Subject: Checking in with some quick thoughts
In reply to: tweedisgood 's message, "Starting a thread here for B/Gers: please could that group read this?" on 11:24:25 07/27/02 Sat

I'm still playing catch-up on my fanfic reading, but here are some quick thoughts on what I think we should be aiming for in our first selection (much of which has already been brought up):
-I'd like something as close to canon and the show as possible as opposed to AU, just because it sets the ship somewhere that people are already familiar with (and since we don't have the most popular ship, why give people too much new stuff to deal with)
-I'd also like to keep it post-highschool because I think we all saw the stuff that came up on the boards a month or two ago surrounding a Dawn/Spike ship

Can't think of anything else at the moment. Off to do more reading. I just finished "Destination Unknown," which I quite liked, and I'll check back in a couple of days; possibly with a rec or two.

Totally agree on the keep it out of High School. I prefer those anyway, making an exception only for Anne Manley Haight because of her great background reasons and characterisation. Although I love it I can't rec e.g. Autumnal Equinox as a fic to share: Buffy's only 17 (which is legal in England) and it's pretty much wall to wall sex for several chapters
Also on the close to canon. A/U is fun but as you say we need to keep the unfamiliar to a minimum.
