Well, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to me than B/A, let me tell you that. But on the subject of B/S, I'll admit that the prospect is seemingly far-fetched and bizarre.

However, you just can't beat a good story. I think that what draws so many writers to the pairing is the complexity of it- how it isn't a cut-and-dried situation like the whole 'star-crossed lovers' shebang but rather something so fraught with ambiguity as to lend itself to many different interpretations. The whole affair is so riddled with contradictions and paradoxes that working it out can be as fascinating or as trying as a moebeus (sp?) loop.
