Before I go to take a nap, let me throw some stuff at you guys.
1.
goldenusagi continues to be awesome and has done some more macros for my feminist Checkpoint rewrite. It's lulz-worthy, so go look!2. Also,
gillo's wanting to try out some B/A fics, so I thought I'd post some links to the B/A side of fandom. I'm afraid I don't have any individual fic recs as I haven't run across a B/A fic that rocked my boat enough to bookmark. But these links will take you to oodles of well-written Bangel fics that you can check out.-
chrisleeoctaves has a tag devoted to fic recs. She recs some other pairings sometimes, but it's mostly B/A.- B/A fandom has the IWRY ficathon and the archive for it is here. Bundles of oodles of B/A fics. Also, the top-level domain, Octaves of the Heart has a variety of different fanfic archives (again, containing a lot of B/A).
- Ducks' Fanfic is an author site with mostly B/A. Again, oodles of stories.
Hope that helps!

Um, not to be stuck up or something, but... Why? *scratches head* From my experience on the Internet at large, I was under the impression that shipping B/A was considered to be much more acceptable. (At least, B/A shippers aren't regularly accused of being rapist lovers and dangers to society. Ah, how I love being a proponent of the most controversial pairing in canon.) Although, this could be the old persecution complex rearing it's head ;)
One, is that, of course, they show broke Buffy and Angel up in S3 and allowed them to move on (and have sex) with other people. For some, this is a form of Joss-torture.
More reasonable, however, are the complaints of Bangel-shippers' treatment by fandom where they, apparently, are often dismissed as immature, pre-teen types with poor/boring taste or deluded in rooting for a ship that's stupid/over/lame or whatnot.
I don't know how it compares to reaction in fandom to the Spuffy shippers as, frankly, I'm more apt to notice people being douche-y towards Spuffy.
Yeah, I guessed this. But still, that's all just a matter of taste. (And super word to eowyn's comment below.) As for the other reason, I'm inclined to say 'OH WOE' and maybe break a window or something :)
