It's an orangine sky, always it's some other guy
Guess what! What? I'm not dead, that's what!

I guess a few of you know that I've been around, very occasionally commenting, but reading ye olde fliste damn near everyday. You people never fail to be interesting - it's me who's the bore.

In an effort to be somewhat less of a bore, though, I've signed up for [info]nwhepcat's It's the Writer's, Stupid! Ficathon. Since this is more than likely to be my last fic (I'm just not feeling it anymore), I thought I'd throw it open to y'all on what I should write. These are my thoughts, so far:

1. A missing scene from Sunday Girl

2. A missing scene from Gamble When You Get A Face

3. A Spike/Dru historical story - you'd have to suggest an era

4. The NC-17 cut of the Spike/Dawn fic, Bending Spaghetti

5. Something that you're curious to see how I would write it. You'd have to let me know, though, why you think it's something that's a particular fit for me.

No guarantees about anything - if a bunny bites (though they've avoided me like the bunny plague for the last couple of years), I'm going with it.

Weigh in, be heard, let me know you've missed me!

Sigh, happy as I am to haunt, I am kinda tired of my silly old moniker. Just haven't thought up a new one to replace it with.

Dead in name only, m'dear.

I am curious as to why your friended me more than a year after my last post. How did you know this wasn't a dead parrot, er, journal?

I friended you a long time ago, and I'm sure it was due to a friend's recommendation. And what a non-cordial response.

Whoa! Holy misunderstandings, batman! I'm glad you friended me - I find your posts very entertaining and I was flattered you thought I might be interesting to check out.

This is totally my fault - teasing is my default mode of expressing that I like someone. But it does come back and bite me sometimes. I thought you were teasing back.

I'm so sorry you felt that I wasn't thrilled to have you around.

OH, Ok. Sorry! I have times when I get ultra sensitive, and tonight was apparently one of them.

Let's start again?

Yes, please!

I should have said so way, way sooner, but I'm very glad you friended me and gave me an opportunity to get to know you (and Riley!).

What's your favourite historical era in which Spike and Dru might conceivably appear??

[cheers you on]

I'd say the 20s but I've already done that. I'm too lazy to do any actual research so that severely limits my options. I probably shouldn't have even given that as an option. The Gay 90s maybe? The 30s? Hmm...

I've missed you, though I'm much to obsessed with my own fic projects to insist that other people write a certain thing. Do what you feel, sweetie.

That's the problem, though, innit? I'm not feeling much of anything fic-wise.

BTW, lovelovelove the new place. A mix of Deco and Beaux Arts is my favorite style!

You have been missed. I wondered where you were off too and I am glad to see you!!!


(I'm just not feeling it anymore)

Maybe you just need another fandom to dip, bite into. ::pimps SPN::

I watch SPN and enjoy it, but no fic bug has bit me for it. Not even to read.

Glad to hear you enjoy it. As to the no bugs, I wouldn't worry about it. It will strike you when it needs to. I read a poem the other day, that said that when the poem feels farthest away, that is when it is the closest. I am hoping really hard that is true. For you too if you want it to be.

Yay on your non-deadness! It's good to see you in the post-y flesh!

Hmm, a historical Spike 'n' Dru? Cool! I've always wondered where they went after China... or maybe we could find out why Dru hated Paris and the existentialists.

Hey hey hey!

How do you feel about Hollywood in the 30s? (I don't think I have enough time or energy to research enough about Paris and the existentialists.)

Of course I recognize you, silly! I'm glad you've been posting more, too. Congrats on the name change - I'm trying to think of one for myself, too.

Thanks, it was very, very hard. It's a play on lounge lizard - the girl version I suppose. What are you leaning towards, pray tell?

Spike/Dru historical - the 1930s. Would love that. Mind you, would equally love a missing scene from Sunday Girl.

I think I've noodled a way to include both ideas (boring meetings all day at work).

I'm thinking Hollywood or American dustbowl. Kind of Carnivale-ish, if you know that show.

Thanks for the idea!

Hey!! :;waves::

Y'know, I find it hard to believe that you're boring. I would love to see you posting more often!

I have nothing more to say except I've weighed in, I've spoken, I've missed you!

Hey yourself!

As evidence of my boringness, I'm sitting here drumming my fingers on the edge of the keyboard wondering what to say. Except sometimes I get off the edge and end up typing salkjld;kjfgo rgho; sagohn.

A missing scene from Sunday Girl would be very tasty, I think.

Who's my little applepiepants? Who's my silly booboo?

I'm thinking about a story within a story to satisfy two of the above options. I hope I'm not going to regret my ambition, though.

The masses, er the fewses, have spoken, SG it is, with a little extra which may make it appropriate for the fanged four community.

Is your icon gankable?

I know you're crazy busy, but I'm alway glad to see you post.

oh sure...gank it. I can't remember where I found it, but the credit is on my pictures page.

And of COURSE it's good for the Fanged Four. It doesn't have to be all four of the vampires to fit the comm. Just as long as they are in their vampire mode, then it's all good.
