Summary:

After Giles' betrayal in "Helpless", Buffy cannot find it in herself to forgive him.

First thing I've written in aaages. First chaptered fic I've probably written since I was fourteen or so. Reasonably nervous about it.

I literally just read the issue, so I thought I'd give you my impressions here.

( Spoilers, of course.Collapse )

Because this is one of those fics where I tried to say a lot of things in the quite sparse words the fic is comprised of. Or maybe it's that a lot of thoughts went into why I wrote and phrased certain things the way I did. Thus, here the commentary. In which I may or may not be stating the obvious. I don't know how many of these things one could gather just by reading the fic. You tell me?


( Here you go.Collapse )

Last night, I received a message that I was nominated for rwsawards, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanworks award. Precisely, my two stories Pen & Paper and Take A Moment have been nominated.

As a perpetual lurker, this feels kind of unreal, but not at all bad. Nope, not in the least.

red_satin_doll, I am eyeing you really hard right now. ;D I don't know who else would have nominated me, so: thank you so much! ♥ You are SUCH a sweetheart and all the appreciation you shower me with makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Also I am SO still planning to reply to all your comments! It'll happen, I swear.

On that note; I did have a few new things loitering around my brain, I guess. Fic commentary for Pen & Paper, thoughts on Buffy, Faith & loneliness, thoughts on Buffy, feminism & anarchy (they were the 7 AM kinda thoughts okay shut up), fanarts... the problem is that I am also experiencing a major creative slump. I hate when that happens. :| Also I should probably use my time for Japanese homework instead of drawing Buffy looking sad oops.

Title: Take A Moment
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Tara Maclay, Buffy Summers, Dawn Summers, Scoobies
Rating: PG
Warnings: Canon character death; tw: grief.
Also literally just written, so no proofreading ever.

( And I'm going to consider it a compliment.Collapse )

SO yesterday I told you guys I was gonna post some Buffy-related stuff from tumblr over here. I also said I'm a hopeless Spuffy shipper. And 'lo, I unearthed a short meta piece that combines these things! Basically it's about Spuffy in light of Buffy's depression.

( In which I meta(phor)splurge.Collapse )

Hey there, flist! Haven't seen you in a while. I'm actually more often found on tumblr these days, so if you wanna follow me, feel free! Slight warning, these days I have become a Buffyholic. That's right, I am neck-deep in all things Buffy and it doesn't look to be getting better anytime soon. You might expect some Buffy-related things in the future. MORE WARNING: I ship awful gross things like Buffy/Spike with a tragic amount of ferocity, so you may expect that also.

Okay you know what I'm just gonna lay down the law in the land of Vallish Buffy-stanning:

- SPUFFY 5EVA they just hit like 100% of my storykinks ok it's like Anotsu/Rin actually happening
- I do not actually hate Bangel. Or Briley, for that matter. IDK I'M NOT BIG ON HATING. (Except Parker. Parker hate is permitted. To the extent that Parker is significant enough for hate.)
- Buffy/ladies is VERY FINE too (Fuffy & Buffy/Satsu yes plz)
- basically Buffy/everyone
- in case you couldn't tell I LOVE BUFFY this surprises no one
- Dawn Summers is awesome. Fight me.
- I love Spike but I think he is extremely gross a lot of the time
- an overabundance of Buffy-blaming really hits my sore spot
- basically I love all the ladies by default anyway because I am a lady-lover hurr
- I love sisships, broships, friendships and all varieties of 'ships
- I'm one of those people who just LOOOVES S6 because depression storyline. I can identify.
- I also love S7!
- not sure I'm loving the comics rn though :| DON'T HURT MY PRECIOUS [name redacted] OR I WILL HURT YOU.
- I do not think the show or the writers are these SUPER DUPER FEMINIST PARAGONS and there are some things where the series seriously falls short, but there are also things it gets right imo.
- anything I have forgotten will pop up in time.

So, yeah! I'm probably gonna post some of the stuff I've been putting on my tumblr over here (mostly for red_satin_doll's convenience; cookies were mentioned) over the next few days or so, beginning with a bit of meta I wrote a while ago on the S7 episode Help, and why I like it and think it does work for me quite well.

( Here goes metasplurge.Collapse )

SOOO. I live. And I'm, well, not entirely idle. I just submitted my very first t-shirt design to Threadless, aaand I would love it if you guys could have a look and maybe vote for me! Thank you. ♥

Yeah, I know. You missed those.
