This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
I think this is the best reason to write fic, to try and make sense of the ideas in your head that aren't quite explained on the show.
Absolutely. And I think that's why the bunnies I get -- and especially the ones I actually chase down -- are almost always of the fill-in-the-gaps, mine-the-subtext, get-in-the-character's-head type, rather than anything that's too terribly AU. (YficMV, as always.)
And dudes, fear my hyphens!
Heh. For me, I think this is the best reason to write fic, to try and make sense of the ideas in your head that aren't quite explained on the show.
Oh, yeah. And, well, I may be AU's bitch at the moment, but I swear I have reasons for every single one of them.
(like making Buffy and Wesley have sex and interact)

Oh no (or well - no - not just that). In Plei's gargantuan fic she's just put up (un-Beta-d, but it doesn't need it - really) she made me glad canon!Giles was silent after his visit with the Eye of Beljoxa. She used an explanation I've seen us bandy about in this thread during episode explication, but she wrote it into the story so well, that it fixed canon for me, and made me appreciate how that thread was carelessly dropped in canon.
Gah.
I'm on a big Plei high this morning.

Huh. I have a massively long car ride to look forward to Saturday, and another one Sunday.
I might even get this puppy closer to a finished state.
But that's the thing, you see. There are so many threads dropped, for time or what have you, that could be interesting, that part of my AU love right now is just running with them.
Yes. And in this AU of yours, it really works. And it's gorgeous. Really Plei, I read it in the wee small hours and am sorry I didn't read more slowly. Gah.
I think you got up just as I was crawling into bed last night.
This feels like the wee hours to me. I'm too old for 5/6 hour nights, I fear.

I think I was born too old for them, and yet they keep on happening to me.

I *used* to be able to do 5/6 hours and have it feel like a full night's rest. Only a 2/3 hour night would do me in. I hate having lost that ability.
