Re: OT fics?/Threesomes

I know I haven't posted in awhile, and I won't have a chapter for 
my story up soon- I started a new job about a month ago andI'm 
still settling in to life after college- but I wanted to weigh in on 
this.

I love the B/W dynamic. I've also enjoyed the B/W/T dynamic, 
when written well and in a convincing manner. But, they are 
VERY different dynamics for me. I personally don't like B/T 
cause I don't really see anything there. It seems like there needs 
to be that extra Willow piece in there for B/T to work. But, when 
bringing in Tara to B/W you completely change the dynamics- 
there are times where I won't read a B/W/T fic right away cause 
I'm not always fond of how the dynamic works. Many times I feel 
like the author is constantly having each character make 
declarations of love and there never seem to be the problems, 
the difficulties, and angst that should come with three women 
beginning a relationship. I'm never fully convinced that Willow 
and Tara are together and then oh! suddenly Buffy realizes she 
loves Willow, and hey, why not love Tara, too? I just think some 
things get skipped over. 

That said, I do enjoy some B/W/T. I've loved the Red Moon 
Rising series since Hunter began posting it on 
BuffyandWillowslash. I don't think people should stop writing 
B/W/T by any means- if that's what you want to write, do so. 
Perhaps a B/W/T list should be started, but I don't think that they 
should stop posting here. The fics are mostly labeled when in 
the subject line when they are B/W/T, or at least in the 
disclaimers. So, we all have free will and skip over a story if we 
don't want to read it; my guess is people do this anyway for 
stories they're not interested in that are B/W. It's just as simple 
for this and I don't think a big deal should be made about limiting 
the number or B/W/T fics. I mean, these people are writing. I 
think instead of complaining about the amount of B/W/T fics and 
their authors, complain to the B/W authors who haven't been 
posting (and I know I'm one of them) or write a B/W yourself. 

That was longer than I'd planned, but I've said what I wanted.
