Everybody's doing it! (By everybody, I mean angearia and snickfic, of course!) I don't have any confidence I'll do it nearly as well as they have, but I'll take a whack at it nonetheless because theirs were so fun.


Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Aaaand...GO!

I absolutely loved Operation: Black Dove. I'll be honest... when I first read the summary, I admit I was skeptical. I mean... an All Human fic where Buffy and Spike are CIA agents who 'randomly' meet, work together and fall in love, only for Buffy to find out that he's really a double agent? And then it's all angst and tragedy while she's intent on carrying out her duty, and he truly is completely in love with her. It's one of those fic ideas that I think in the hands of anyone less skilled could have turned out absolutely horrible and corny. But instead, you made it into a great ride. Full of action, incredibly hot sex, and finally the angst. It's definitely one of my all time favorite Spuffy fics. I'm curious.. what was the hardest scene for you to write? And what was your favorite scene?

And I always said I'd never do All Human fic--ever, ever, ever! But what choice did I have when that's the assignment I got for the plot-swap challenge? I had to make the best of it, and I'm so glad to know it ended up working for you!

Of course, I got to keep that one dynamic from the show--Buffy being full of self-loathing at wanting this guy despite him being the enemy and her being sure he'd never change: it was basically S6 in All Human form...and we both know how I feel about S6!

Well, action scenes are hard, but I had some great help figuring it out from my more action-minded betas. But even that paled in comparison to trying to write smut, which is yet another thing I said I'd never do! And I had zero confidence there because of my zero experience, so I'm so thrilled you thought the sex was hot! I was so sure I wouldn't be able to pull it off!
