The motel was the sort that rented rooms by the hour, equipped with a stained mattress, matted and ancient shag carpet, and a television which could also be rented by the hour. Its single mean window was mostly blocked by a hulking old air conditioning unit. Even to Riley’s human senses, it […]
It’s strange how the mind works. All week I’ve been following the events going on in southeast Asia, listening to NPR and watching the death toll rise. I’ve been disgusted and ashamed as our pitiful excuse for a president can’t be bothered to make a statement for days, and then offers up an […]

So this morning Kathy said, “Hey, there’s another present stuck in back of the tree.” We pulled it out and opened it, and it’s a Watcher’s Retreat 2004 t-shirt. Squee! queenofattolia, this SO makes up for the leprechaun my brother sent. SMOOCH!
It’s been a pretty good Christmas.

This is what I’ve got so far: The story’s set in December of 2004, almost two years after the end of POM. It’s going to be from Giles’s POV, possibly first person if I’m feeling ambitious. He’s visiting Sunnydale, both to see Buffy and to scope out what she and Spike are […]
Anyone feel like letting me bounce plot stuff for the Christmas story off you? You should be spoiled or willing to be spoiled for POM…
