Go for it, connie. All your alternate reality fanfic is just novels with familiar names to them. Write one and slap something other than a Buffyverse name in it.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Connie actually has a perfectly good novel in good-sized chunks; I know, because I've read some of it. She avoids quite a few common traps, right out the gate, and some of the few traps she did fall into are extremely shallow and easy for anyone with an instinct to climb right out of. So yes, she should do that thing.
Gus, you sly dog, you! What's it called?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Congratulations, Gus!

Because books.
Congratulations, Gus! But we need more details -- when does it come out? What's the title?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Congrats, Gus.
I need to get back to my own novel. I have the free time again, but my rampant insomnia the last few weeks has left me feeling too tired to do anything that requires brain power.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Gus!!! Congrats!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Gus, that absolutely rocks out loud! The Buffista bookshelf just keeps embiggening beautifully.
Now, details, please!
