B. Is there a lot of Mary Sue RPF? Like Mary Sue meets Mister Actor at a con or something and they get it on? I don't want to read any; I'm just curious. I would think there would be but I've never seen any.
Apparently so, though I've seen next to none of it. One of the writers of AtS started out doing fanfic. And it was MarySue/DB fic. No shit.
C. What's the deal with pro writers who don't like fanfiction? Where do they get off? I guess I mean that kinda literally.
Their writing universally sucks ass.
E. How do you feel about...having the general subject of a post in brackets in the subject line? It always makes me think: "I should do that! Then I would have to go back and do that to every post. Dear god, am I really that anal? Is that person as anal as I am? OMG I'M NOT ORGANIZED" *frantic hyperventilating and quick scrolling past the post* Not really, but something like that.
I feel that way about tags. Right down to the hypervetilating. I deleted all my tags except for the one that says "fic", b/c my OCD went into overdrive at the thought of categorizing every godamn thing I have ever said on LJ since 2002.
G. Um. Will someone rec me, I mean, my friend, some long long long Harry-16-or-older Snape/Harry? NO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING EITHER.

BUFFYVERSE
I. What do Eve and Lindsey think to gain by putting the slug thing on Angel in "Soul Purpose"?
Lindsey wanted Angel out of the game permanently. He could never manage to kill him. This way, he could take Angel out, and maipulate Spike as the new Champ to do whatever Lindsey and Eve wanted.
J. Why isn't VK is S5? Seriously. Was it a money issue, a people not liking Connor issue, the writers not knowing what to do with Connor issue, or really just for the sake of plot issue?
Fod has the most thorough answer, above. I always find it weird that people use Concord as an excuse. Uhm, it was SUPPOSED TO BE GROSS, ya'll.
K. Does the idea of the S8 BtVS comics make anyone else sad? It depresses me and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I would not be upset if there was an S6 of AtS. I mean, I'm glad that there'll be L. more Buffy and that Whedon is doing it, but it feels kinda bittersweet to me, and that makes me feel like I'm being a spoil sport.
I don't like it either. Esp since the vamps are owned by another company, and therefore won't appear. It smacks of Joss trying desperately to convince us that the whole Potentials thing was a good idea. Too little, too late, and frankly, I just don't care. I stopped caring in S7, let alone a two-dimensional S8 and - uhm. Sorry. I might be bitter.
M. Can you name all the episodes of AtS and BtVS? If you can't, can you at least recognize all the episode names? If you can't, about how many ep names per season would you say you know? When I first got into this fandom I was shocked by how many people seemed to know the names of eps, but now most of the time when someone says one I know which ep they're talking about.
Yes,yes, I can. I can also tell you what Angel wore in most of the AtS eps. And look at a still of him and tell you what ep it's from. I have no life.
N. Could the dimension Angel goes to to get Jasmine's name be Quar'toth? The timing doesn't work out, huh?
Fuck canon, write it anyway.
RANDOM O. Do you like Rachel Ray? No. P. Do you like Oprah? God, no.
FIC
R. Do you mentally edit other people's fics when you read them?
All the time. It's annoying, and I wish I could stop.
S. How many days after you post a fic do you feel like the fic probably got most of the fb it's going to recieve?
2-3 days.
U. How much do you think about the A/N? Do you only think/write it after you finish, or do you sometimes compose it in your head/write it as you write your fic?
no subject
