I have come to two conclusions:

1. Shipper Wars are stupid.
2. I miss choco_cherries and crossovers in general (the rest of this conversation will make more sense if you familiarize yourself with the comm. WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMM EVER).

These two conclusions have met each other and exploded into an idea of awesome: forget about pairing The Greatest Person in the Universe (aka Buffy Summers) with only people on her own show! Crossovers are better!

So I've decided that for the duration of silliness, whenever the Shipping Wars threaten to pop up, I will immediately wax poetical about my favorite Buffy ship. The catch: it's with someone who isn't even in the Buffyverse! People will become confused! And distracted! Scott Allie might make fun of me in a Q&A! Poor "Spray" fan! It'll be awesome!

But the question is: Who will be the other half of that ship? That's what this poll will help me determine!

I've already written Buffy/Tommy and you may have noticed me flailing with joy over John Crichton mentioning Buffy and we all know how I feel about anything remotely involving Enver Gjokaj, so they're the front-runners at this point. But I am open to suggestions! Convince me!


[Poll #1550370]

*Someone mentioned the idea of Enver playing Spike on Gabs' journal, and now I desperately want fic in which a post-"Chosen" heartbroken Buffy gets Victor imprinted with Spike's personality so that she can tell him all the things she never got to say to him....

Emmie, could I write that for the "Who Are You?" fic-a-thon?

This one's for eldritchowl , who wanted Dean Winchester and Dawn Summers, in a laundromat.  It's been a while since I've written Dean, so this may be a bit rough, but Dean/Dawn is an inspired pairing--he would totally go for her.  Little Dawnie grew up sexy and smart.

I'm turning this into a choco_cherries  entry, too.  Hope you don't mind!

This is a crossover pairing I'd been wanting to write for a looong time, and now that I finally have, I don't know that I've done them justice.  Maybe I'll write a full-fledged fic for this pairing, a couple thousand words instead of just 300.  And the end is schmoopy.  But I hope you enjoy it anyways!
