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.

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.

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

Mmmmmmm

Gah.

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.

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.

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.

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

(I actually tend to think that prose, written on skin, is a lot hotter than poetry written on skin.)

Fair enough. I can't say that I have a preference, as such - it's words, words, words that hit my buttons.
