I had more time on my hands when none of us were going anywhere but now I’m back on-site 70% at work, socializing again, have my volunteer commitments, my activism (who knew that would be such a big part of my 2nd act), and my partner and I seem to be making up for lost time with travel. 🤷🏻

It would make me anxious to have a fic go on that long, too. I get in such MOODS when it comes to writing. How I'm feeling in the spring is not how I'll be feeling in the fall and if my fic is stretching on and on I feel like the story might be affected since the FEEL of the fic is paramount for me.

Happy birthday, madspuffyfan! May your day be joyous and the year ahead full of delights.

I’m always amazed by how prolific some writers (present company included) manage to be. I’ve pretty much resolved to limit myself to works of ten chapters or less from here on out, because long fics will drag on for YEARS and that makes me anxious.

Oh I'm so excited to read the last chapter, Ginger! It's been such a great ride. And I'm with you on that needing all the fic time and real life just not cooperating!

Finally put my 1st SAD-exclusive fic to bed. It will remain exclusive until I get around to posting it anywhere else - anytime from about a week to six months from now due to my unforunate reliance on food and shelter that necessitates gainful employment. If only I could make due with a crypt.

Kent I think because it was in the bracelet that broke that Buffy found.

In the sacrifice one -- where Buffy got roofied by the college guys worshipping the demon -- that was not UCSD and it also mentioned an nearby HS, but I can't remember the names of anything these days, so yeah. Gotta google it I guess

Oxnard is a city located in Santa Barbara County, and that's where Xander got stuck

There's the one Xander stayed at over the summer - Oxnard (which is, I think, a real place?) And I think they talked about one where they could hide from Glory, but I don't remember it.

Were there rival schools when they were in high school and college?

Hmmm...I don't know towns around Sunnydale. There have to be some...though Chosen makes it seem like Sunnydale is in the middle of nowhere. lol

Niamh
trivia question -- does anyone know the names of the towns surrounding Sunnydale?

I'd rather be the one shagging the vampire and I don't think I would mind being a slayer

That's what it was called, I do have problem remembering the name of stories and who wrote it. It's probably the downside of reading as much as I do🙂

Yes!! The Vespertine Stars. smile

sandy_s. Was it the one that was taking place in a future and Katherine (pfeipherpack ) and I was some kind of celebrity vampires?

Magnus, you are a vampire in one of my fics! eyebrow

Magnus374
Well, I can't be a Slayer since I'm a man and I don't really care for being out in the sun much so vampire it is🧛‍♂️

Like Slayme, I'm already old. Powerful seems particularly attractive right now. wink
September 23, 2022 03:22pm

Being the slayer has never looked particularly fun to me. When Anya tells Buffy in S7 that she's just luckier than the rest of them I kind of want to smack her? Buffy's life is so hard. All the time.

Slaymesoftly
Hmmmmm That's actually a hard one, Grief Counseling. I'd like to think I'm good enough to be a slayer, but old and powerful has a lot of appeal. (Already 1/2 way there - LOL)

would you rather be a powerful, decades-old vampire or the slayer with a short life expectancy? vamp stake

Dusty...love that one as well! smile
