I've only recently gotten into gen fic. There's a lot of interesting stuff I've seen people do and this really hit my rare character kink. So, go you!

Yay! Although I read both shippy and non-shippy stuff, I seem to write exclusively gen - it offers so many lenses through which to view the characters. On the other hand, BtVS is such a shippy show that sometimes the genfic can be hard to find...
