mini revelation

[timepiececlock]

I've had a miniature semi-revelation.

I don't like Spander fic.

I kinda knew this before, and then I kinda convinced myself otherwise. I've read an assortment now (especially ficlets), by fic writing ladies that I adore and envy for their talent, but I just can't get excited by anything on the subject.

I think it might have to do with the fact that Xander, though cute, was always my least favorite Scooby character on BTVS, and I've never been that excited about him in the first place, except those time when he gets the good lines, and when it involves Anya. Other than that... nothin'.

I feel weirdly... liberated. Here I've been trying to latch onto Spander fic as everyone else seemed to, and deep down knowing it just wasn't working for me, but trying to get into it anyway.

Now that I know I actually don't like reading it, and can't imagine that it would ever happen whatsoever, I feel... reaffirmed.

You all keep writing it, because you're great. I'm just not going to read it.

I'm not a Spander!fic ho either. I'm not big into the slash. I'll read it (but only Spangel because that makes sense) if its secondary to a second greater ship (usually Spuffy).

It feels good to know that not everyone is a Spander fan.
