BtVS Fic Recs

Five Things Spike Does With Angel's Ashes by lyrstzha and written for MOI!!! It's no secret that I think Lyr is an absolutely brilliant writer, but this piece showcases her talent so well. (The woman should always write by request; every prompt I've ever given her has resulted in a gem like this one) Rather than being five separate vignettes, this short piece outlines the five things Spike does with Angel's ashes in chronological order after Angel's death. It's hurty, and oh so fitting, and there's Dru! *bounce*

Fic translated from French! With Angel and Wesley fractal_bat has been practicing her French for class by writing drabbles and then translating them into English for us. The results are hi-larious.

I think I'm going to start posting prompts, free for the taking for anyone who wants them (and how cool would it be if several different people wrote variations on the same prompt) because I'm not going to be writing fanfic for awhile and I can at least feel all inspirey.

The Great Prompting of Aught Six, Prompt One:

I already gave this prompt to hermionesviolin, but I think it's a good one, so I'll share. Choose a character you don't like in one of your fandoms and write a fic (drabble, ficlet, epic length novel) exploring why you don't like that character--just what it is about that character that squicks you, gets on your nerves, pisses you off, or makes you uncomfortable. I don't mean a character bashing fic; I mean one in which you really thoughtfully examine the elements of the character you don't like. Obviously, this prompt may go unclaimed, but if anyone does write a fic based on it, I'd love to know so I can read.

In response to that other post (http://lunabee34.livejournal.com/85816.html), I've taken you up on this in re: the Xander Story. I just don't have any inspiration, or a plot, or any words, or much of anything yet, and certainly didn't let you know that I had taken you up on it (less pressure that way). But your prompt got me thinking about Xander — who is the Ron of Buffy, but while I adore Ron and (would) write about him all the time, I'm not a particular fan of Xander-in-fanfic, even though I'm fond of Xander-in-canon. So at some point (hopefully once the Faith-Willow epic is nearing completion or is in revisions), I'll sit down and think about Xander. And then write about him.

Yay! I know that's a story I'll enjoy reading.

And it's good to talk to you. I haven't talked to so many people in quite some time because of my non eljaying of late. Anything new?

I'm unemployed.

I'm homeless (living with my parents).

And today, my stuff finally arrived from the east coast, and all my books got caught in the rain so they're all warped out of shape. That really sucked.

But other than that, said Mrs. Lincoln, the play was great.

[The good news is, I'm actually, really, actually, done. And thank you once again; I literally couldn't have done it without you.]

Oh no. Warpy books. That would kill me.

And congrats Ms. Dr. I'm very very proud of you.
