I don't know either - I'm not really all that fond of non-canon relationships, to be honest. In another fandom, like Stargate SG-1, for example, where there are at most one or two canon relationships, I can understand making them up, but in Buffy, we've got so many to choose from, I just don't get it.

Still, I'd like to make a guess...and, to B/S shippers, that's all it is, a guess. No offence is intended.

There are many upsides to Spike's character. He's funny, he's clever, he's extremely wise - these days, the fact that he's also a demon is rarely demonstrated on the show, thanks to the chip. So I think B/S shippers may be seeing the upsides to Spike's character, and downplaying the downsides. The good sides of Spike are a pretty good match for Buffy, after all.

Toodle Pip,

Werrf

He's the underdog. Everyone hates him. He's a no-good-nick. But he tries so hard and gets kicked every single time. I have a thing for the underdog. I'm mental, I know.
