Well, hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but it's my experience that even if most of the men I've known in this life don't hold a grudge for as long as I will, the "YOU HURT MONGO YOU DIE NOW!" thing burns a lot hotter and brighter for the shorter duration.

I suspect there are quite a few male vengeance demons. Incubuttkicks.

Lordy, bed is calling.

Nice one, Deb.

Love that, Deb.

Thanks, all. Everyone in F2F was talking about dumping their families for the holidays, and I took it one step farther.

This week's Sunday100 was "cliches." Dude, I had some fun.

In Which Spike Acquires A Coat

"You can't win."

She circled him, her eyes tracking his face, his hands, his feet. Spike wasn't really bigger than she was; Nikki was strongly built, but in this guise, hungry as a vicious bear, he was faster than usual, and dangerous. One hand on the stake, she desperately tried to maintain her balance on the moving A-train.

"Don't you watch movies?" she taunted. "I'm good, you're evil, baybee. Good always wins."

"Life's not a movie, luv." The lights flickered, the train swayed. "This time, evil wins."

"Bite me," she sneered.

"Fine by me, luv."

And the lights went out.

Grr. Trying to come up with a name for a vengeance demon is quite tricky. The story I'm working on is set post BtVS S7, so I can't use Halfrek or Anyanka. I'm guessing that the best thing to do would be to look for a Nordic/Russian sounding name and tinker with it a bit.

Something with consonants in. Sarek. (No, he was a Vulcan.) Emlekah (what my brother used to call me when I was in a bad mood. My real name, Emma, plus 'little Karen', because Karen was an older girl we knew who shouted at everyone.) Barlok. Bradin.

I like Emlekah. That's a very cool name.

Sorry for not posting my appreciation for the most recent works in here. My computer broke and then I lost internet access for awhile last night. All is well again and I'm still enjoying everything.

I haven't watched anymore than the first two episodes of HLotS yet. Maybe if I've been good and packed a few boxes today I can treat myself to another episode tonight.

Well, I'm glad you liked them. When I read that I was all proud and then it was like "You didn't write them, you idiot. Chill!" If (or I suppose I should be positive and say "when") I write something that more than say, 30 people read, I expect I'll be kind of obnoxious about it.
