xpost. Heh.

Great minds, yada yada. *g*

"Clint Eastwood", Gorillaz?

I think so. All my vids are at the home computer and I have mind like a sieve. It's the one with the refrain, "The future is coming on", showing transformation of each characters through the seasons. Kind of sad and creepy and wonderful all at the same time. Great vid.

I think the Xander vid was called "Twilight"--something.

Yup. That's "Clint Eastwood."

Lizard! Are you excited? *I* got excited just reading your Beep Me post.

I'm *incredibly* excited. Or, y'know. Yesterday after finally getting my parents to sign off on it I was ecstatic. This kind of happy is like being on drugs, like constant shocks of pleasure through my body.

But now *her* parents who had been behind it all along have suddenly decided they don't want to do it. Now we're working on them. (And I'm kind of going, Man, you can't do that, three days before I'm going to visit you, reverse what you'd been saying for months. I already took time off work, told everybody I'd be going, I'd almost bought the ticket. ... Meep.)

{{RL}} I'll send you plan-working-out vibes.

To try and be on-topic, why is it that nobody understands when I try and explain that I don't like Buffy/Willow because it's too het, too canon, too possible?

I just read the Muppet fic and Herself's fic in one big gulp. My brain is spinning. Amazing stuff. I loved, loved, loved Herself's story.

Deena - have you read the rest of her stuff? At Buggerthis.org? If not, hie thee hence at once! She's to die for. (Also remarkably lovely in person.)

I don't think I understand the "het" part of that position intuitively-- but it sounds very intriguing. Would you like to articulate it further?

Fay, I don't think I'd read anything else by Herself before. That story was just amazing. I'm seething with jealousy now. I will hie me to that site and read more, but I can't at the moment. I have to make lunch for some little person who is unhappy with her hungry tummy.

Also, Plei? You asked if I wanted you to beta. I think it's pretty well done, but if you see something wrong with it, go ahead and fix it.

Deena - it's here . She writes wonderful, wonderful Buffy/Spike. Wonderful. And she took on several Badfic cliches to see if they could be done well (Time travel Buffy/William, PregnantBuffy, MomBuffy, AmputeeBuffy...) and spun the most wonderful stories. She's splendid. I've been in love with her stories since she wrote Manhattan Nocturne off the cuff in Bitchfic. Way to delurk!

bemused.

See, I'm okay with things being het, canon and possible, and indeed any combination of the above. Fond though I am of slash. I'm a bit foxed by your reasoning, though, I must confess. Is it that a big part of the appeal of slash for you is the sense of subversion?
