I give up. I've been stubbornly resisting a couple of plot bunnies for weeks now, but in the process I've apparently finally ended up blocking myself on all the other stories that I'm supposed to be working on. The only thing I've actually managed to get done was "A Night of Male Bonding" (J/B, AU, Simon POV), a little TS ficlet for [livejournal.com profile] sentinel_thurs (forgot to post a link here when I posted to the community a few days ago - doh!).

As for the annoyingly persistent plot bunnies and my stubborn refusal to do anything with them - there's a reason. A big reason.

Namely, they're neither TS nor GW. :P Like I really needed plot bunnies for another fandom. Particularly, plot bunnies with fangs. Sharp, pointy ones. It's all her fault. *points at [livejournal.com profile] lit_gal and sulks*

Darn it - why the heck have I managed to get away with reading J/D SG-1 fics - a lot of them - on an ongoing basis without so much as a plot bunny nibble, yet I read a few S/X stories thanks to one darn TS/BTVS crossover tweaking my S/X interest, and end up reading my way through far too many rec lists and getting a severe case of attack-of-the-vamp-plot-bunnies?!?! (Mind you, if BTVS had been nearly as good as some of the stories I've read, I might have kept watching it after the first few seasons...)

So - since I refuse to spend huge amounts of time researching canon and labouring over characterization, just for the sake of a couple of very toothy bunnies, I'm going to scribble the darn things down, then most likely deep-six them in the darkest depths of my hard drive, never to see the light of day. Hopefully, that will free the muse back up for working on the things that I should be working on. *crosses fingers and eyes current WordPerfect document*

*sighs* Err, just out of curiosity... Does anyone actually want to see these S/X (aka Spander *winces at cutesy term*) fics, assuming that they actually end up in a semi-readable state? *pokes fic gingerly*

~waves hand and jumps up and down~

ME!ME!ME!!

And I'll vouch for you at [livejournal.com profile] bloodclaim and then squee and jump up and down some more and read it! Cause I can see you doing S/X so damn well!!

WHEEEEE!!

Umm, sorry for the excessive fangirling. I was just going to bed when I saw that and got excited.

OMG PLEASE write S/X! *slavers at your feet* It's my guilty pleasure, I love it sooo much.
Please tell me you've read "Waiting Here" by Alexandria. Or "My Scorpion" by FireHorse? If you haven't I'd love to send them to you. Hell, I'll send you the whole folder of them! ^___^ It's only about 6.4MB.
*squees and wriggles in joy* Gah, I keep thinking of stories you need to read! XDXDXD I would *adore* seeing your spin on them. (I've never heard of it refered to as Spander before...*shudders* That's a little strange.)
*glomps you*

*raises a hand*

If it helps, I blame [livejournal.com profile] lit_gal for me reading S/X as well...

please send them here...
I've also been addicted to S/X by litgal (and his TS/BtVS xover)...

*stares at all the pretty letters* Ok... I'm being less than bright this morning, I guess, but I have no idea what you're talking about. O.o

^_^ It' means Spike/Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You wouldn't think it would work, but *oh* it does. *snugs*

Ah! BTVS! *smacks forehead* I just kept seeing the TV in the middle and got stuck trying to turn it into British Television something or other...
*grin* I'm sooooo bad with those...

Huggles, glomp and fangirly squeeeeeeeeeeee... a definent yes, I'll read S/X and *coughs* I am assuming that there is a SG1 bunnie there too. Yes, I am a pig and want to read it all.

Yes please

I know the feeling. I keep being drawn back to S/X even though I've only seen a couple of the first season shows. I know them mainly from fanfic and for some reason they are about the most compelling to me personally.

Cold medicine and clarity do not go together. What I meant is please write and post.

Take care,
Cal

If you don't post them I'll cross my arms and pout. *pouts ferociously*. See? Or I'll make chibi eyes and wibble.

I really did try to resist writing for another fandom (I've got far too many WIPs as it is), but my muse unfortunately gets sulky when I refuse to write what's being offered. :P I can either give myself a really ugly case of writer's block, or I can give in and write some S/X. *rolls eyes* Tough choice. I just don't know how well I'm going to write S/X; Spike-snark and Xander-babble aren't the easiest things in the world to write, and it's been a long time since I last watched BTVS (I seriously started to lose interest along about when the Buffy-bot showed up, though I still caught the occasional episode).

I've read and enjoyed both of those stories - and quite a few others, actually. And I've got quite a long "to-read" list still waiting, too. I'm trying to stick to completed fics (with the required happily-ever-after for the boys, of course!)

I've never heard of it refered to as Spander before...*shudders* That's a little strange.

Oh yes. Then, of course, there's apparently Xangel, and Spangel, and Spuffy, and... I'm sure you can see the pattern emerging here. *shudders* "A little strange" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'll even ask my beta to look at it for you if you'd like. [livejournal.com profile] kitty_poker1 is THE best betas in the Buffy fandom there is hands down. And I'm not just saying this because she's one of my best friends either. She has awards for her beta work, and knows more about Buffydom that I do.

Here (http://www.buffy-vs-angel.com/guide.shtml) is the site I use for transcripts and if you have any questions you can ask at [livejournal.com profile] bloodclaim, [livejournal.com profile] darkhavens is the mod and she's super nice and she won't mind. Or ask me and if I don't know my flist probably will since most of my flist are S/X lovers.

Whee! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

You too, huh? "Learning Curve" tweaked my interest. I started with everything on [livejournal.com profile] lit_gal's own site (including "Beautiful Broken" and "Broken Revenge", both of which are way, way darker than my usual fare, but oh, so very good), then continued on to the rec page.

As for the S/X fics... the darn vamp plot bunnies just keep multiplying... Where's a super soaker loaded with holy water when you need one? *sigh*

On the other hand, now that I'm not fighting the darn S/X vamp-bunnies, the GW ones are starting to cooperate again, thank goodness...

Well, since the consensus seems to be that people do want to read these, they will get posted. Whenever they actually get to the point of being post-worthy, that is. Just a couple of pages of each so far, so it may be a while.

Yep, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Much to my shock and dismay. *sigh* As if I didn't have enough WIPs already. :P

However, now that I'm not spending all my energy resisting the S/X vamp plot bunnies, the muse is apparently willing to share a little inspiration with the GW fics again. Whew!

Nope, no SG-1 bunny, oddly enough. That's what's so strange - I've been reading and enjoying J/D SG-1 for over a year, and... *shrug* nothing. Not a nibble. Even when I wouldn't have minded one. Yet just a few weeks of S/X fics and I've got more S/X plot bunnies than I know what to do with.

Weird.

I'm definitely writing, and posting will follow. Eventually - whenever I get one of them actually done.

Oh no! The dreaded pout! Ack, and chibi eyes, complete with wibbling! *snicker*

Okay, I'll post as soon as I get something far enough along to do so.

I'd so love to read your S/X *giggles* It would be most interesting!

Yeah, weird, SG1 bunnies nibble off and on *glowers at the bunnies ignoring MOrgan*. But never a S/X bunnie nibble or A/X or A/S/X...but I love reading them. Looking forwards to reading to yours
