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 like your icon a lot, but it's moving too fast for me to really read. I want to turn down the speed dial one it.

You can use the icon. :) I made it as one of four slides for a spuffy icon with a poem from Hamlet:

Doubt thou the stars are fire
Doubt that the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar *
But never doubt I love

The the truth line was this icon base. I just uploaded the base this time cause I like that picture of Punk!Spike, and thought it went nicely over the alley picture. Like the ghost of Spike's nature as a Slayer of Slayers is hanging between them.

Tell me if you make the icon. I might want a copy. ;)
