Ah, that takes me back. I've been a fangirl of various loyalties since I was a wee tiny babe; Star Trek and Star Wars since I was toddling. But it was Joss Whedon-- I'll pause here so you can imagine me shaking my fist in the air, because I am still letting him get to me (viz. Avengers) all this time later-- who made me start writing, because I just could not accept the whump he started piling on his characters in Angel Season 3/B:tVS Season 6. I started looking for other people's speculations, tripped over ff.net, and then started writing my own fixit. The rest is history.
The writing quality suffers a bit, looking back at it now. But let's see, three things I still like about it, from today's perspective: (1) Ahahahaha, the contrived family relationships. Cliche or not, I had a lot of fun writing those in and using them to both explain and fix the various problems on the shows -- making Wesley = a timetraveled Connor, and Jonathan Levinson the son of Ethan Rayne; (2) LOL, the random gas station vamp too smart to actually live in Sunnydale but too dumb not to taunt a Sunnydale native when he recognizes one; and (3) SAVING WESLEY, PERIOD, THE END.
