Sally asked:
For the Avon fans - I know there's a few of us around - just what
*is* it about him that you find makes him that much more interesting?
Birds of a feather flock together.
Tavia's response:
As I said earlier, he's a geek with dress sense.
Include me out re Avon's dress sense, but...it's been said that American politics is like American football: you have to be smart enough to understand the rules and dumb enough to think it matters.
I told you she is smart. "Smart enough to understand the rules and dumb enough to think it matters." That is SLASHER mentality in a nut shell.
Maybe canon gives us enough information about
Avon's character to be intriguing, but leaves enough gaps to launch a thousand fanfics.
SLASHER fanfic will give you a version of Avon which is not at all accurate. It is trying to turn Avon into a Spock figure. He is not, he is a dangerous psychopath. He is **not** the sort of person you want to emulate.
PLEASE LEAVE THIS LYST NOW.
