Pimping: 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 elektra_'s direction.

And I went straight over there, saw that each character has to have appeared in over 3 episodes (which puts Katrina out, having only appeared in three) and stormed off. ...After, you know, joining the comm to keep up with others' cool essays.

(I'm taking a wild guess here to assume you meant me as the Katrina fangirl. Otherwise let me know who it is so I can beat them to a bloody pulp in order to retain my title we can share the love. *g*)

Yep, I meant you *g* (And I share your pain. My beloved Holden was only in one episode. Maybe spren will have a minors week...)

You know what would really be a fun pairing for the right author coughyoucough - Holden/Penn/Lawson. I'm just sayin'.

Tell me about it. I was trying to think of other characters I could do, and the first that came to mind was Tucker. A minors week would be much-loved at this end.

Dude, thank you for catching that. It's supposed to be three or more episodes. *head desk*

Heh, don't thank me, thank my obsession with a minor character (who I'm now totally signing up for).

You rock for organising this.
