OT3's meme!

I'm not quite sure why I did this, but it was sort of fun.



My utterly subjective personal reactions to these threesomes:

Buffy/Giles/Willow

The hotness. And believable. This threesome would work, no doubt about it. Someone want to write it?

Buffy/Dawn/Willow

If one isn't squicked by the incest, I think this pairing works. Sort of.

Buffy/Giles/Tara

Despite wisdomeagle's flawlessly argued manifesto as to the nature of Tara's queerness, het Tara pairings just seem wrong to me. But I can see Tara slipping seamlessly into an established Buffy/Giles relationship.

Giles/Spike/Tara

See above re: Tara het. Nor could I get to a Giles/Spike place.

Anya/Buffy/Dawn

Another incest pairing. And frankly I don't see Anya as the person capable of persuading Buffy and Dawn to enter an incestuous lesbian relationship--although I can almost see her trying.

Buffy/Dawn/Tara

The incest angle and Buffy's het-ness are the only real obstacles here. I've suspended disbelief for much more in the past, and for me the payoff would make it worth it.

Anya/Dawn/Spike

Let's see. Spike/Anya and Spike/Dawn are both canon. I don't really see Anya/Dawn by itself, but in the context of this threesome I can see it working.

Anya/Dawn/Xander

Another case of the het ships all being canonical. I can see the Anya/Dawn working just as well with Xander as with Spike.

Anya/Riley/Xander

I don't think I'd necessarily want to read this ship, but I do think I'd believe it.

Anya/Spike/Riley

Whoa. The angst. Somebody has to write this just for the angst. I don't think I'm going to read it when you're done, though.

Riley/Spike/Tara

Again, not my cup of tea.

Anya/Dawn/Riley

Certainly could have happened, if things had gone differently.

Anya/Spike/Xander

Well, Anya/Spike and Anya/Xander are both canon, and Spike/Xander is a huge slash pairing, so clearly this has something going for it. I'm not sure what it is that this ship has going for it, but whatever it is, it has it.

Buffy/Dawn/Xander

Ooh. I want. Another incest fic, though.

Now back to reading about T.S. Eliot and The Wasteland. I can so totally give a presentation on this (the secondary source, not the poem itself) without reading it .

oooh, I love nearly all of those pairings. And, damn, now I want the Mary Poppins film soundtrack AS WELL AS the west end cd that I already have. *sighs with longing*

[alixtii.livejournal.com]

Well, I haven't seen the musical or heard its soundtrack, so I'm not filled with longing in the other direction. I was actually living in the West End when it came out, but there were other musicals I saw instead, like The Woman in White and We Will Rock You: The QUEEN Musical. As a college student on a budget, I had to make decisions. I'm sure it was great, though.

Did you see Maria Friedman in WiW? We've probably talked about this...Yeah, I haven't technically seen either due to living too far from London - but no longer! I flat-out refuse to see Ruthie Henshall playing Marian Halcombe, but I do want to catch Laura Michelle Kelly before she leaves at the end of October.

Yes, I saw Maria Friedman as Marian and Michael Crawford as Fosco. And Angela Christian as Anne Catherick absolutely blew me away. The things she could do with her voice. mimicking a very strong accent while singing and sounding insane, were amazing.

I think maybe I have a thing for insane women with British accents.
