OK, see, I can't write this, because I know precisely zilch of Karen.
But if you could do the Karen bits, see, and I could do my feral little Darla, well, then....
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Up with the sun
I think vamp!Karen and Darla would get along rather well, but I can't write it.
Edit: Plus, the timeline is weird. I guess Karen could have gone to L.A. to buy shoes and booze after Darla was revamped but before she realized she was pregnant.
Edit 2: But, of course, it's already way the hell AU, so we could just decide the whole pregnancy thing never happened and set it any time after mid-S2 Angel. Or anytime before 1997.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I've got a depressing little AU fic up in my livejournal.
Not sure why I was moved to write this particular thing, but hey. It's not spoilery at all, unless you stopped watching sometime in Season Three.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm told her actual speaking voice is quite different, unlike Drescher (thank goodness for her if it's true).
It is. If you watch some of the very early W&G eps in reruns, the Karen voice is not quite so...Karen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was her sitcom before? She was slimmer -- and completely missable with the normal voice and samely-pretty looks.
I like her Karen much better, though I don't watch the show.

Nah, it could be part of the rewrite post Connor-erasure.

Oh, Holli! That was just *wonderful.*

Yes, anyone who has not yet read Holli's story, go read it now.
Anyone who has an LJ, pimp far, pimp wide. PIMP! PIMP!
Because it deserves to be read, damn it.
