hipster vampire

One of my favourite cartoons was in Playboy in the late sixties. Showed a hippie, crumpled in a heap in a dark alley at night. And reeling off with this loopy grin on his face and his eyes rolling and a huge multi-coloured kaleidescope "voice" balloon coming out of his head was a very stoned vampire, obviously having sunk his fangs into someone deep into 5000 mikes of Owsley's best clearlight.

He probably sat there for hours watching his hand move. A few times I've sat down intending to write something to Explore something, and that usually doesn't work at all...what's that about?

Watching my S3 Buffy DVDs, I was struck with the need for Gwendolyn Post/Xander fic.

Any takers?

Oh, MY, Steph. Now that's going to percolate...

Intriguing, but I doubt I'll have time for it. My fics take too long...you'd be "Gwendolyn Who?" before I finished.

Oh, MY, Steph. Now that's going to percolate...

Heh. I just want to see Xander hurt a little.

Patience, Teppy, patience . . .

Magpie (Piedmargaret on LJ), has a little drabble challenge going on at the moment.

My entry:

The Younger Summers Sister

Sometimes, Dawn resents that Buffy has more memories of Mom than she does. Buffy will always have more memories of Mom, because Buffy's older, just like Buffy will always be the reason her teachers expect her to start cutting classes or starting fights, just because her last name is Summers and they've heard of her sister.

All the teachers have heard of her sister. It's never anything good. Sometimes she wants to scream, "I'm the younger Summers sister, the good one, remember?" She was, until the year Mom died. Except that she wasn't. She wasn't real.

Dawn resents that, too.

Here's mine....it's ok, not great.

The One Handed Lawyer He’s always the one-handed lawyer. Even if he has the best prosthesis evil money can buy, the story always gets out, and then people become fascinated with his left arm, like he has some hook under there like in some campfire story. He also billed more hours this year than the incomparable Lilah Morgan, but people never ask about that. Even his rise from a town most people in LA don’t even fly over is not as interesting as what happened to his arm, not what actually happened, just the mere fact of leaving a part of himself somewhere.

So addictive...

The Dark Slayer

It's weird, being one of many, not one of two. Five years, she's been the bad Slayer, the dark Slayer, the other Slayer. The one that's not Buffy, the one with blood on her hands. Evil, that's what Angel said Wes called her.

There's blood all over her now. Her blood, B's blood, Robin's and Kennedy's and Rona's, all over her hands and shirt. Hellmouth's history, so's prison. Maybe she's the one on the left, or the one handing out bandages, but she sure as hell ain't what she was.

Maybe she's just Faith. She likes the sound of that.
