idol_reflection. Like
ship_manifesto but for individual characters. Hmm, I think I want to do Riley. Wait, that came out... exactly as I intended. Carry on.
(Buffy and Angel fandom could easily provide a hundred essays all on their own. I can think of people just on my friends list who could do Snyder. And Mr. Gordo. And Devon. And Katrina.)
!!1! Goolecaptain's posted the conclusions he's drawn about fanfic from his classic *cough* "Why Do We Write This". Pure gold. The fluffy-bunnies ending to a fic about Hank Summers sexually abusing his daughter would normally have me headdesking but it's exactly what I was expecting. Goolecaptain makes me want to write nothing but angsty everybody-dies darkfic in the hope that some glorious day he'll write me a happy ending 'sequal'. Till then I'll be over here casting jealous looks in

I know I personally was very upset when Angel and Eve's undeniable connection led them to have that beautifully meaningful sex, and when Angel clearly showed in the episodes following that it had meant a great deal to him and that the only reason he avoided her like the plague was because he feared her company would result in a moment of perfect happiness.
