Hmwah, so I'm thinking that, yes, the Saga doesn't really have many viable slash couples- unless you start thinking incest, and I really can't see that happening with Cleran and Dysis. I mean, it takes a lot to squick me, but even I can see that that wouldn't work. It's such a good story, but there's a dissappointing lack of opportunities for cute guys to crawl all over each other. *pouts*

But Dysis x Erolis...that hadn't even occured to me. For some reason I can't quite imagine Dysis sleeping with anyone...and that's just odd, for me anyway, given that he's one of my favorite characters in the story. (I do hope he doesn't die, but I suppose it would serve me right :p) Might have something to do with his whole naive inherent niceness (must restrain urges to pat him on the head and all that)...'M tryin' to remember if he had a relationship with anyone or if it was just Cleran and the bitch who was using him...guess I'd better go read over the story to check. Hm. (Because this is going to bother me for a while if I don't, you see.)
...
I honestly haven't thought very hard about slash pairings in Boffo, simply because there is no room for any in the story, really. (And of course, fanfic would be an impossibility since nobody cares about it that much and if I wrote it, it wouldn't be fanfiction, now would it?) Almost everybody already has a significant other of the opposite (most of the time) gender. I guess Lucifer x Jubal, but Jubal would never allow that; he really is quite good at dealing with angels. There's the obvious incest one, but I don't even like to think about thinking about that, because...well. That should be obvious, right? I guess Dei x Jance is a possibility, but Jance is really one of those "ick you touched me' kinda people- he's a prick, and he's a prude. If he ended up with anybody, it would be Cara, and that doesn't count as incest because they don't have genetics or families- but I still have a hard time seeing even that happen. (For several plot related reasons as well as the personality conflict.) hm. Actually, long before I ever figured out their characters, Dei and Jubal were going to end up together somehow...but then when Jubal actually appeared in my rough draft he was very obviously not interested, so that idea got scrapped.

It might also be interesting (to whom, I do not know, but hey, I can always delude myself, right?) to note that Dei's first name was originally Democritus, Radueriel was originally Shateiel, Albion was Jeeves, and Dei was (for a very short while) the Boffo equivalent of Satan. Tyler had a different name at first, too, but I refuse to tell anyone what it was. Too disturbing. It's amazing how these things evolve, though, isn't it?
