timepiececlockI'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.

Date: 2003-07-11 01:21 pm (UTC)I couldn't make myself read her fic either. Which is supremely strange in one way, because if you've read her Season Noir, there's a scene in that where Spike kisses Xander and says something like "Pass this message on to Buffy." All Xander did was continue to glare and him and then leave. And I loved that scene. I thought it was great. Then again, maybe not strange-- that was all about Spike and Buffy, and Spike pissing Xander off, so it wasn't really Spike/Xander much.
