It started with cheerleaders, I guess.

 

I was watching Bring It On with my mouth hanging open, my best mate occasionally rolling his eyes at my whimpering when ever this certain dark haired hottie came on screen, and eventually I managed to get out the words: "What... else?", while pointing at our favourite girl. So he just gives me this look which says "Uh oh, here comes another obsession," and reluctantly tells me: "She's Faith on that show 'Buffy'. It's on tonight."

 

And so I watched it, and so my obsession began.

 

Even more than the fact that both Cordelia and Buffy appear in cheerleader outfits, and even more than Buffy's so called 'skirts' in season one or her dancing in the season two opener, it was Faith that
kept me watching. Faith, all leather and attitude with a healthy dose of sexy looks directed at my favourite blonde. It was perfect, because, to quote Cordelia: "part of being perfect is there being one tiny flaw for me to fix."

 

And that's when the writing came in.

 

I'd found a couple of B/F sites while looking for Eliza pics, and had read a few pieces of fic. I didn't
think about writing until I was feeling bored and creative one evening, and had run out of drawing
paper. And so I gave it a go. After a while, I gave some of my fics to one of my friends, and she
persuaded me to put them up on the net. (She's now read all my stuff but had never watched the show. I finally got her to watch Bad Girls a while ago, and she was seriously freaked that Buffy was with Angel and started shouting "It's not real!", lol.) So I did.

And here we are.

 

That was a year ago, and I haven't stopped since. Sometimes it's fluff, sometimes angst, and sometimes PWP. (But I try not to, cause I suck at writing it). It's always been B/F for me, although I have recently become interested in F/C. Just cause they'd be hot, nothing more, I mean, I thought Buffy was very straight on the show (with the exception of when Faith was around) but Cordelia makes her look as gay as... well, Faith really. But at heart I am a B/F shipper. I love their interaction on the show, the comments, the... dancing... *purr*, their power struggle and defensiveness. You just know that if one of them were to admit their feelings...

 

But it'll never happen. And although I like the happy endings, I think one for them would be impossible. The current situation on the show definitely points towards this, and it seems all chances have been lost. Plus, there are the Goddamn censors. lol. So I comfort myself with fic reading and writing, and there is some truly fantastic stuff out there. I love Sway, Michele and Liv's stuff the best, although it's bad for me to read 'em cause I always want to quit afterwards. : )

 

So that's about it. I'm a 19 year old Scottish girl with Faith's tattoo, a cat called Spike and a Buffy
obsession that none of my friends want to hear about. (Only one of them even watches the show. One!) So I write because I over analyse everything, and getting it all down on paper stops me boring everyone with my 'million reasons why Faith and Buffy should be together' rant all the time... OK, so sometimes I do that anyway...

 

But just as long as Buffy and Willow don't get together, I'll be fine. : )
