in which i fail at fic

[lirazel]

Y'all, help me decide if I can actually commit to seasonal_spuffy this round. Because last round I ended up posting nothing for the first time ever, and I am worried I will do that again this round.

Keep in mind that:

+ I haven't started my rarewomen entry

+ I haven't started my Het Mpreg entry, either (when is that due again?)

+ I haven't written anything fic-wise since January, and that was just comment fic for the Bechdel Ficathon. Before that the last thing (of length) I wrote was for Yuletide.

+ My mind is pretty much in my novel-place.

Uuuuugh, I don't know. Like, I love SS. I think it's helping so much to keep our fandom alive and such. And I want to participate! But I just don't know!

That said, leave some things you'd like to see in Buffy/Spike fic in the comments. Maybe something will take over my brain?

gryfndor_godess and I were discussing a while back that we'd like a Spuffy shag-or-die fic sometime in S7 or post-series, when they aren't in a relationship and each doesn't know how the other feels about them and it's all very awkward and shy and tentative. And there's sex, yes, but it's when they talk it all out that they finally get on the road to Spuffydom.

Alternately, you could write a Spike-loses-his-soul-again fic. Like, permanently. And now what do they do? I'm always up for more of those.

Hmm. That is a lot of plot I'm suggesting there.

Alternately, I recall you saying you really love Vienna, yeah? So send Spike and Buffy there, post-NFA, and have them discover all your favorite places.

Edit: het mpreg ficathon is "due" (for certain values thereof) March 25th. Rare Women is due end of April, I think?

Edit edit: You know we will be said if there is no Lauren-fic, but you gotta do what you gotta do for the sake of the novel. So.

OH MAN I WANT THAT TOO. But I don't know if I'm the one to write it--you know about me and the sex. I usually just fade-to-black with that.

I LOVE Spike-loses-his-soul-again fic.

It is indeed!

I have always meant to do a Vienna fic! That might be low-key enough for me!

Okay, I think I can handle all that.

You know we will be said if there is no Lauren-fic, but you gotta do what you gotta do for the sake of the novel. So.

This is my way of thinking. Hopefully I can come up with something.

SECONDING THE VIENNA FIC. You know you want to.
