"I don't see anyone else here," the voice from the shadows continued. "Yes, Tall, Pale and Haunted...I'm talking to you." Spike snorted a "get new material" snort. "Does your mother know you're out?"
"No," Tim said, honestly. "My mother would really hate this."
Spike's leather coat was not a costume. Bayliss bet luminal would light it like a Christmas tree. "Funny," he said, his face now a mass of angry ridges and yellow eyes "Mine too."

SLASH!
erika's writing TimenSpike FLASH!
WHEEEEEEEEEEE!
Yeah. Timmy's my black dress. He goes with everything. But I don't get to wear him everywhere. Rats.
Oh, wow, Erika, that's really cool.
I feel like I should know this, but I don't. What's this mean?

Luminal is a chemical they put on stuff to make blood show up. If it does, it glows. Now I feel like I need a show "All I know I learned from Lenny Briscoe." or "Mr. Pembleton's Neighborhood."
Ah, I thought it had something to do with blood or fingerprints, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it. Now I remember, a novel where a house glowed with it, though it looked perfectly clean without.
Yep, it can pick up tiny specks. Spike's jacket, pretty glowing. That scene, without Spike being in it, is the one I talk about all the time, with the leather, and the oosting. But that whole ep is hot.
Luminol turns blood a pretty luminescent blue, Deena.
Package mailed out today, BTW.
So if you sign up for a ficathon, and you're assigned a character you don't know much about, is it acceptable to ask for help here? (Not writing help, more "what episodes should I watch, what are good stories with this character"-type stuff.) I know ficathon assignments are supposed to be semi-anonymous until published, but I need to do some research if I'm gonna write this character remotely well.
I've done exactly that in the past, Lyra. (Although at the time I think I asked in FF, RW+E, because it was HP-verse stuff for slash-the-slashers and this was Bitchy Fic, almost Buffy+Angel only, at the time.) I say, ask away.
