...thank you for reviewing...I think?
Review I recieved about ten minutes ago for a Buffy/Criminal Minds cross I'm writing (and, yes, forgetting to post over here, shut up).
I really hope you skip the slash in this fic. I really hate when cannon characters are all twisted up to make slash. I think that the characters are interesting enough without gender bending or twisting or changes. Tara/ Willow are cannon and I have to say Tara is a favorite of mine. In many ways more so than Willow so that pairing fits. Xander as gay is just a major joke and the miltiary men dont ask dont tell was not is not a free ride to living openly as a gay person. It was a half assed attempt to placate a certain segment of the population while not pissing off the other leaving neither side overly happy. It is insulting to gay people and even more so to straight ones because they have to pretend to be blind, deaf and dumb. Because even if they know a friend is gay they cannot openly accept it and support their friends and their partners. So, hopefully you will keep it cannon.
