For Day Two of my celebration of the Summers sisters, I have graphics! Or, at least I tried to make graphics. I'm still stumbling through learning how to do that. (And ladyofthelog, your tutorial was way helpful!) But I tried!

So after weeks of stressing; working on and then rejecting not one, not two, but three separate stories; whipping this up out of thin air yesterday; and then getting it whipped into shape by betas who clearly know way more about what they're doing than I do, I have posted my seasonal_spuffy entry.

Whew!

Title: Basiare
Written for: seasonal_spuffy
Rating: PG
Timeperiod: post-“Not Fade Away”
Warning: some Buffy/Other
Thanks to: My betas: angearia for perspective, encouragement, and some of the best bits of dialogue; and snickfic for squee, snark, clarity, and saying, “Um, I think this needs a shape. You know, an actual arc.” Y’all constantly save me from myself. Thanks as well to quinara for Latin-y type help with the title.
A/N: This is a prequel to Infinitas Infinitio Infinitus. It’s not necessary that you read that fic, though you might enjoy it after you’ve finished this one. :D
Summary: “She didn’t kiss him hello, and she doesn’t kiss him goodbye.” This is Buffy and this is Spike and they’ve never done anything the easy way.

So. Probably tonight, possibly tomorrow, I’m going to start the Three Sentence Fic-a-Thon here. For those of you who haven’t ever participated in one, you should take a look over here to see how it works.

It’s fairly straightforward: someone posts a prompt [Fandom – Pairing/Character – Prompt format] of any kind, and if you’re interested, you write a tiny story in three sentences in reply. You can post as many prompts as you wish and answer as many as strike your fancy. But remember: only three sentences! Run-ons are acceptable, but try to keep in mind that you are not William Faulkner and clarity is key! Also, creative use of punctuation is encouraged (I’m more than mildly obsessed with punctuation, so this is like a dream come true for me).

For those of you who don’t write much (or at all), this is a great way to stick your toes in the water—no commitment, really; the limits aren’t as strict as that of drabbles; and it’s fun! Really, it’s ideal for people without a lot of writing experience, and I really encourage you to put your trepidation aside and give it a try. You’ll like it!

Any fandom/any pairing/any character. Be creative! If you haven’t figured it out by now, I am not a one-fandom girl. So if you’re mostly here for the Buffy (as many of you are), but you’ve always had an abiding love of Lord of the Rings: post a prompt! Odds are someone else loves that fandom, too! (And yes, redsilverchains, I will write you Tony/Michelle.)

I’m hopefully going to post one of those little scrolly boxes that let you paste html code so that you can copy/paste it into your journals (if I can figure out how to do that. Guidance, anyone?). Please, please pimp it out. These things only work if there’s quite a bit of participation. I know a few of you run communities—if you want, you can pimp it there, too. Whatever works!

It will go on until interest fizzles out; the last one lasted for nearly two months. So if you can’t participate this weekend, show up next week sometime! If things go as I hope, it’ll still be going on.

This is the first time I’ve hosted something like this, so I’m both nervous and excited. We’ll see how it goes!

If you think you might be interested in joining in, drop me a line in the comments, just so I can get a feel for it. This isn't a commitment, just an indication of interest.

Yay!

Y'all! There's an all-fandom Three Sentence Fic-a-thon going on here and y'all should all go participate immediately. Immediately.

My first (of hopefully many) prompt reply is here: Edmund, Narnia, maps. That's right.

And redsilverchains has invented the genius-pairing-you-never-knew-you-wanted: Sara Crewe/Colin Craven. THAT'S RIGHT. Read it here.

About a thousand and a half years ago, I posted the first part of a fic for good__evil"s Art-a-thon. You may or may not remember it. I subsequently got completely distracted by a million other things and I've only just recently returned to it. I apologize profusely that it took so long; I've had a blast writing it, and with some encouragement (*coughangeariacough*), I'm back with the next chapter! And I'm already working on the one after that!

So! On to the next chapter of Dawn-worship!

Title: Love and Blackmail
Fandom: Buffyverse
Written for: good__evil's Art-a-Thon
Rating: PG-13
Timeline: post-"Not Fade Away"
Characters/Pairings: Dawn, Buffy/Spike, Andrew, the Immortal, OC Slayer
Warnings: Dawn worship. You heard me.
Installment: Two of three.
A/N: Title and summary quote come from "The Pomegranate" by Eavan Boland, one of my favorite poets. Artwork by the talented amyxaphania. And many, many thanks to angearia for characterization thoughts, polka suggestions, and understanding my Immortal (hee!) even better than I do. Most of his better lines (and some of Dawn's!) in this section are her handiwork. Thanks so much!
Summary: "Love and blackmail are the gist of it." Dawn knows exactly what her sister needs in order to move on after Sunnydale--and exactly how to make it happen.

Previous chapter here.



( Part Two )

Continued in Part Three.

This is the greatest thing that's ever been invented in the history of ever, and y'all should all do it. I'm so excited! My requests are here. Some of them are incredibly esoteric (I don't expect anyone to actually do the Press Gang or William/Lux stuff, but I threw them out there just in case). Now I have to decide whose I'm going to fulfill!

Can I also just add that I'm tickled pink at all the Leverage requests, especially the Parker/Hardison ones? I ship them so hard. I can't wait to go back through when everyone's written their stuff!

Another location drabble turned choco_cherries  entry.  ineffort, that devious genius, came up with the most random crossover pairing ever, and I had to try it out.

Title:  Rebel Waltz
Fandoms:  Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars
Characters/Pairing: Jenny Humphrey, Vincent "Butters" Clemmons
Rating:  PG
Wordcount:  397
Written for: choco_cherries  Week 29
Summary:  "Tomorrow she'll probably shake her head at herself, wondering what she was thinking."  

For xc_runner50 , who wanted  Spike/Buffy, Satsu the Ex Spike didn't know about, but wished he did ;) Location is your choice.

This one isn't exactly location-y (it could happen anywhere), but it was really, really fun, plus there's a reference to L.A., so I like to think that satisfies the requirements.

References to the comics, which I haven't read, so sorry if I mess something up.  (Is the "ma'am" thing right?  I felt like I read that once upon a time.)

Enjoy!
