I dunno. There's some quality mockage available for some of that stuff coughreadingherachildrensbookcough. And the Spike/Angel vs the orcs fight to rewind and rewatch constantly - unless that's just me.
I read F.H. Burnett's A Little Princess when I was a kid, and I loved it. Of course, I dind't read it in English, so I didn't catch on until her name came up. ;-) Then, there's the whole orphan rich - poor - rich thing going on cf. Fred's journey. Plus, the possible education of Americans. ;-)
I too love the non-Wes/Fred parts, and let's face it, I watch for Marsters's acting, first and foremost. :-)
(Have procured CDs so I hope I can send you stuff tonight)
Thanks:) It is greatly appreciated and I'm looking forward to hearing them:)
James is fabulous in AHITW. The mummy line, the hole in the world... so much goodness. It's just an adult man reading the woman he loves a childrens book that seemed a bit ooky to me.
Mmm, James! Adore the mummy line and the questions and "annoy other people", Spike's sad resolve and...
I know that some people dislike the whole "Fred as loved by all the men"-issue, but I think they're damaged by too much shippy fanfic. What about platonic love? :-)
I love Wes, and really like Denisof, but Wes is ooky. ;-) I think he's always been unstable, but really, I didn't dislike Wed or Fres (or whatever). I kind of liked the idea that he would fixate on her intelligence; and then, she was tiny so he could feel all manly protecting her. I'm told I scare puny men off. ::manic laughter::
I do love platonic friendship, and explored it massively in Three Lions and also through the Eyes Only collaberation. It is something underexplored in fic generally, I think.
