Bits and Bobs
1 November 2010 20:26Ah, posting...
I've been meaning to say thank you to whoever nominated A Wild Night Out for best comedy and best quickie at the Sunnydale Memorial Awards (I get a bit embarrassed about nominations, so I was sort of mincing past it), so thank you. BUT ALSO, as what actually reminded me this morning, thank you to the person who nominated the Spikeid for best plot, best post-series and best unfinished. Whoever you (both?) are, you made my respective days. I feel rather well-represented now in the lists...
None of my fics felt Halloweeny enough to do the Halloween-fic-link thing, though maybe Trial by Mini-Quiches fits, in which Spike goes to a demonic wedding reception after Dead Things. I would, er, copy out the challenge and the headers and stuff, but I'm quite lazy... It's short, from way back in 2005, AO3-warning-free and has Clem in it! I'm not sure that needs half a page of info.
And lastly, I have a question! For better or worse I am starting work on an essay about Odyssey V (the bit with Calypso) in terms of gender reversal and dodgy sexual relationships as a route to psychological recovery, hopefully incorporating Spuffy in S6 as part of the analysis. Since my memory for interviews is rubbish, I was wondering, before I start searching myself, whether anyone can remember interviews/articles/meta posts where gender reversal (or indeed lack of it) in S6 gets discussed, specifically in relation to Dead Things or As You Were (possibly Gone as well; any time while teh sex is happening, really)? I won't reference/quote any fans without asking and the stress will probably be on Homeric scholarship, but it's always good to have an overview of who thinks what. Thanks, gang!
