Re: Vote against B/S!

[danspector@xxxxxxxxx]

Well, you'll notice I didn't bitchslap anyone over the initial posts
even if they were a little blanket-y, I just thought I should stand up
for Angel and assure her that we're all fine with people of all opinions
being here, just as long as they support B/W.

Now mind you, if she ever wanted to make a pro-B/S argument, I'd debate
her until I was blue in the face, but that's OT here, anyway. 

For purposes of Fic, B/W is paramount, although OT fics are permitted.
In regard to the OT fics, I have two specific preferences:

1. The fics feature either Buffy or Willow in a non-canon femslash
context (ie, other than W/T), and

2. The OT fics do not constitute more than half of a writer's output
for this list.

But even these are not list rules, just things I will urge.

But our fics and our lives are not the same. Anyone is free to either
support of not support any other 'ship, as long as they don't use that
to bash B/W. In other words "I won't be voting against B/S in the poll
because I kind of like them, too" is okay, but "Buffy and Spike 4EVA!!
Buffy would be cute with Willow but she really needs a man!" is not.
(LIkewise "although I am primarily a W/T supporter, I also enjoy B/W" is
a fine sentiment, but "Buffy and Willow have a strong bond, but I truly
believe that Tara is Willow's soulmate" would be bashing our 'ship. You
can have a preference for something else, but you cannot imply that B/W
would be inferior to it.)

(arrgh! If this keeps up, I'll never have time to eviscerate, er, I
mean review, "Firefly". Not to mention all the lovely fic I need to
read.)
