The Greatest Meme Ever

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!

Ah, yes. The idea of rewriting "School Hard" as a screwball comedy came to me while I was watching His Girl Friday for the fiftieth time (Angel is so a Ralph Bellamy type), and it was either my greatest idea ever...or my craziest. Taking the typical Spuffy snark and elevating it to the level of classic comedy wit was a real challenge, but I think I managed to pull it off.

Although I might have had even more fun with the sequel, since I got to go all The Thin Man with Season 3 and have Buffy and Spike in an established relationship solving a mystery. Faith was born to be a femme fatale, and Mr. Trick and the Mayor? Too much fun to write all screwball-noir. Plus: the dog!
