Latest kerfuffle

[doyle]

Because it's always fun to get a straight male's view on these things, I showed Kevin the season 5 promo poster. His reaction:

"How much more homoerotic could they get? Their names are intersecting!!"

Trying to stay out of the latest kerfuffle because I'm a born fence-sitter. I have this annoying habit of thinking both sides have valid and interesting points. Besides, the BAPS war over B/A is more vehement and it's so unusual to see a bunch of B/A-defending going on over there that that's where my attention's at.

What's your all-time OTP? (Slash or het, any fandom at all).

I'm loosely interpreting that as slash and het. Slash: Stuart and Vince, QAF-UK. Het: Spike and Buffy.

Which pairing do you just not understand?

Hmmm... Clark/Lana. Don't get it at all. My mum, on the other hand, thinks it's lovely and romantic.

Which pairings were you initially against, but found yourself warming toward? (real and fake, any fandom).

Buffy/Xander. Xander/Anya. Any of the canon pairings except Buffy/Spike and Willow/Oz took a while to grow on me. Looking back over my old reviews when I was moving my site to the new server, I discovered I used to be not in favour of Lilah/Wes. Was I on crack?!

Once again, parading my ignorance to the world. B/A shipper here who has no clue what you're talking about. I don't think. Can you explain? Please and thank you.

Um.... BAPS is Spike-redemptionista central. Topic this week seems to be whether season 1 and early 2 B/A (when Buffy was 15/16) was skeevy or romantic. Considering the list's focus, a lot of the views have been surprisingly balanced. I expected far more gratuitous bashing.

I hear you!
Mental note for the next time: Kerfuffles are a spectator sport...

Bwah!!! Too true.

Right on, sister! I'm the same way... except on this issue! Because, how could you not love Spike? ::bats eyes innocently::

I discovered I used to be not in favour of Lilah/Wes. Was I on crack?!

Yes. Only logical explanation. *g*
