Re: Will SOMEONE explain the Appeal of B/S to me? -- Kelso, 16:30:59 07/20/02 Sat

Well, I have some possibilities for you. There's a site called Dead shell that bills itself as "a place for those of us that realize that the Spike/Buffy relationship isn't normal, isn't good, and certainly isn't healthy." This site does not sound like my thing at all so I haven't read any of the stories there, but it might be just what you're looking for. http://ficbitch.com/deadshell/

It's all about the subtext, babe. (Hee.)
No, actually, I hear you on this. And I write slash. Well, when I'm not getting bogged down in plot, I write slash. Of Ye Good Olde Fanged Four variety, with our boy Will getting hammered into the mattress by Bad Dad Angelus, and I have to say I am of many minds about it.
I know what you're saying about the faintly (or frankly) ridiculous aspect of any non-canon relationships, and slash is probably at the top of the ridico-list, from a sane and sober point of view. There are certainly moments when the oddness of what I'm doing strikes me, and I start to giggle. But you're also right--there are writers who can make me believe the unbelievable, like S/X. (*cough*Te*cough*) Or, if not believe it, at least happily indulge it for a span of time. And certainly it does come down to what floats your boat; slash floats mine, so I am perhaps more patient with it than less perverted souls might be.
There's also the fact that the subtext (god bless it) isn't all in our heads; the writers know full well what they do. It's here, there, and everywhere; BtVS and Angel are mighty gay shows at times. And if they're going to flirt delicately around the edges with pink motorcycle helmets and hound dog gazes and throwing-each-other-up-against-the-wall, I say damn the torpedoes.
Wait--this was a thread about Spuffy, right? I don't know, Majin Gojira. I don't get it either.
Coquette, pervert
