FanFiction.Net - unleash your imagination| Two Ladies of Quality |
Author has written 38 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Equalizer. My name is Connie, and I'm in my 40s, and I've been writing fanfic since Star Wars came around the last time. No, you can't read those stories. I'm also known as riani1 on LiveJournal, but my primary fic identity is as Two Ladies of Quality, sometimes called TLoQ. I have my own acronym, I'm so proud. So, slash. I like slash. I love well-written slash. Spike's Bitches of the Buffistas have corrupted me forever. So I play with different combinations of people in as interesting situations as I can imagine. I try not to pull punches, so if a story is going into an explicit or painful direction, I let it go. I like Spike. I like Giles. Wesley is coming on strong in the drool-worthy sweepstakes. Xander is a hottie and doesn't get to have near enough fun. I've been mulling Harry/Draco fic, but I'm resisting. I swear that Career Advancement and Afterwards will be completed, barring any catastropic illnesses or worse. I read lots of Harry/Draco fic, and House/Wilson has its appeal, though I don't intend to abandon my Spike/Xander affections. I have no real philosophical underpinnings to my fic--except that hot guys having fun together is nifty. Some things do squick me, like supposed good guys enjoying hurting people etc., but that's about it. Decent writing can convince me to read nearly anything. just put up a forum, because it's something to play with. In a fit of daring, I'm putting up my Equalizer fiction, so I hope those who know me for my Buffy fic aren't too disappointed to see new things but in a different world. | |||||||||||
