You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But I've read too many comics to be happy with Lex cooperating with Superman.

It's a tough nut, the whole Lex-n-Supes thing (as distinct from the Lex/Clark thing, which is practically canon).

For myself (not that I'm writing any more than drabbles) my SV futurefic universe is all about the big painful breakup that leads to their eventually being nemesis-is-is-is-es. Because I have to make the totally obvious big-gay-love work with at least that basic level of Supes canon. And yet, as a reader, I'm an utter and complete sucker for C/L romance. One of those things where reading and writing tastes don't quite match up, I guess.

Hell, yeah, the combination seduction/literary epiphany made me think "Film this and show it every Christmas!" and brushed away such piddly things like over 50 years of comic book history. I was all "they're so sweet together, the cuties."

This should in Clex, I suppose, but how the hell am I going to explain to my surprisingly straight-laced Hubby that I watch a show with even more inconceivable plot structure than Buffy because I think the two main male characters are in love? Hubby does not appreciate the HoYay.

And I always come on these things a couple of years in, so now I have to catch up with everything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fay, do you have a link for "Paper"?

Not that I've checked (Tham's site is *way* work unfriendly), but her site is at slashaholics.org.

Edit: Okay, note to self. Make sure you know what the hell you're talking about before you jump in.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Paper by the wonderful, wonderful Hope. Lex/ink.

Mmmmmmm

If you go crossing disciplines and different labels, which "verse" do y'all think a Slayer would thrive in?

Whenever I watch an action flick or horror film I think about how certain characters would fit in the buffyverse. My previous posts here indicate my interest in crossovers. I just like how those dynamics would work. How would Buffy deal with Spawn? Is Sunnydale part of the Matrix? Can the Slayer bear the Witchblade?

I have never actually tried writing fanfic because time chases imagination -- I come up with stuff faster than it takes to write it coherently. So I sit on ideas for months and jot notes here and there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would love to toss the Witchblade on the Slayer -- not have her be one of the line, but rather a woman that can bear it, at a price. I like prices. Also, Pryces, but that's a whole nother kettle of OTP.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

When a Strawberry is Pushed into a Mountain, by Thamiris (SV, NC-17). Stuff like this is the reason I got into SV fandom in the first place. It's hot, it's beautiful, it's about poetry, and it hits every single kink button I own. Also, I really shouldn't be reading it at work.

Holy God. Hot hot hot. And yeah, high on my kink buttons, too.

Wrod! In fact I was just coming over here to pimp it too. First piece of SV I've read in months, but - sheesh. St Sebastian.

Poetry being written on skin.

Check.

Strawberries.

Check.

Hands being bound.

Check.

Day-um.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Oh, yeah. I like that. I think about WB a lot, how it can be moulded to fit into other 'verses.
