Spike/Ethan
Holy Moses, writing an essay on Spike/Ethan is hard. It's like trying to sell freezers to eskimos. *grumbles*
I mean, I can list similarities and conflicts,and I have a clear idea why *I* like the pairing, but what I'm writing reads kinda boring. For a proper sales pitch, for an essay that is suited to launch a thousand fics, or, well, maybe a dozen or so, I have to be not only convincing but also irresistable.
Do I quote? Do I list epis? Do I quote from interviews? Do I suggest plot bunnies? *sigh*
Which reminds me. Whatever happened to the Jane Espenson video made during writercon? I'd love to quote what wonderful!Jane said on Ethan and Giles.
