I hate it when LJ does that to me, especially when I'm trying to post fic. Yeesh, I think there's one fic post I still have to fix because of that.
I was never into Buffy/Angel either. They just became so...ridiculously corny together. Like, most of the time, I just...hated their dialogue/love talk/whatever, it was like a really poor man's Shakespeare or something. I don't even want to watch it again to properly criticize it. They just like really forced, which sucks, since I think they did have the small chance of developing naturally. Like, I remember in the series premiere, I really liked how Angel and Buffy were snarky with each other--and that was like, just dropped for little reason.
But for some reason, I heart the arc where Buffy's heartbroken over Angelus/Evil!Angel. I mean, it doesn't make sense me liking that part, 'cause you'd think that would lose some impact if you never liked Buffy/Angel...but wow, I really cared at that point.
But still after that point, I never bought Buffy/Angel happening; all the debate about possession/split personality aside, there just seems to be too much bad blood between Buffy and Angel for anything to ever work out.
But I did love Cordy/Xander! They were so great, and it had the added bonus of really developing Cordy's character. But I think you're right, only in high school, 'cause there's Cordy/Angel later and Xander/Anya I still wish they had gotten married. That would've been interesting. But I guess it all works out since I'm seriously thinking about the crossover ship Richard/Anya
I'm a big friends shipper too, I think pretty much all of my favorite ships were friends first.
Like Sawyer/Juliet.~ I say 'nay' to those who say that came out of nowhere; they had relationship development leading up to it, but it was real subtle.
Want to friend each other? We seem to have similar interests, you have great fic, and I'd like to get your feedback on some of my Lost fic sometime. :)
