I think that my pairing tastes just hate me.

I keep falling in love with pairings that have, like, no stories out there. I mean, why couldn't I fall for the mentor/teacher relationship in Buffy, where there's a big 'ol B/G archive, instead of in The Highlander, where I'm longing for mostly non-existent Richie/Duncan stories?

Well, of course, I'm exaggerating. I love the most popular pairing in Smallville (Clark/Lex) and one of the most popular slash pairings in Harry Potter (Harry/Draco). And Kowalski has been more popular Ray for all the time I've been in the due South fandom (I'm so glad that I missed the Ray Wars). But Buffy/Xander isn't terribly popular and neither is John/Chiana. And now I have this real yen to read R/D. And there's, like, five. It's frustrating.

Maayan did some John/Chi.

Ooo. Where might I find it?

You know, fond as I was of John/Aeryn I always wished there was more John/Chiana fanfic. I suspect that's one of the many reasons I never bothered much with fanfic in that fandom.

Well, and I've never seen the point of writing the show. I mean, that's why you have the show. John/Aeryn is a romance that's very much explored by the show in so many ways.

I mean, part of the reason that I stopped reading Buffy/Spike was because I didn't need to - they were exploring it on screen (I think that I stopped around Something Blue, actually). And I'll never get tired of writing B/X because it never was explored on the show.

I see fanfic as a way of getting what the canon, what the text, won't give you.
