You know what fic I want to read?

[snick_backup]

This is the fic I want to read. I want to read a fic wherein Buffy admits early on that Spike's pretty hot and she's attracted to him - and then concludes that this alone is not sufficient reason to jump in bed with him. That there are in fact additional considerations when deciding with whom to begin a sexual relationship. These additional considerations should then be overcome, if they are overcome, by something other than Spike's sexual magnetism.

That is all.

YES. SO MUCH THIS.

[snickfic]

WE ARE IN AGREEMENT.

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

I'd read that!

[snickfic]

Well, if you do, point me to it!

Buffy admits early on that Spike's pretty hot and she's attracted to him - and then concludes that this alone is not sufficient reason to jump in bed with him.

I don't understand. *examines icon* Seems sufficient to me.

[snickfic]

You! You are part of the problem!

:)

[next_to_normal]

I - I can't help it! He's just so sexy.

(says the girl who's never actually managed to write a Spuffy PWP - Buffy always ends up thinking of the damn "other considerations")

[jen-nsync-landl.livejournal.com]

Ooo, me, too. When you write it, I promise to read. ;)

[snickfic]

No no no no. You misapprehend the intent of this post. When you write it, I promise to read it. *g*

But that's horrible tv. You know that. Everybody knows that when a woman sees a handsome man she immediately starts looking for a bed to jump into with him...if she can wait that long.

[snickfic]

I know, I know. Silly me. (Spike and Buffy very rarely wait that long.)

[2maggie2.livejournal.com]

God that'd be great!

[snickfic]

It's not that there are no fics out there that do this. Just... not a large enough percentage.

[dragonpaws.livejournal.com]

Crazy woman. That would end up being, like, a relationship and require growth and character development and everybody knows those are BOOOO-RING compared to ye olde and endlessly fascinating Tabbe A in Slotte B.

[snickfic]

So true. What was I thinking?

(Tabbes! Slottes! Tee hee.)

[kcarolj65.livejournal.com]

ye olde and endlessly fascinating Tabbe A in Slotte B.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

You slay me! (no pun intended)

How very odd.

I am such a canon whore that I cannot get them in the sack before Season 6. However, I do slyly insert attraction on Buffy's side. I mean, c'mon! The girl's certainly not blind! I guess I'm saying that I'm cool with the first part, but I fail at the last part. Must remedy.

[snickfic]

Interesting. I hadn't realized you felt that strongly about canon. (Although you still read pre-S6 Spuffy, right? You just have trouble writing it?)

Must remedy.

I heartily concur. At once! Post-haste!

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I hadn't realized you felt that strongly about canon.

That's why I write so many historicals, I think. Practically anything goes, but it doesn't mess up the canon. (Which, admittedly is plenty messed up already.)

I haven't actually written/posted that much Spuffy, though it tends to be longer than anything else I write. It was a big departure for me to even slightly change the end of Chosen, but I've decided maybe I'm not such a whore to Angel canon, so I've pretty much gone off on my own track with AtS Season 5. In my brain.

I, of course, read every possible season of Spuffy, because Spuffy makes everything better! Preferably, believable Spuffy showing character growth (and little bashing). Or just snarky banter...

[snickfic]

Preferably, believable Spuffy showing character growth (and little bashing).

Yes! Yes yes yes.

Heh. Yeah, I feel no loyalty to Ats canon - or comics canon, for that matter. If I ever write any of these post-series things I dream up, I'm going to cherrypick the elements of S8 that I like and merrily discard the rest. :)

[silverusagi]

Silly, everyone knows that Spike sex fixes everything.

[snickfic]

I refer you here for much resounding agreement. *g*

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YES!

And now...you have made me want to write you this. CURSE YOU! You're always giving me new ideas! Your ideas are irresistible!

I feel like we need to start a Porn Is Overrated League. You can be president, and I'll be vice-president, and there will be pie served at every meeting. Not because pie has anything to do with anything, but just because I like pie!

[next_to_normal]

Is it weird that, after reading your comment, I started trying to come up with a "Porn Is..." name for the group that could be abbreviated PIE?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Haha! No, not weird: awesome!

[next_to_normal]

Porn Is Excessive?

Porn Is Extraneous?

Porn Is Exoteric?

Porn Is Exceptionable?

[snickfic]

That last one's my favorite, I think. :)

[snickfic]

Yes! Yes to the League (are you sure there shouldn't be a Dictator For Life instead? And possibly a First Tiger?), and absotively posolutely yes to pie!

You're always giving me new ideas! Your ideas are irresistible!

And yet you've done an admirable job resisting them so far. Alas.

[brutti-ma-buoni.livejournal.com]

You know, you could go nuts and post this as a prompt for plot_wout_porn. You never know - someone might be inspired.

[snickfic]

That hadn't occurred to me. I guess I think of plot_wout_porn being non-shippy, as well as specifically non-porny.

OTOH, this would do very nicely as an example of intentionally non-porny shippiness...

[rahirah]

I never actually wrote such a fic, but I did once write a story where Older!Buffy was magically regressed to age sixteen, memory-wise. She thought Spike was hot, but, you know, vampire - so she used his bizarre and inexplicable obsession with her to get him to lower his guard, then knocked him cold and escaped. (Or would have escaped if Willow caught her.)

[snickfic]

Hee! Yes, I liked that story quite a bit. Really, I think your matched set of amnesia!fics from last year are my favorite things I've read of yours (although I haven't made it through the whole oeuvre. :)

[seapealsh.livejournal.com]

I am in definite agreement.
