I had to stop reading when it started turning into songfic.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I've learned that if it inspires La Lizard to profanity that odds are I should just go re-read some nice Spike/Xander.

Oh, I'm easily inspired to profanity.

I clicked on it, though, because Anna S. mentioned she'd been thinking about writing a mini-tiny S/X-flavored AU S5 (as her lovely story Sidelines was for S4), and she nodded to it as an effort at exactly that that had already been done. I think it's like when Speranza nodded to that horrible Fraser-POV thing in her notes for Chicago's Most Wanted. And I really know that I'm not Speranza; and I'm not Anna S., but it would seem to me that with the both of them being such amazing, intelligent writers it's kind of a little understood courtesy that they have to bow to the people that had previously written stories with the same ideas, but... dude. Anyone with half a brain can see they suck.

It might have been one of those "Such a great idea, if only they'd had the tools to pull it off, I have to set this right" kind of things.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Oh, yeah. I do that I the time. I was reading a story this evening, and it didn't suck, but I thought the characterization was way the fuck off, which made me think about the characterization I'd do... Storywriting, I believe, often works like that.

Just as a side-note: some parts of Star Wars fandom are great feedbackers. I put out a tiny Luke/Han story on a few lists yesterday, and I've already had more feedback within twenty-four hours than I've ever had for a single Buffyverse fic, no matter where I put it. Admittidly, that's like five e-mails, but still.
I'm happy.

Chapter 4 of Roseveare's wonderful-and-painfully-depressing Birthdayverse story is up.
Go, read. Have your guts ripped out!

Anyone who hasn't seen Sports Night and wants to -- if you have cable (specifically Comedy Central), they're starting with the pilot episode Monday overnight (which is technically Tuesday, b/c the eps air after midnight).
Just an FYI.
