Right. Because an ex-boyfriend getting married to a perfect woman and having a perfect marriage makes you feel better about him getting suck jobs from vampire whores. Not that I speak from experience on this.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hey, Plei. The Finalized version of "The Resurrection Gambit" is insent.
The beast finally came in at 28 pages. It's not fan fic. It's a bloody novella.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Um, you'd have to take that one up with Joss. My entire point was that it sure as shit wouldn't absolve in my world, but it seemed to in the Jossiverse.
Of course, in my world, Spike would have eaten his head.

It's a bloody good fanfic novella.
Drusilla? Drusilla was locked up. Nothing would help her, but Oz still sat with her almost every day. He seemed to think she wasn’t a lost cause. He’d just sit there, and listen while she ranted at him. This seemed to soothe her.
I love the idea of Oz just sitting with Dru and listening to her. Similar to how he used to listen to Willow babble until she quieted down. It just fits.
Can't wait for the link so I can go back and read it all again.

Oh, sure, Deb. I was mocking the Jossverse, not you.

(whew) I'd hate to think anyone thought I'd absolve that.
Because honestly, in my universe? I am Giles' bitch, but what he did to Buffy was much worse than what Angelus did to him. Angelus did it with the "balance" half (caring, goodness) taken out of the free will section (yes, that sounds fuzzy, but I sort of know what I mean). Giles weakened his slayer, the girl even the COW idiots recognised as the one he regarded as his child, endangered her and took her weapons away first, lied to her, and he did it all with free will, because he was "following orders."
I don't like the whole "I was just a grunt, doing what I was told" thing, in any situation. I don't give a damn why he obeyed. Yo, Rupert, here's tea and scones. Got brain?
Feh.

In theory I might agree with you, but there's the physical and emotional torture, not to mention the girlfriend neck snapping, to consider... Plus which, you know, GILES...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Er. I don't get it. There's plenty of fic that's long. Even I, who do not tend to write long, have one I'm in the middle of that's around 40 pages.

Oh, maybe it's just me, then. Most of them seem much shorter when I read them. I think it's that it seems a bit long for, say, an average short story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Don't worry about the length -- I've seen fic from one word right up to novel-length.
