Beautifully-manicured Fingers of DOOM!

Um, you know how recently on fandomsecrets several people have confessed to writing fanfic about a show they've never watched/game they've never played? Well, it's been a couple of years since I last watched S5 Buffy, and I've seen just enough of OFOtCN to know it's too triggery to watch in front of green_trilobite.

Nonetheless, this keeps happening. My main worry is whether I'm getting the tone of the dialogue right - most of the characters I'm basing off descriptions in wikipedia or people's lit-crit essays, and I suspect Ben is a little snarkier than he was on BtVS, but that's because I've discovered I don't like him much and I enjoy making him all passive-aggressive and manipulative.

I think I only watched Buffy for a season or two, sporatically. Crush on Giles, kick out of seeing Armin Shimmerman sans Ferengi make-up.
Cuckoo's Nest completes a weird trifecta for me in that I've seen Brad play characters where I wish I was his wife, daughter and with Billy, mother. lol. I think they'd have to make a whole new word up for a complex like that.
