Just like me, writing it first right before bed, in my head - always a bad idea.

But yeah, a lot of it has to do with how a story is or isn't satisfying you fully on screen. And trying to explore alternatives to that. For me the big oddness, and part is the ship thing, that I am rarely drawn to read Angel fanfic. And yet, it's not like I have a strong ship feelings about Buffy, I can read a ton of ships equally.

With Angel, I think I much more likely to kneejerk away with "that's not Wes or Connor or Angel or Cordelia or Gunn" or whatever and then, not be able to continue.

Oh, yeah, definitely. I think, the more attached to the canon you are, the harder it is to accept fic versions of characters/'verse. And Angel is the holy grail of that, whereas Buffy, especially later seasons, there is stuff that I balked at a lot, so fic that changes that is good.

SO much! I was thinking, although I didn't post it, that I don't know if I would have gotten into fanfic/fandom if I had tried at an earlier point than Season 7. I might have but...I might not have. At that point, there were just a lot of unresolved things and some large character shifts that just didn't really make sense to me.

Angel is totally my holy grail of shows, *hugs it tightly* And when it's done right, it's satisifying, but it's rare and I'm always...slow and scared to approach. And strangely less involved with seeing AUs that would change things in a different direction. Because the one AU that I would rather like to see is one that spins off of Peace Out...except for the terror of how whoever wrote it saw Connor.
