Well insomnia has struck *again* and I have had entirely too much time to spend pondering random silliness. Last nights ponderance? I was curious about distinctions amongst fanfic writers in the BTVS/AtS fandom.
You know, some of 'em are nearly famous or something. I have no clue who they are. But I hear that there's a bunch of 'em. They even have different nicknames for them. Course, my sleep deprivation has rendered it impossible for me to remember the nicknames. But you know who I mean, the ones that nearly everyone has heard of. (Except me...cause I'm oblivious to these things...which is why I'm asking.)
So, my question to you, dear flist, is two fold.
One, Who are the "famous" fanfic writers?
And two, Which stories are on the must read list for any BTVS/AtS fanfic reader? This can be for any pairing, slash or het. I'm just curious as to which stories are considered "the best of the best". Give me your top three all-time favorite fics (or more if you have more than three!!)
So come on, help an insomniac out. I'll need something to read tonight at 3am I'm sure.
*toddles off to ponder something equally silly*

Pairing: Spike/Xander.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: dubious consent (although Xander enjoys it very much), mentions of Spike/Xander and past Xander/Anya.
Spoilers: For S5 BTVS, right after Buffy rejects Spike's love.
Summary: Spike feels absolutely irate about Buffy's rejection, and he plots a plan to get back at her. Target: Xander.
Why? It's one of the best Spander ever written, not only due to the plot, but also due to the quality of the text, and the way the author describes everything makes you feel it with unsuspecting instensity.
Hope this fits what you were asking me about.
