I loved ‘em. I still do. But it has to be said. BtVS and AtS are OVER. Repeat after me:
Logan is not Spike. Veronica is not Buffy. Jack Harkness is not Angel, even if they both wear long swirly coats. Neither is Mick St. John. Captain John is […]

Still working overtime. Money good. Ten hour days not so much.
Got a fairish bit done on the next installment of “Little Sister’ done over the weekend. Doubt I’ll have time to work on it during the week, but with luck I should be able to hand it over to my betas next […]
OK, so I take the day off so I can take Kathy to her surgery appointment later, and think I will get some writing done on the side, and what happens? Wham, cramps. Thank you ever so, body.
Last night, at various points, I dreamed that I was A) A test pilot […]
Fic noodling

This is just a silly little unbeta’d ficlet, inspired by my observation that if one takes certain canonical implications to their logical conclusion, then Our Heroes are made for each other in more way than one…

Disclaimers: The usual. All belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy, and naught to me.
Rating: R-ish to NC-17

INT. BARB’S HEAD. The Great and Powerful Author (hereinafter referred to as BARB) is slouched in front of her computer, surfing fandom_wank hard at work. Enter SPIKE, stage left. He is wearing sweats and has a towel around his neck.
SPIKE: Oi! You!
BARB: What?! I was writing! I swear! […]
Hey! You! That’s right, YOU! It’s seasonal_spuffy time! And if you don’t sign up, Emo!Spike will cut himself. And cry. You don’t want to make Emo!Spike cry, do you?
Long weekend

Things I have learned today:
How to adjust the tension on a chain saw.
That when you have lopped all the dead, whippy, eight-foot-branches-covered-in-inch-long-thorns off your bouganvilla, they make a pile approximately six times larger than the bush itself was.
Trader Joe’s Chili-Lime cashews are more chili and less lime than I would have preferred.

Ok, you know how I occasionally bemoan the fact that there are very, very few Spike/Willow writers out there who write versions of the characters whom I recognize as Spike and Willow? I just found another one. c_woodhaven has an awesome little S8 Spike/Willow ficlet here. Thanks to philips for pointing it […]

1. What was the first story you ever wrote? What inspired you to write it?
The first story I wrote was in first grade, because we were assigned to write a story. I wrote about a brave pony rescuing his master from drowning in an icy pond. I am pretty sure I ripped the […]

1. When did you start watching?
Some time in the 70s, when the local PBS station was running the Pertwee episodes.
1a. Why?
