Everyone else is doing it...  
... and I'm too mindless not to tag along...

WIPs

Crimson Regret
Immediately post-Chosen.

Xander: Leave me alone! I just want to mope in my room
Faith: Screw that – lets go get drunk
Xander: Will it shut you up?
Faith: Probably not.
Xander & Faith: (out for the count in the burning hotel) See? That’s what happens when you drink Mescal. Drinking’s for losers!
Evil genius: It’s all going according to plan…

What a Difference a Day Makes
About six months post-Chosen I guess, Xander’s in Morocco

Buffy: Crap! Xander’s missing – oh, wait. No he’s not!
Xander: Did I just sleep with Buffy? Yay!
Buffy: Spike’s alive? Huh?
Xander: Crap. Spike’s alive.
Eilidh: (stamps foot) I’m not a Mary Sue!!!
Everyone reading: What the hell happened in those caves?!

Things Don’t Always Turn Out That Way
Immediately post The Zeppo then a weird kind of AU I’m trying to fit into canon. Or will be if I ever write some more of it!

Xander: Hey! I had sex!
Faith: Wonder what having an actual relationship that lasts longer than five minutes is like?
Xander: I had sex!
Shona: Where the hell is this story going?!

For Good Men To Do Nothing
post-Chosen, nothing whatsoever to do with Angel s5 ‘cause I didn’t really buy Lindsey being all inherantly evil the way he was painted.

Xander: I want out. Bye!
Buffy, Willow & Giles: Huh? Okay then. Bye.
Xander: (in Mexico) Crap, guess I really am a demon magnet then.
Lindsey: What am I doing in Mexico? Hey – you know about demons, want to team up?
Xander: Sure, why not?

Destiny
Starts at the time of Bargaining, has parts which are 12 months later. Brave New World.

Xander: Buffy’s dead! Willow’s evil!
Willow: *cackles evilly*
Every single character from BtVS and AtS who’s not dead yet: Okay… this aint quite right.

Slayerless
Post-Graduation Day. Buffy’s been in a bad car crash.

Buffy: …
Giles: Buffy’s in a coma, what are we gonna do?
Dawn: What the hell am I doing here? It’s only just after Graduation – I’m not alive yet! And why are the Bringers after me?
Joyce: Hey – I’m doing evil things, how did that happen?
Oz: Hey, shouldn’t I be around somewhere?

Worlds Collide
post-Hell’s Bells/mid-Jedi Academy trilogy. Yes, I’m writing a SW:EU/BtVS crossover…

Mara: Aw crap – I crashed on some droyk back-water planet and my Headhunter’s at the bottom of the ocean.
Xander: Hang on – that’s not… crap! That’s a lightsaber!
Warren: Who, what, how, why, huh?
Kyp: You’ve no idea what you’ve done little man…

Off Course
post-Chosen. Lost crossover…

Xander: Hey! The plane crashed, I survived! Aw crap, it’s an island and there’s a freaky monster thing out there.
Jack: Aren’t I supposed to be the hero here?

There’s Always Time
post-Chosen, fleshing out an original character I played on End of Days

Xander: I’m cutting myself off from everyone and moping round Africa, hey Zimbabwe sounds like a fun place…
Nhamo: Wonderful, an American tourist who doesn’t understand my country, but hey – he seems to know I’m a Slayer!
Xander: Your name’s not Mary Sue is it?
Nhamo: Nuh-uh.
Xander: Cool, want to help me work through some issues?
Nhamo: (raises eyebrow)

Cry/No Bravery
post-Chosen, probably about a year or so. Willow first person POV that’s scaring me right now. It’s kinda song-fic like but can I say that when it’s two separate songs and I’m not using the lyrics to either? I don’t know, the title will be decided before too much longer…

Willow: Xander changed. Ooops, didn’t see it coming. Boy, I feel bad about that.

Untitled Willow/Xander fic (during Empty Places)
The W/X fic I promised [livejournal.com profile] invisionary  a while back, which was on my laptop and was wiped when I had to rebuild it. Since he’s writing F/X, I can at least make good on my promise to write this!

Xander: Ow. My head hurts – hey, I have a hole where my eye was! Morphine… fun!
Willow: How could I not have seen how much you mean to me?
Xander: Aren’t you gay now?

Sleepless Knight
SW:EU fic, set sometime during Dark Journey. Mara’s bored, her old friends are there to provide distraction.

Mara: Okay – I’m a mom, apparently giving birth cured me of some weird deadly (and otherwise incurable) disease, my student is flirting with the dark side and about to declare herself a goddess. I’m bored.
Talon Karrde: Wanna come on a mission, for old time’s sake?
Mara: Sure, why not. Is clone-me coming?
Shada: I’m a unique character dammit!
Mara: Sure you are…


In the words of Giles: Good lord!

And that's not counting the WIP sites or fanart things I'm also working on... *g*

*giggles*

You could leave it at that *G* - after all - you seem to have summed everything up pretty neatly.

Can I just repeat my beta-offer on the Willow fic though - I have a feeling I could really get into it for some reason *whistles nonchalantly*

I think the people who are following WaDaDM might lynch you if I took that advice - after all, what happened in those caves? And what's Spike got to do with anything? And who exactly is Eilidh?

*eg*

Thnaks for the offer of the beta - will be taking you up on it once I've got it finihsed!

I am loving these meme WIPs. And what did happen in those caves? While I'm not a big fan of Lindsey (I'm not a big anything of Lindsey really. He's there. I accept him as possibly human -not that, being something other then human is bad... ranting) him and Xander teaming up and kicking ass sounds like a blast!

That was really fun to try to sum up all my WIPs in five lines or less there - also, quite scary that I have so many! (And I didn't even include the plot bunnies - the only things I listed were stories I already have a good start on.

Lindsey I think was a severely under used character, his departure in season two was a gift to fic writers to be honest - so many questions left unanswered about him. And then when they brought him back in season five I was disappointed because it seemed there had been no character growth in all the time he'd been away from the show. Okay, maybe he did make the decision to 'go to the dark side' again, but it would have been nice to see the reasoning behind that.

The idea of a disillusioned Xander and a slightly lost Lindsey wouldn't leave me be so I started plotting it out. It's the one story of mine I really wish I could get back into, the others I give quick passes over on a more or less monthly basis, but that one I've not even looked at for far too long now!

Hey, to some people three paragraphs is a full length fic! *g*

And I know exactly what you mean about clearing out the other stories, I keep making this valiant effort to do just that but then something else catches my attention and it never quite happens...

I had a lot of fun writing these little summaries!
