Will do. I'm also pretty universal in what I read. About the only things I don't touch very often or at all are the AU things and anything incestuous (squicks me). Oh, and Spike/William just throws me for a loop, so I don't usually go there either.

I do like Spike a lot, mostly because I think that he's an interesting character and there are some writers who do such an amazing job of exploring him. If I had to pick a favorite character, it would probably be a toss up between Dawn, Tara, and Anya, just because I think that they were all kind of underused in canon and so there's so much room for fandom to play with them. That being said, I also really like most of the other characters as well, (other than Riley, who I never liked). In general, I just think that nearly all of the Jossverse characters have so many facets and depths that were never explored as deeply onscreen as we get to seem them explored in fandom, which would be why I adore fanfic.

Having tried, and failed, to write myself, I can see where Spike would be a hard character to get a good grip on. He's complex as all hell, and in a lot of ways his "voice" changed more than any of the other characters' voices did during the course of the show. And I will keep my fingers crossed for you, and look forward to reading the fics in question.
