various notes

1. Since last mention, the housemate and I have gotten through all of S2 and just finished "Homecoming" in S3. The housemate wanted to know if there were hardcore Buffy/Scott Hope fans out there in Buffydom. I said pretty much not. She also says she's not sure she has room to like Faith, because she's still mourning Kendra. I assured her that Faith does get cooler and more complex with time.

Speaking of, my gosh, Faith is such an uncomplicated little thing this early in the show! She's friendless and watcherless and from a rough past, but she's basically pro-Buffy: watch her totally scare off that girl Scott was dancing with, just because he'd broken up with Buffy and it made Faith mad. Which is kind of sweet, really. Girl just wants a friend.

2. It's time for plot_wout_porn again! Only not really, because the deadline is in August. But if you're feeling plotty, hey, here's your chance...

3. Just saw Avatar, and I couldn't help but think of angearia's bodyswap/genderswap ficathon. Although, I suppose the Avatar style of things has more in common with transformation (werewolf, etc) than with bodyswap proper? Hmm.

Ooo intriguing. Well, I imagine it'd be the same as a human bodyswapping with a demon, no? Just a thought.

I would think. But then what about Giles the Fyarl demon? That's transformation, instead of swapping - would that still count for your ficathon?

I think I'm much more interested in the idea of someone just having a body that's *not theirs* than than having a body that belongs to someone else in particular. Joss used bodyswapping to great effect with the Buffy/Faith relationship, but I feel that that was a pretty special situation.
