FayJay in NAFDA Angel (non-spoilery):
Captain Logic is not just absent from the wheel of the Slayer Raison D'etre Tugboat, he's slit his own throat, flung himself overboard and been devoured by ravenous Screaming Eels of Sentimental Guff.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

My first (and only) experience with RPS was "huh. This is about Gillian Anderson, not Scully? Weird, I wonder what... oh, now she's getting on the Internet. And looking at... M/S fanfic... and... oh God what is she doing with her hand? Back, back, back!" It felt rather like someone had lost their grip on the separation between actor and character, and it gave me the icks.
t edit Although, RPF, not RPS.

From NAFDA Angel, I don't think it's spoilery, but I'm whiting-out, for just-in-case:
Alibelle: Look, when making a heist, you don't dress for practicality, silly. You wear heels, skin tight clothes, big tousled hair, and show cleavage, because female thieves are sexy.
joe boucher: No, no, no -- it's completely practical.
Police: "What did she look like?"
Witness: "Big hair, lotta lipstick, not a lotta clothes."
Police: "Tall? Short? Big build? Thin?"
Witness: "Thin, very thin... but curvy. Had big heels on so I couldn't tell how tall she was."
Police:"White? Black? Asian?"
Witness: "Her stomach wa very white. Didn't get much of a look at her head beyond the hair and lips."
Police: "Distinguishing characteristics?"
Witness: "Nice rack."
Police: "I was thinking more along the lines of birthmarks, scars, tattoos."
Witness: "Uhhh..."
Police: "Eye color? Hair color?"
Witness: "Sorta... and... She was pretty hot."
Policeman sighs, shakes head.
Lesson: if you're going to commit a crime go with the fetish wear, the more distracting the better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(Psst -- it's not white)

Oh, sorry! Is it white now? It's something about the order of the HTMLs, I think. And I can't make it look OK, no matter how I play with it.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It's white now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nutty and Victor in Buffy 1:
F. Scott Fitzgerald had an editor. Ernest Hemingway had an editor. These men are both dead. Therefore, editors are fatal.
Well, duh. I could have told you THAT.
I AM AN EDITOR! FEAR ME PUNY MORTAL WRITERS! BRING ME ALE AND SOME SUCCULENT BABIES, SO I MAY SATE MYSELF AND MAKE MERRY WITH YOUR MORE ATTRACTIVE WOMEN!!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Nutty:
I hate showing my work. I discovered this in geometry, when my proofs would be 10 pages long and also prove that the earth is round, all soda is Coca Cola, and staplers are the tool of the devil. And then I'd get to class and discover that everyone else had done it in three lines.

shrift, in Natter
My handwriting is schizophrenic. It starts off okay, it's taking the lithium and pressing neatly along, but then it forgets a pill or two, starts hearing voices, gets paranoid and cramped, then scrawls off into oblivion.

From Angel.
Vortex And I thought she had more chemistry with Angel than Cordy.
the funky round couch in the lobby has more chemistry with Angel than Cordy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EMILY: She was a sixteen-year-old boy's dream girl, except with practical breasts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ted r: "I could deal with seeing more of Gwen--but also seeing less of the fetish wear."
More of Gwen and less fetish wear. So that would be like, naked, right?
Says my inner "sixteen year-old boy."
victor infante: My inner sixteen-year-old boy is playing "Magic: the Gathering" with ted's inner sixteen-year-old boy.
Cindy:You boys are going to go blind if you keep playing at that.
