Here's the weird thing about me and my writing. You wanna hear the weird thing? I'm gonna assume you nodded. Anyway.

Angel is my boy. I love him, I feel him, I get him, I carry his freakin banner to all fen everywhere and in meta and conversation, don't you say bad things about my boy because I will essay you to death about why he is the Champion man, and I will make you FEEL IT. But in fic, I tend to write him as a way less sympathetic character than Spike.

Yea, I don't get that either. Because I love Spike, and I feel Spike, and I still...don't always like Spike. And I have a clear preference for the other guy. But in my fic, Spike typically winds up being - hmm...nicer is too simplistic a word. But certainly easier to love. And again, I have no idea why that is. I don't feel the need to overcompensate, or try harder, or please anyone other than myself when I write. But it ends up this way over and over again.

I could write fluffy Spuffy easier than fluffy B/A and I don't even LIKE Spuffy, and I would go down on the B/A ship.

And aside from this last fic of mine, which I feel like was kind of cheating because it was Buffy talking mostly about her feelings for the two vampires, I can't write Buffy for shit and she is my hero times ten.

I am a ball of confusion.
