I've been kinda following handbasket_rpg. It's a very clever and entertaining parody of Buffy fandom; if you haven't seen it, check it out. I loved kopy_kat's Mr. Burns and the Fallen Woman, a Montgomery Burns/Marge Simpson parody rip-off of herself_nyc's Mr Grieves and the Fallen Woman.

The RPG has got some people playing composite stereotypes and some playing actual people, so I guess it's sort of RPF. It's so clearly parody, though; it's no more offensive than a Saturday Night Live sketch (and a lot funnier than most of those). I am speaking as someone who finds most RPF squicky and usually avoids it (though I have no problem with those who like it).

So yeah, anyway, just a rec.

Okay, dying to know....what ep is your icon from? Having a brain fart here, so throw me a bone!

It's from Bargaining, when Spike's talking to Dawn (the "now deal" scene). Screencap from Alanna's site here. I've always loved that pic.
