Meant to reply to this post, but never got round to it... not that I have much to say, but I like your thoughts a lot.
Force Spuffy ficwriter compose a fic about happy Buffy\Angel reunion - the result will be either parody or honest failure. Force canon-respecting ficwriter create an AU story with Fairy!Spike, Witch!Buffy and Cinderella!Angel - the result will be the same. I think rahirah and tkp might have proven this wrong! *g* (And I have myself - a fervent Spuffy - written B/A that satisfied Bangel shippers.) I think if a writer is good enough he or she can write pretty much anything - but then it'll probably no longer be a question of getting personal enjoyment out of the writing, more a sense of fulfilling a challenge. Or something? *thinks* Actually, I think I could write a lot of things that were outside my OTP, but there are some things I couldn't write - say S/X. It is a pairing that quite simply cannot work for me and that would never change. Hmmmm, lots of thoughts.
Oh - and the reason I stopped by, before I got distraced by your clever post - who made the icon you used here? If it's yours, can I snag it?
