5 Classic Fics That Changed The Way I Think About Characters

[gracenm.livejournal.com]

Here are five classics that made me think differently about the characters they focus on (or think about them at all!), while also being great reads.

Joyce: Being Lois Lane by YahtzeeSummary: “In the aftermath of ‘Becoming, Part Two,’ Joyce tries to deal with what she knows — and doesn’t know — about Buffy.”

Dawn: Umad Learns Sumerian by AnnakovskySummary: “A fic about learning dead languages, when you’re Dawn and it’s the summer after season 6.”

Wishverse Nancy: Morituri Te Salutamus by AnnakovskySummary: “Nancy, in the Wishverse, on being cannon fodder.”

Pike: History, Repeating by deird1Summary: “Sometimes the past comes back into your life.”

Cordelia/Xander: Echo by vatrixstaSummary: “Today is Cordelia’s favorite day.”

Great category! :) I've already heard good things about "Umad Learns Sumerian", and I just realized I follow the author of "History, Repeating" on Dreamwidth... who knew!

They are great to revisit! :)

I was just listening to you on the SFC podcast today! You're amazing! I'm really enjoying your insights into the characters, and hearing about your fandom experience has been great, too. I am about halfway through, and I'm looking forward to listening to the rest!

Wow, what a lovely thing to say. I'm so glad you enjoyed the podcast. I was so nervous beforehand, but the mods made it an easy and enjoyable experience. The main thing that freaked me out was listening to it back and thank you, oh good grief, do I sound like that!

I hope you enjoy the rest when you get there :)
