Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
Ok. Am mulling two Amanda Lisle stories around. One would be a prequel, how she trained as a Slayer, got involved with Giles, the events in the Woodstock Road. Working title is "The Needfire".
Second one would be the resolution of the current Big bad story arc and Buffy as slayer, period. Working title is "A Bright Particular Star."
deborah is my new favorite person.
It's incredibly tiny on my screen, but I expect that's something in my browser or layout or screen resolution or something, yes?
t guilty I like Verdana 9. A lot. Like I said, I just went with my favorite layout. When I get back onto the other computer, I'll change it.
Sweetie, if it's visible on everyone else's screens, I'm fine with it just as is. I know that we have our big screen monitor set to some uberhigh resolution thing that makes my website look tiny. But when I access it from Nic's computer at work? Normal size.
deborah is my new favorite person.
Me? Why? What did I do? I'll do more of it, if it's this easy. See, usually this whole "favourite person" thing involves me sending pastry through the post (ita, Allyson, and host of local Buffistae....)
edit: I meant that an 11-point type on our screen looks more like a 7. So the 9 is literally a grey smear on my screen. But I'm pretty damned sure that's only on my screen. And you're right, it's a gorgeously readable typeface.

I would be happy to read either or both.
Excellent...
I'll likely do both, Steph. It's just a question of fitting them in.
Will post in sections, as work progresses.
My writers group people are late, damnit. Luckily, it's an indestructible dinner (pasta y fagioli alla tenore, simmering away). But they're still late and we have at least four people wanting to read tonight.
You know what's fun? Editing fic with a soundtrack. I've been pulling together "Reflections" to the soundtrack to Branagh's Henry V. I had the Battle of Harfleur backing up the destruction of the Council and St. Crispin's behind Giles on the train platform asking Ethan to help. Boy, mood music really does pump up storytelling. I feel like putting recommended music in with this.
But I won't.
I wrote almost all of On the Edge (the trip through Wes's mind during Billy) while listening to Closer and Head like a Hole.
Should I be pleased or ridiculously smug about it?
I, personally, am pleased any time any writer in here gets a plot bunny, and will continue to do my part in breeding or shooing them into hutches every darn chance I get. I love reading this thread. Thank you all so much.
I had a whole Depeche Mode based soundtrack for Dark They Were.
It was slashtastic.
