timepiececlockSpuffy fantasy fiction is evil.
I don't know why I get sucked in reading it. Most of it is terrible, and the best ones are only alright, or half-decent.
Even the ones with better writing style often have terrible plots.
It's horribly mushy. 9.5 tines our of 10 Spike is dramatically out of character. The saccahrine levels are so high I feel I need an insulin shot after reading it. And always, always, Spike is portrayed as the perfect boyfriend material who is drastically unnapreciated by Buffy (who is either dating Riley or Angel at the time) until she comes to her senses and a) jumps him, or b) asks him to the prom.
Ick.
And yet, I still read some of them.
Though, to be fair, Zarrah's new fic Blast from the Past does have good, hot smut. And it's not set in High School, which helps.
