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.

I can't even express how much I love it that you make the distinction.

Transfigurations by Resonant. HP 'verse futurefic, post-war. Malfoy/Potter, but plotty like a plotty plotty thing from plotville.

Lovely.

Huge wrod. I'm still composing a feedback letter for her. I'm counting the superlatives.

I do really think that it's important, actually-- because the whole point of poetry is that it has linebreaks, which are another kind of punctuation, another way to give shape to the words as they lie on the flat surface of the page. Poetry written on any sort of curved or jagged surface is redundant, and kind of awkward-feeling. I mean.
