Asprin Myth-verse/Buffy
Daniel, come over to Bitchy Fic and talk to me about this, please. I've just started reading Asprin's Myth-verse, and the possiblities are wonderful.
Okay, I'm here...
I don't usually talk about works in progress, as I'm paranoid I'll find out my ideas aren't unique and decide not to finish. I'm, of course, pathetic in that way.
I have a number of notes about this fic, and I've written some experimental scenes.
I set the Myth-verse story a couple of years after the last Myth book. Skeeve a little more mature and capable, things have progressed. I hear Asprin has broken his writer's block. Damn. now I need to read the new story.
My story takes place sometimes after "Triangle" in the Buffyverse. Olaf the troll did not end up in the Trollverse. Indeed, he landed somewhere in the bazaar at Deeva. Maybe even at Gus's Diner. Havok ensued.
The story begins as Skeeve follows Olaf's trail back to the Buffyverse. He follows the lines of force which, of course, intersect at the hellmouth and the Magic Box.
And of course, Willow and Tara at Deva, Willow and Anya? maybe.
And thoughts of Olaf/Massha
Anya/Skeeve flirtyness? With a jealous Xander.....
Riley Finn: Demon Hunter? I have an idea that a photo of Riley will reveal he is the spitting image of Quigley of Klad.
Well, Aahz and Anya talk shop, and Anya and Tanada shop shop? Maybe. not sure how much Aahz will be in there.
More Tim and Buffy. "I'm sorry," Bayliss said, blushing. "That wasn't very professional, was it? You were saying something about guilt."
"Ms. Calendar's dead, and it's all my fault...well, not literally. But it's like I armed Angelus."
"It's not your fault if he became obsessed with you,Buffy. Many stalking victims often feel that they could have done more to handle the situation." To say nothing of homicide detectives, he thought.
"I took his soul. When we...after we...and then, when I had the chance to kill him, I hesitated."
"What did you do instead?"
"Kicked him in the crotch."
"I'm sure for the first minute, he wished he was dead....I'm sorry I'm making these sick jokes. It's how we handle it.
"My friend Xander does that, too.
"Xander could have a long, miserable career in the glamorous world of law enforcement."
I don't usually talk about works in progress, as I'm paranoid I'll find out my ideas aren't unique and decide not to finish.
I know of no other stories like this one, Daniel, so I think you're fairly safe on that score. And while I'm enjoying the series, I'm not quite ready to fic it yet.
And of course, Willow and Tara at Deva, Willow and Anya? maybe.
Anya at Deva is a fine plan. She'd fit in well.
Riley Finn: Demon Hunter? I have an idea that a photo of Riley will reveal he is the spitting image of Quigley of Klad.
Skeeve's original master? yeah, that could be interesting...
I like this plan, Daniel. I hope you'll keep writing and share the finished product.
of Quigley of Klad.
Skeeve's original master? yeah, that could be interesting...
No that was Gharkin. Quigley was the naive rogue demon hunter guy they met in the woods when Skeeve and Aahs set off the find Isstvan (not Isstvan), who had sent teams after Gharkin. He shows up later in the book, and in other Myth Adventures.
Xander as Cop.
t delighted shiver
sorry, just imagined him in a rumpled suit, looking world-weary as he berates some punk. "You think you're a bad ass? You? I laugh."
no ... no more bunnies . . . please . . .
"I like the quiet streets."
Xander as Cop. sorry, just imagined him in a rumpled suit, looking world-weary as he berates some punk. "You think you're a bad ass? You? I laugh."
This is a really, really, REALLY good idea. Older Xander. Worldly wise Xander. A Xander who isn't going to take any shit.
But will he be Bitter!Xander? or Cool!Xander?
