This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

the lack of any D.I. Boyd/D.C.I. Tanner fic is killing me.

Right? Right? Oh, yeah.

Right? Right?

Now I have to buy this so I can go back and see if they ever mentioned D.I. Boyd's first name. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

I was pretty sure Tanner called him Jack once in the interview room, so that's well and good. Man, I could watch Boyd watch Tanner all day long...

I blame you, too.

Yay, blame!

I have both series 1&2 on DVD, so if you're balking at the purchase, feel free to give me a holler and I'll be happy to loan them to you.

The price isn't bad, actually. And since I know I like it, I have no problem purchasing it.

I'm balking at the whole "I'm not British enough to write this!" problem. Heh.

I bet we can find people to help with vetting CID (or Special Murder Unit) details.

A Friendly Note To Fic Writers, from Me:

Think very, very carefully when choosing your pseudonym.

    • You may change fandoms, and won't you feel stupid when PikaPikaPika is posting long, angsty West Wing deathfic?
  • Any suggestion that you have any sort of relationship, romantic, carnal, or spiritual, to any characters in the show will push you into the Mary Sue bin. It takes a lot to live down SpikesLittleCutie. Especially when you start writing Mourning Becomes Electra fic.
  • If your name has numbers in it, it isn't original; AOL or LJ or Hotmail is trying to give you a gentle hint. If you put the numbers there to be original, please don't. My typing fingers thank you.
  • It is a kindly thing, once having picked a pseudonym, to carry it with you if at all possible. Some of our heads explode trying to keep track of fiction written by SpikesLittleCutie, E-mail address hatewhedon@aol.com, LJ godimdepressed.
Thank you for your attention.
