Okay, anyone care to fill me in on what happened on Buffy? Yes, I know I stopped watching after Hush, but there's a big broohaha and apparently the Spike apologists are expected to come out full-force, and I want to know.

*pines for her lovely little pairng-fandom shot to hell by the apologists*

I have. And it is. Mrrr. I rather like the one where Xander's having nightmare flashbacks about Angelus raping him, too. I'm not sure I like this weakish!Xander, but it plays to my doting!Spike button, so I like it. I also think it's more a pacing issue than a charactersation issue. If there'd been more in-depth exposition about the rape and its effects, it would've been better.

I'd forgotten about that one. I see what you mean--she just wanted to write the interesting parts, so it comes off as a little too easy. She needs a bit more buildup to make it a complete story.

*nod* It's not as jarring as it could be, because she's good with what she does write. But it's niggling.
