Hi from lostboy!

[lostboy]

Hey gang,

It's really great to see so much interest/zealotry/fiery passion on this forum.

I've been writing a BTVS Season 12 novel since 2007 called "Clocks of the Long Now." ( www.dark-solace.org/elysian/viewstory.php?sid=1643 ) Or, rather, I started it in '07, got a little sidetracked in '08 and picked it back up in '10 with a snakelike intensity. It won a few awards as a W.I.P. several years ago, but for a long time its conclusion has been like a wild and exotic and elusive animal for me, and I lost the joy in the hunt. Luckily, that's all behind me now, and the book is in the home stretch.

In any case I'm a big fan of the show, and of all of it's beautifully and tragically flawed characters. Thanks for building such a wonderful community for them to hang around in.

Cheers,
lostboy.

Hi there, nice to see you. Hope you'll have fun here.

I might get around to reading that story some day. How Spuffy-ish will it be?

Hrmmm... that's a tough one. I don't really consider it a Spuffy story. But on the other hand, almost all of the awards it won were in Spuffy categories, and I've mainly submitted it to Spuffy archives. It's a post-ATS fic, and the reunion of Buffy and Spike counts as one of its major arcs. From feedback I've gotten so far, I guess it's safe to say that it's very Spuffy-ish. But it's also very Willow-ish, very Xander-ish and very Giles-ish... if that makes any sense.

Just so you know it's a WIP (I know that bothers some people). But it's super close to finished.

Cheers,

Everyone who is considering her Spuffy story, it's really a Scooby story as well. She has superbly pinpointed each character's voice correctly.

She does Willow, Riley, Andrew, Giles, Xander, Spike, Buffy, Kennedy point of view etc. In addition new character's pov as well. It's very mind blowing.

Thanks so much, Executrix.

You've made me so proud, I don't even mind that you gender-bent me!

Apologies! I know you're a male writer and it's so silly because I recall your LJ passage update talking about you being a husband.

I was so excited while explaining.
