Buffistas

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Diablo Robotico Up.

Hello all. First-time poster. Just thought this would be a good thread to ask re fanfics and ideas for fanfics.

How would one execute a credible Blade-Buffy crossover properly? The fundamental principles of vampirism are almost diametric opposites for the two genres. Blade's vampirism is a product of biological causes (virus) and the vamping process is spiritual (losing one's soul), but what is the best way to "bridge" that divide?

I thought this would be a good topic just to throw around. Perhaps it's already been discussed...

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Not as far as I know. I don't know...I haven't seen Blade in forever.

Diablo Robotico Up.

I really got thinking about this after I saw Blade II last year, because the genetically-altered super vamps (that hunted on regular vamps) in that film have similar physical characteristics and strengths of the Buffyverse "Turok-Han" ubervamps. It also seems that the Mutant Enemy creative team was borrowing from the Lord of the Rings story with the Turok Han. The Urok Hai seem to be a straight copy.

The vampires in the Blade franchise have the usual weaknesses -- stakes through the heart, sunlight, but can also be killed by silver bullets. There is only one other place where I've seen the silver-bullet weakness for vamps, in a Batman comic from over 60 years ago that was in an anthology titled "Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told." Of course, perhaps the Blade creative team was just looking for a way to put automatic weapons in the hand of a vamp hunter!

Like I said, just throwing something out there. I like both Blade and Buffy because they both play to interesting elements of the whole vamp mythology.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know this isn't fanfic, but what is it? Visual filk? It's like fandom and the internet and ... dunno. It's not something I could explain to my grandmother, even were she not, um, dead.

Do people do that a lot?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Icon sets to lyrics? All the time.

Of course, they only do one song I like. Figgers.

There's a whole Live Journal community, buffy_icons.

I see a lot of lyrics sets pop up on people's entries.
