I do use the fandom word "childe" though. It's so hard not to, though. I hate that there wasn't a term for it on the show.
So I think the general consensus is that their blood circulates very slowly Interesting theory!
(it's a mystical thing, best not thought to closely about it, like Spike's age or the fact that Angelus can grow facial hair but Spike, even when he gets captured for long periods of time, doesn't even grow stubble). I asked about this on a forum not too long ago. Actually, the question was why didn't Angel grow facial hair when he was locked in a box at the bottom of the ocean? Someone said maybe because he didn't have any blood to drink, but I think the conclusion we came to is that vampire's can grow their hair (or not) at will. Weird, but that's actually the best solution I see to the writers' inconsistencies.
If you're looking for Andrew het fics, google "Funnel Cakes and Flying Monkeys," the Andrew fiction archive. Some links to it are dead, though, so you have to look around for it. I wasn't really looking, but thank for the heads up on the archive. ;o)
Angel wears eyeliner in fics? Really? Why was I not aware? Angel does not wear eyeliner in any fic that I have seen. However, Angelus used to wear it so viewers could more easily differentiate him from Angel, though a2zmom tells me they stopped doing this in S4 of AtS. The show itself never commented on the make-up--it was supposed to be subtle, just to make his eyes darker and scarier--but I always thought the idea of Angel not only changing his dressing style but applying cosmetics because he didn't have a soul really amusing.
