Well, I was answering some feedback the other day and it struck me that I try to give Buffy and Spike more or less equal time and treatment so far as screen time, who gets to be POV character, who gets to solve the mystery/defeat the baddy/whatever. (At least, I think I do; a […]

1. What is your penname/nom de plume/author name/alias/handle?
I usually post stories under Barb C. or Barb Cummings.

I just realized that I’m having exactly the same arguments today that I did four years ago. I’m just having them with a different group of fans. Anyway, it prompted me to make an all-purpose icon for those days when you stare at your screen and mutter, “God, I feel old.”
And also this […]
