Points of Fandom

- The Powers must have a suicidal vampire champion here in Texas or something because it's snowing AGAIN. Third time this year. I don't know what to believe in anymore.

- Read a few S6 Bangel fics. Apparently, the Buffy/Spike sex was all about...Angel. *headdesk*

- After reading several Xander fics, I've come to the conclusion that Xander, as a character, bores me to tears. I like him...I just don't find him very interesting.

- Every time I think I've seen the strangest pairing possible, I come across something even stranger. Fandom, you never disappoint.

- To follow up on that: Devon? Really, fandom? Devon? A character that maybe had ten lines throughout the entire series gets oodles of fic written about him, but I can barely find any Robin Wood fics? What's the deal? Dude, he got bitten by Spike!!! The subtext is right there! Am I gonna have to write this Robin/Spike slash myself?

- While I've gotten a ton done on meta this Spring Break, I was largely unproductive with regards to fanfics. I just don't have my fic-brain on, I guess. I'm sorry.

Re: *goes there*
After all, even Riley gets a lot of attention from Spuffy writers, even if in a bashing context. Robin doesn't even appear as an antagonist in S7 Spuffy fics.

It's easy for me to see why that would be the case. Wood may have been a Spuffy roadblock, Buffy may have flirted with him, but Spike got to bite him in retaliation for trying to kill him, and Buffy vocally took Spike's side over Wood's. Riley...well, the last time the three of them interacted, we had "As You Were." I can imagine that Spuffy writers would have angry, unfinished business with Riley in a way they wouldn't with Wood.

Fic recs - I wish I could give them to you, but I haven't *read* a lot of them. I've seen plenty of fics where Wood and Faith appear in the "characters" or "ships" labels, but I haven't read them because, well, not interested in Wood and Wood/Faith turns my stomach.
