So, I have 415 'memories' --

The vast majority of which are Things That I Plan To Expand And Put On My Website. I have 122 entries under 'buffyverse essay'. Granted, some of those are related and will be collapsed into each other, but... damn.

I've also gone through and organized the 'My Fanfic' section which, indeed, has my fanfiction. I organized the dS essay section (only 11 entries, but it'll grow, I am certain), but will wait on the BtVS/AtS sections for another time (apart from the essays, I have 69 AtS 'reviews' and 43 for BtVS -- which is mostly a result of the BtVS ones turning into essays, really).

Of course, that's all going on what I can see. Some things that aren't fully formed are locked until I've reread and rewritten them, etc.

Sometimes I do wonder when I'll ever have time to do any rewriting and transferring. Still, it's good to have things left undone, so that there's always more to do. A messy mind is an active one and an alive one.

due South: Friends and Partners

*Brief name-related note:
Fraser always introduces himself as Benton or Benton Fraser, not as Ben or as Fraser. People who knew him from before or outside of work usually call him Ben (Mark, Quinn, his dad -- who occasionally uses 'Benton'). Buck Frobisher, Smithers (Mountie on the Bounty), and Muldoon (Call of the Wild) call him Benton. After the initial introduction, Ray Vecchio almost never calls him Benton (with a couple of exceptions), just Benny or Fraser. Frannie calls him 'Benton' before she starts working at the station, then she switches to 'Fraser' most of the time. Both Welsh and Frannie have been known to shorten 'Fraser' to 'Frase'. Ray Kowalski almost always uses 'Fraser' -- he used 'Benton-buddy' once and occasionally introduces Fraser to other people as 'Benton Fraser' like RayV did.


Now, Fraser never made a big deal out of being partners with Ray Vecchio -- to him, it was about friendship. Fraser was exiled in Chicago and Ray had helped him, so there was a bond. In all the Vecchio episodes, only three times are they referred to as partners (Ray called Benny his partner while undercover as car salesmen in that one episode where they went undercover as car salesmen, then in A Cop, A Mountie, and a Baby he says that they are partners. Also, Bob Fraser, who has a thing about partnership anyway, calls Ray Fraser's partner once. Vecchio implies partnership in They Eat Horses, Don't They, but it's clear that the primary relationship is one of friendship). When he's telling Fraser about their relationship in Flashback, it's about friendship. When Vecchio leaves in Burning Down the House, it's 'as a friend'.
