Hmmm....

I am tempted to sign up for the Girl Saves Boy fic-a-thon.



But I'm completely unsure of what I'd write. I feel like it's way too obvious for me to write Buffy saving Spike (though obviously in character--I love how Spike so often plays the damsel in distress--yay gender reversals!). I don't want to sing up unless I've got a really set plan. Any thoughts? Are y'all signing up? What fandoms are you writing for? This is a fantastic idea for a fic-a-thon, so I hope lots of people get involved.

I tried to resist but couldn't. It was like whoever is running the ficathon read my mind because just last weekend I was making a list of all my fandoms and noticed that suspiciously many of them involved awesome women saving their equally awesome but slightly incompetent boyfriends... :)

I checked my wip folders to see if I have anything suitable under work already and surprisingly I did :D
So I'll probably be writing Buffy/Spike set during "Showtime" or if I ran out of time - since the plotbunny is a fairly big one - something about The Mentalist (because Patrick Jane is even more of a damsel in distress than Spike).

This is like my favorite thing ever!

Ooh! Exciting! I love S7!Buffy/Spike more than anything, so I'd be thrilled if you wrote that one!

My biggest problem with that fic is that the "Showtime" part of it is really the third one of a triptych of S7 Spike/Buffy fics and I haven't even written the first one yet :/

...on the other hand, it would also fill a square on my hc_bingo card...

But I also have this crazy idea that if the ficathon allows WIPs, then
I could try to finish When the Rest of Heaven Was Blue" (a.k.a. "Behold! ruuger's ID!") because it's pure Girl-Saves-Boy from beginning to end... plus I already have 5000+ words written in my GoogleDocs and it would probably only take about 5000 words more to finish the damn thing once and for all... *ponders*

HA! I will be laughing forever at "Behold! ruuger's ID!"

I'm not much for reading WIPs (burned one too many times, you know), but if you do finish it, I can't wait to check it out--I suspect your ID will be an enjoyable place to visit!
