the evil Farscape fans (whom I love) have now planted Giles meets Aeryn in my head and it won't go away! There is no sex but I think extensive intellectual warfare might work.

No no no, see, PMM's going to write Crichton/Wesley. Which I realize is kind of an uphill battle, but c'mon, Plei! You'll love it. It'll be fun! Just because it's a crossover with a fandom you're not in...

Mme Lizard? Insent.

Thanks, darling. I'll be full of the slashy Christmas cheer, or something.

I hope I am not part of the reason why you feel like you should keep your mouth shut! I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable by joining the discussion, and I am sorry if I did.

Hee. Well, feeling less of a misanthrope, now, and to be honest, it's sort of a pile of: comment somewhere and either a: have it become some larger discussion I hadn't intended or b: see the actual comment elsewhere outside of the original context or c: comment as part of an offhand set of comments and have it turn into more than that.

So, it's no one thing, rather a set of them that have been making me want to curl under my desk and say "never talking again. ever. ever." Plus, you know, holidays.

It's partly that, and partly that when she has a firm grasp on a character, it's firm enough that a more slippery one stands out all the more. There have been Buffys I've believed completely, and a couple (TUG) where I didn't, at all. YBMV.

In the event that someone has decided to get me Farscape DVDs, this remains possible. SA, hon, if you're reading this... any progress on the HCL/AtS? You were the last one holding the ball. Pun intended.

If someone writes me good Willow/Dru I will make them a very nice present.
