Questions Post #10
-Why did they fuck with Spike and Angel's ages so much? Were they really just not paying attention to what had come before, or were there reasons all the dates got switched around?
-Ok, is it completely OFF to think Spike might like musicals? There's that "76 trombone" line, and he's seen Les Mis in order to tell Angel it's not all that. Any other proof?
-Can Angel ice skate? Don't you think when he asked Buffy to ice skate in What's My Line Part 1 he meant to skate himself? Can David Boreanaz ice skate? How come there's not more cheesy ice!fic? I...I wrote a fic in which Angel says he's going to teach Connor to skate. It was an accident!
-How do you you prefer chapters to be doled out in long fics? Do you want 'em short, so you can zip through 'em? Do you want them just as long as it takes, to cover a scene or get to the point, whether it's 2 pages or 20? Or do you like them long?
-How about the posting of long fics? I've learned from experience a bunch of people stay away from WIPs, but what if *ahem* someone had a really long *finished* fic--would you still want them to post a chapter at a time? How have other people handled this in the past?
-I know writers are whores and always like in depth fb. But as an fb-er do you ever feel slightly uncomfortable leaving extremely long fb? What if the writer replies to your fb, and you want to reply back, does it feel weird having a long conversation in the fb thread of the story? What if the conversation has veered into meta/squee/something not fb, do you ever feel like the writer might not want to talk about it there because it's in the fb thread?
-Picture Anya in your head really quick. Did you think of her as bright blonde/dirty blonde/honey-light-brunette/dark brunette? Short or midlength hair? Curly or straight?
-Is there any change in Anya's soul/conscience/sense of morality/etc when she turns from a demon to a human, and vice versa?
-Has anyone ever done any meta/had an explanation for why Anya liked Wishverse? In "The Wish", she says it's both "wonderful" and "exciting". Of course there's that difficulty establishing her soul/conscience etc as a demon, and also they weren't very careful with Anya as a character there because they didn't know/weren't sure she'd play such a big role later. But later she does talk about enjoying doing awful things to men, but she doesn't at all seem to be a personality that enjoys chaos.
-So. Anya's power source, that necklace. In "The Wish", does she give it to Cordelia? But later, she's wearing it, and Giles has to take it off of her in order to smash it? Is anyone else confused by this?
-What do birds say to each other?
-Am I the only one who likes fake food? Extremely processed food, where you know you can't pronounce a single ingredient? Just me and Xander? Anyone?
-Did you see X3? Did you like it?
-When people write of zee fantasy land nothing recognizable AU, why oh why don't they just write of zee original fic? Srsly.
P.S. When making Angel into a merman or fairy or Renaissance princess, please keep in mind that David Boreanaz has huge ass motherfuckin shoulders. When God made that man's shoulders, he was actually making a door. Then he thought, how about a head on this door? And so he built a head, and said to himself, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost, that is one motherfucking pretty head!" So he added pretty hands and pretty hips and pretty calves to match, but he forgot and left the door part of the shoulders, and to this day that is why David Boreanaz has trouble fitting through doors. And also why when you give him wee slender sloping downward shoulders when you make him into a horsie or blacksmith or bird-man, the baby Jesus motherfuckin cries.
PPS. He also made a pretty pretty neck. I love that neck.

2) He likes Passions. Why wouldn't he like musicals? Dunno if he would admit it though.
3) I think so. He's been around long enough to learn, and he must have spent time in Northern Europe.
4) Don't have a preference, I trust the writer.
5) A WIP, with a constant schedule is very exciting and probably the best way to bring attention. A gingle post, all finished is great too, but less comments.
6) Depends on the writer. If I know them, I have zero problems having long conversations in the FB thread. It's LJ, it's made for discussions.
7) She's nude! :) Huh, blonde-ish, slightly curly, to the shoulders.
8) Nope. A vampire changes, the demon absorbs the memories but isn't the same person, but that's not what happens to vengeance demons. They remain, pretty much, the same, though living for so long, with their powers and separate from people would make them pretty alien to a normal person.
9) Dunno, though I don't think it's hard to explain. Anya loved a vengeance. Dead men. Loads of dead men. That the wisher died didn't concern her. The Wishverse was a job well done, with lots of dead men.
10) Don't remember her giving it to Cordelia.
11) "Who's the better target? That bald dude?"
12) Hum, I like a few things, but usually I like my food to be something found in nature.
13) Saw it, liked it as an action flick, it's okay but not great.
14) Because ze French Nobleman Spike can be instantly identified, with ze writer only needing to change some attributes, all other attributes and expected behaviours are already expected. French Nobleman Spike likes a spot of violence? Of course! Spike is a poet? Mais oui! Will Baron Spike fall for Countess Buffy the English spy, France's worst enemy, the Chosen One of the English Crown? Obviously!
I'd prefer it if they wrote original fic though, less crap to clutter the Buffy fanfiction places. :)

5. Ha! Yeah, that's the way I was thinking about it, from the whorish want fb writer stand point. It's possible that as a reader, though, I'd just want it all at once.
7. Hahahah!
9. She did have a thing for punishing men. The thing was, men and women were both punished fairly equally in Wishverse. Also, eliminating Buffy like that put the Master, a man, in power, and the strongest woman, Buffy, out of power. As a woman who liked to see men grovel, it doesn't make sense to me.
13. That's pretty much how I felt about it.
14. I meant completely unrecognizable AUs, in which the characters don't actually behave the same. I mean, you see the name and expect certain attributes and sets of behaviors, and the physical description is there (sometimes, when Angel's not a mermaid and Spike's cheekbones aren't slashing Buffy to ribbons), but the behaviors are completely different. Although I really like you cracked out French AU ;o)

It's Spuffy, yuck! :) You can pair Spike with almost any character, and I'm okay with it, but not Buffy, Dawn or Willow (or Xander, Giles or Robin).
9) Was the Russian Revolution good for women and bad for men? Or pretty much equally good and bad?
Anya, or better Anyanka, doesn't care about humans. Doesn't even see them as being something she should care about. True, she might enjoy making men suffer, but she's not some female champion, "Oh, this wish caused pain to females, I must change it!", nope, men suffer, yay! Women suffer? Less yay, but still, yay!
Anyanka and Anya is a very disturbing character, because I think she's worse than Angelus, but she's played with none of the menace, almost all comedy, so you like her and forget she's pretty much the worst character (as far as having a negative impact in human history) in the show, if you forget the FE (tell me how if you manage it, laughable villain that it is).
no subject
Although, at the end of the day, Anyanka is still D'Hoffryn's bitch.
