RE: Fanfic preferences

["Bill Gopher" <asagiri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 TX,

   Good question. For me that's never bothered me, for instance when I first started reading Buffy fanfic I was a B/W worshipper (and stillam! <G>), but I read and enjoy some other pairings as well (B/C, C/F, W/T, B/T). I've seen pairings from an author i really like and not liked the story, but as for not ever reading the author's stories again...no. That's not happened, since its just this story or pairing that I don't like. Really bizarre pairings like Xena/Legaspi would probably turn me off for the story since Ijust can't see a way to justify the logic of the pairing. (You have to admit that would be a stretch for anyone to get those 2 together <g>). I know i've seen pairings like Willow/Giles or Buffy/Giles which just makes me shudder at the very thought, it's like thinking about your parents having sex. Which as we all know, parents only have/had sex as many times as they have had childrenand even thinknig about that gives me shudders and sleepless nights! <BG>

    Well that was my 2 pennies.

I'm one of those people who doesn't get to keep up with fanfic on a
regular basis.  Usually, I catch up by reading archives when I can.

But I was just wondering -- does anyone else out there have a hard
time reading fanfic if it's not "your" couple?  For example, you can
read Willow/Tara, but not Willow/Buffy...or Blair/Jo but not Sue
Ann/Molly...or Xena/Gabrielle...but not Xena/Legaspi.  Does it kinda
turn you away (no offense to the writers, K?) from reading when it's
not two characters from the same show or when it's two character that
you'd prefer not to see together...kinda like John Carter and Susan
Lewis on ER?

Just wondering...

Thanks,
TX
