A not entirely pointless poll

[Poll #276045]

ETA: somebody tell me not to make a Riley site.

...please?

(Or a Dawn/Tara one...)

(and absolutely definitely not one for spanking fics...)

(or for fics set pre-The Freshman, because I do love my old school stories...)

Whilst I have read some good Dawn/Tara fic (mostly set when Dawn is in her 20s), I've also seen far more truly atrocious Dawn/Tara fic. So, Dawn/Tara fic site probably not a good idea. Tara/Buffy can work really well. I've seen a lot of such fics and many are excellent, usually based around the idea that Tara and Willow have drifted apart and Buffy has found love with Tara. A couple of scenarios that very few writers seemed to have tackled are "What if Willow had been standing by the window insead of Tara in Seeing Red so had been the one killed?" and "What if Tara was some how returned?" (if Darla can be brought back and Buffy can come back twice then why not Tara?). I've seen a few fics that tackle the former, they usually revolve around Buffy and Tara coming together in their grief and a relationship developing from there. I've seen one part of one that took the latter but unfortunately haven't been able to find any subsequent parts. It took as it's premise that Willow was firmly attached to Kennedy. Buffy/Tara was promised but not delivered in that part.

Would a general Tara slash site be too general for your purposes? Whilst most such fic is Willow/Tara there is a lot of fic about that ships her with other characters.

I'm interested in Buffy/Tara but I've never really come across anything good (got any links?) - hmm, that's something to think about (and yes, most Dawn/Tara is absolutely atrocious)

I think Unintentional Tears pretty much has the market cornered in Tara slash...

The Buffy/Tara I've come accross tends to be on mailing lists, website archives seem to keep disapearing or moving servers so bookmarks get out of date very rapidly. There's a Buffy/Tara and plenty of Buffy/Tara/Willow at The Bear Cave (http://www.papa-bear.com/fanfic/fanfic.html). That site is all NC-17 and mostly BDSM oriented. More Buffy/Tara/Willow at Hunter Ash's Fanfic (http://www.hunterash.com/BuffyStories.htm) site.

The URL I had for Unintentional Tears didn't work so I had to Google for it.
