Joyce!

Last night connorbeast and I were looking at my list of pairings I've recced for my site (I *will* find them all. I will.) and we came to a few conclusions:

- Wesley is a man-whore.
- so is Spike.
- Joyce doesn't get *nearly* enough lovin'.

Now, I know there's good Joyce/Spike out there and I've found JOYFFA and I'm planning to raid it for fics, but it's a travesty that poor Joyce doesn't get the kind of fic action that other characters do (Pre-The Body or AU, obviously). I want some Joyce/Gunn, dammit! Joyce/Riley! Joyce/Holden Webster! And connorbeast wants Joyce/Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote, but that's a different kettle of fish.

We may have to issue a Joyce fic challenge just to redress this shameful, shameful balance.

This lead to us deciding that ( if we were writing a spinoff )
