The lovely

nodense has made podfic of my Eames/Arthur story, Let Your Ladder Down for Those Who Really Shine. (Please check out the warnings before listening, if you have a notion to.)

It's very strange (in the good way) listening to someone read your fic, and I liked the fact that

nodense 's accent is completely different to mine. (I also like the fact that she can pronounce 'pollo en mole', and I, alas, cannot.) It's also extremely interesting to hear what other readers might emphasize in a sentence, or paragraph, or line, which is invariably different to what I had imagined.

Very lovely and interesting, this has been.

( You Let Your Ladder Down For Those Who Really Shine )

I'm writing (incredibly slowly) a post-Chosen Riley fic, and watched Dead Things again for reference. Of course, watching a single episode of Buffy is almost impossible, so I ended up watching through to Entropy. I always remember Entropy as a series of plot points; mini-explosions throwing some things together and blowing others apart, but there are some beautiful (and enraging) moments, which gave me some thoughts.

It's not you, it's me

It's in this episode that it becomes evident that, despite some tap-dancing and hand-waving, the show does not intend to satisfactorily explain Xander's decision to dump Anya on their wedding day.

Obsessed, as I am, with family dysfunction and origin stories, I might have been tempted to lean more heavily on Xander wigging out because he grew up in a house chock full of toxic relationships and emotional (at least) abuse. Or, the show could have used Anya's point-of-view to critique marriage and relationships, and reveal that after a lifetime of smiting errant suitors / husbands / boyfriends, Xander was afraid of meeting her expectations.

What we get instead is a confused mish-mash of Xander wanting a relationship but not being ready for marriage, and not letting Anya know about this soon enough. It feels almost like it's tapping in to that 'men are afraid of commitment' trope, which is a very conventional place for the show to go, as well as seeming a little bit incongruous within their relationship's arc.
