Sweety, it's YOUR journal. You can whine all you like. I find that putting the whining in semi-public form puts a therapeutic distance between yourself and your mood. Meaning, posting is part of the 'getting over it' process. Most people whine or rant - not always but regularly.
If people don't want to read your rants and whines they will just scroll past it. I do that all the time, depending on my mood. Sometimes I will read about people's personal problems, sometimes I read only LJ entries that are about writing or BtVS.
Anyway, I agree with your POV regarding Spike. His complete focus on Buffy is actually an obstacle in writing an interesting and growning Spike. I'm trying to write a PWP in which he gets horizontal with Anya, but all my betas seem to find it impossible to even temporarily cut the Buffy/Spike ties in their heads and accept another het pairing. *sigh* Ack, I'm digressing and talking about MY problems again. sorry ;-)
The show hasn't given off very friendshippy vibes this season - IMHO a great oversight on ME's part. So the characters haven't grown and seem to have no other reason to interact than the impending doom. That is not a framework that encourages character growth or fuzzy feelings.
BTW, thank you for your long email. I was a bit too busy and stressed to write a long reply. My aunty came to visit for a few days. That always involves frantic laundry folding and house cleaning. *sigh*
BTW, I updated my site, but hubby forgot to upload my files, so now only my old geocities site is up to date. You can find the Perdition chapter there. Grab it if you like. I'm glad you still enjoy it. http://us.geocities.com/estepheia/
TPTP part 43 might get posted tuesday night.
I hate my site. I love yours! It looks so neat. I'd like to have mine look like a dark twin... black and oranges. I wish the hubby had the time to do the promised programming. It looks like it's not going to happen before the end of the show, which sucks.
