Fic, BetterBuffyFics, Conventions, etc
Feb. 10th, 2003 12:02 amWhy is it that violent, angsty slash seems more possible and in character than romantic, fun slash? For example, Estepheia's "Closer" seems more likely than "Nothing Else Matters." (Both S/A, NC-17). Is it just me?
Two fics that I recently enjoyed: Estepheia's "Pandora’s Closet" (S/X, NC-17). She says it's PWP, but I liked the characterization, too (aside from the obviously out-of-character bit required to get them together). And Rachel Anton's WIP S/A/W "The Great and Terrible." Rachel writes Spike and Willow wonderfully. (And she probably writes Angel well, too, although I can't really tell because I can't stand the character 95% of the time).
( Rambling about BetterBuffyFics )
Conventions. I'm starting to think that I might want to go to different con instead of Toronto Trek. I know that TT is going to be really cool, even without JM, and I really want to see Elizabeth and Sharon. But I have a feeling that a lot of people who were going to attend TT are going to cancel now (I was going to go with my friend Jane, but she's sounding increasingly iffy about going). If I go to a con that actually has JM, I'll probably get to meet and hang out with more people that I know online. But then that means I have to choose a con and find roommates and all that stuff. I don't know; this is stressful. Anyone have any advice as to which upcoming con will be best? (I'm already attending the two Vulkons).
