"I don't believe him," Pembleton said. "I think the hardest part for Tim would be keeping him from draining himself. Because Tim's not like the rest of us, oh no. Not him. Tim wants to be a hero."

This breaks my heart, because I can't not think about the final Frank'n'Tim scene in the H:LotS movie.

As Deb said, erika, you got the voices exactly right.

Funny. Cause I missed that, kind of, in favor of "Buffy's not like the rest of us. She's a hero." But, yeah, that last scene? Sniff. (If I'd been in Pembleton's place, I'd not have said anything, but my morality is more...elastic than his.Especially with my friends. I would take that to my grave with me. But I'm not Frank. I just play him on the internet.) And if feedback really does "make you sexy" you guys have been like Spike/Mrs. Peel sandwich.Thanks.Andbecause you've not heard enough me lately, Homicide detectives are not usually present for the leading away in handcuffs thing, or are they? Cause Lenny and Whoever do it sometimes. But Frank N Tim, NSM. And in the book "Homicide...Etc., they're pretty specific about talking about "uniforms" in that context.(Can you tell I want a shortcut to put Angelus in the Box? Cause I do. And I haven't written a fight scene since I was 10 and that one involved lightsabers.

Having BtVS done by the Muppets crossing my idle fancy/keeping me from job hunting.

It's time to make some stakes up
It's time to fight the fight.
It's time to make like Buffy
On the Muppet Show tonight!

Hmmm.

Kermit the Vampire Slayer? Miss Piggy?

Rowlf is Xander....or would Fozzie be better?

Dr. Teeth or Gonzo as Giles?

No direct comparisons in the major characters, but lots of various muppets to take up the slack.

Of course, Kermit could be Spike, with Miss Piggy as Harmony....

I'm thinking of Animal saying "Vam pi Errr! Vam pi Errr! Arrrrrgh!"

Fozzie is a total Andrew, IMO.

This is my first time posting in here but, erika, i've been loving your Buffy/H:LotS so much I had to pipe up!

If you ever make it to Baltimore, you'll get a D-Lux Homicide Highlights tour courtesy of me. I'm in line for my dad's dvds. I can't wait to see the eps again now that I'm really familiar with the town.

Now that I'm posting here it occurs to me that I had a Buffy crossover dream the other night that could make a really creepy fic. It was the Buffy crew in 28 Days Later-land. I woke up screaming (in my head) "THEY'RE NOT ZOMBIES, THEY'RE VAMPIRES!!!!"

(not sure of spoiler etiquette for movies...thinking it has something to do with release date. But good excuse to try to white font for the first time)

You know what really blows my mind about erika's piece?

The seamless transition of the entire squad to Sunnydale, complete with the attitudes and the lack of surprise. I mean, you could actually do a TV show on the basis of this piece.

I can't wait to hear Frank waxing grim and lyrical on the subject of a copshop situated on a hellmouth. This, after all, is the man who made that brilliant comment about "going to Catholic school for the first seven years, the nuns made me feel all safe and sheltered, then they sent me off to the Jesuits and I haven't felt safe since."

Thanks, lisah. That would rock. I would love to visit "Charm City"(And the ironic fingerquotes, not mine, naturally. I just hear it that way, now.) Yeah, I figure drug dealing, transvestite hookers or Evil Undead, it's just another day at the office.Besides, even if they were completely stunned, they'd never let it show, anyway. Not till they went home at night.(But initially, I did have more of a portally concept that I'm glad I didn't use. The AU has been more effective.)Especially since this all came from "What if Sunnydale PD wasn't 'deeply stupid'?But nobody answered my question, she said, greedily. How would they bring Angelus in?

I would love to visit "Charm City"

And we'd love to have you visit!

Fic-ma would be greatly appreciated, by the way. I've got several pieces I'm working on, and I'm stalled on each and every one.

Definite ficma from the rookie...before this, I had fictus interruptus. Another thing I will do one day is write a fic with Kay as acentral character that a. Doesn't make her Mary Sue with a gun, despite my Hair Envy B. Lets her say "Hmm? and "Uh huh" without sounding like that guy from "Sling Blade". Cause ok, she says that a lot, but it's not like a tic, huh?Some people have no idea what talking sounds like, says Vanity Gal.

Note: Because I am a feedback slut, part of the 5 things Anya story is up in my Livejournal. It's quite draftish, but it amuses me.
