Re: Re: Mad Hamlet's post



Just check out any fic archive that isn't centered around a specific
pairing, like fanfiction.net or (especially) adultfanfiction.net.  In
the latter, Fuffy has consumed the Buffy femmeslash section.  Or,
check out one of our Yahoo lists, BuffyFemSlashers, which has more of
a mix, but is dominated by Fuffy. 
 
 
>So there is no actual data supporting your claim, its just your impression based on the number of stories archived?  And you never did an actual count of authors or checked out the date of the archives?
 
>Since Fluffys have been around for two years longer and a lot of the body of their work was done before Tara/Willow it could be an appearance they have more actual members?  Again, I'm just really curious about any supporting or empirical evidence you might have. The wording of your first post made the claim that it was a fact and not just an opinion.  If it is a supportable supposition then I'd like to see the evidence.  I've found no actual data or studies done on the Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan base using the "naming theory" and I think I would like to do it for my term paper.
 
>So please be clear, was it your opinion that Fluffy was bigger or was it factual?  Cause I have found no supporting or empirical evidence in my research so far.
 
 
The Fuffies also happen to be a
prolific bunch.  They've got a ton of epics going on, and beat every
other femmeslash pairing with sheer volume.  Why does B/F inspire more
stories than W/T?  Pretty simple.  Who's the more interesting couple
to write about?  While I love both Willow and Tara, as a couple
there's not really a lot to explore that the show didn't. 
 
>I think I disagree with your claim about Faith being more interesting than Tara.  It is my opinion, having written both characters, that they bring different things to the story.  I think its just a matter of personal tastes as to who is more interesting.


Willow: "It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in."
Buffy:  "I kinda love you."
