Random quotage of the day

Concerning pre-series Spike/Vicious fic. (Back to Cowboy Bebop nostalgialand for a bit here.)

Me: They are on the short bus to the special slash hell.

And later, mllelaurel: I mean, how can you get fluff out of that? Unless you find the words "I'm the only one who can kill you" particularly romantic?

I think that some fans' brains just short out somewhere around "I'm the only one who..."

...y'know, that's actually a very valid explanation!

I have decided that Bebop should be my next marathon venture. But Lily and I have been doing advance screenings of random eps, because we're bored and impatient. And it is awsome.

(Lily: Yes it is! And there's an e in awesome.)

(Me: Meh!)

There are in fact TWO e's in "awesome". *g* But I knows what you mean.

So what does one have to do to get sent to the special slash hell? (You know, someone should totally write a fandom version of The Inferno one of these days. If it hasn't been done already.)

I loved the Bebop!movie, and have always wanted to see the series. And marathons with large numbers of geeks are Shiny.

Vicious is not particularly fluffy, no... Fluff would have to be very crack-like. Maybe involving undercover antics or crazy love pollen?

My brain went to a bad place because I've seen exactly one episode of Bebop, and I was left briefly wondering, "Is Spike the corgi? Is this why the slash would be so scary?" Fortunately, Google and Wikipedia are my friends.

*brain wobbles at the thought of "fluff" and "Vicious" in the same sentence* You're totally right about the short bus to the special slash hell, though. It's a pretty quick trip, too.
