oh, y'all

I've never had any desire to write an All Human fic, but now I'm sort of wanting to write a sci-fi story where Buffy is a general and Spike is her mortal enemy-turned-second-in-command. I don't even know what this fic would be about, I just love that dynamic between them. UGH.

I will not start this fic. November and NaNoWriMo are mere days away, and I have to focus on my novel.

I will not start this fic.

HAHAHA MY MOODTHEME. Every time I think about changing it, something like that will pop up and I'll remember why I love it in the first place.

I feel your pain on novel vs. fic!!

That is a very delicious plot bunny, though. *g* Would they be mortal enemies b/c Spike was evil or because they just fought on opposite sides of a war, etc.? In Star Trek: Voyager, two opposing crews have to team up, and the "winning" captain makes the other captain her second-in-command to try to decrease hostility between the crews.

*mind wanders* Buffy wouldn't trust him and would always be questioning his motives, and he'd slowly fall in love with her and become the best second-in-command ever, and she'd be like, "What are your nefarious plans??", and he'd be like, "Nothing!" sadface!... Mmm mmm mmm.

If you don't mind me asking, is your NaNo novel the Scarlet Pimpernel in space one or a new one?

So many things to consider! Wouldn't it be fun to write? *happy sigh*

YES!

I've put the Scarlet Pimpernel one on hiatus for a while since there are things I need to figure out about how to deal with it before I finish it. I'll be working on a post-apocalyptic young adult novel instead. It's kiiiiiinda vaguely like "Scarlet and Midnight"? Just in the sense that I'm going to use a lot of those locations and such.

Ugh. Not another one of those. Anything but that for the love of my sanity. Though I do like the scifi genre.
