Dude, Spike/Ed fic just creeps me out. For Cowboy Bebop fic I mean. Especially since the writers seem to think they're all rebellious and strong-stomached for writing a controversial pairing.

And yet I never see any Jet/Ed pairings, which would be jsut as bad but no worse. I want to yell at the Spike/Ed people "If you're so rebellious and self-cool because you write a cotnroversial pairing, why are you writing Jet/Ed? Because Jet is too much like her father-figure, and it would be ooky, right? Yeah. So much for your rebellious nature."

On the other hand, I read a fic recently where Ed had a crush on Spike (who was as expected totally oblivious). That amused me a great deal because they had her very in character in that she reacted like you'd expect Ed with a crush at 13 to act-- oddly.

it creeps me out too. to me it's just like whatever. like they've created a totally new character, an OC Ed which is never that interesting. i don't know. the older versions of Ed that a lot of authors have concocted end up being kind of boring. it kills the whole idea of Ed.

and yeah. :D

...for a moment there, my brain conjured up terrifying images of a BtVS/FMA crossover. *g*

IMO, the best stories are the ones where people write about what they love, what speaks to them, instead of whatever they think will get them considered cool and 'cutting-edge' in fandom.

I know. It's worse the older she gets... the fics where she's 16 or so aren't as bad as the fics where she's 20 or so, you know?
