-Why didn’t we get to see a shirtless Angel holding baby Connor? *sob* -Does anyone at all love Kennedy? I don't mind the concept of Kennedy, but the actor made dismal choices. And I weep for the Tara returns plot that Amber Benson foiled by refusing to come back. -Why did they maul Charisma Carpenter’s hair Apparently it took too much time on set to style. *sob* -Can Angel (the character, not David Boreanaz) dance? Ooh, tricky. I wonder what others will say. DB has phenomenal physical intelligence, and he lends it to Angel. So I'd say yes. Except Angel *does* get self-conscious, and he's way more endearing when he is. -How come male actors don’t have chest hair any more? Do people really think it’s unsexy? Why? I like chest hair! But it's when they start trimming their armpits that I really can't take them seriously anymore.
Names/endearments/appellations
-What’re your views on using the term “childe” in a fic? Personally? Bleurgh. But I bet different vamps have different vocab. How about "vamplets"? -Am I the only one who’s uncomfortable calling actors by their first names when talking about them? No. I tend to use surnames or initials.
Lj etiqu
-If you’ve just friended someone new you met on lj, do you comment when they post about their personal lives Depends on the content, I guess, not to mention my free time. I do start commenting *more* as I get to know them. -Is it polite to friend someone without asking? I think so. I usually tack an, "I like you. Friending now," onto a comment just to be, well, friendly, but not always. -Is anyone else nervous posting to a community without being invited to? Heck, no. -Is it polite to rec someone without asking? Sure, who doesn't want to be recced? If they're unlikely to find it themselves, I let them know I've recced them, because who doesn't like to go and look and gloat? -Is having a paid account really worth it? Not for the dabbly stuff I do. I'm thrifty. -Do you feel awkward weighing in with your opinion on the lj of someone you haven’t friended or don’t know that well? Nah, not on fannish matters. I'm not shy. I don't *think* anyone's looked at me funny. How else am I supposed to get to know people and decide if I *want* to friend them?
Smut
-You’re reading an epicky fic with an interesting plot. Does a really long sex scene right in the middle bore you? At what point, really, does gratuitous smut become gratuitous? Smut has to be there for a reason. Even in a PWP, I want to learn something about the characters. (But *do* find a way to work that in!) -Has Angel ever been the sub partner in a D/s relationship (in fic, I mean)? Wes/Angel probably has some. He'd be sub for Darla. I *love* it when he bottoms, even if it's a temporary respite. -Wouldn’t it be kinda difficult for a human male to maintain an erection while being bitten and sucked on by a vampire? Snort.
