Ever Wonder?

Okay, I need a bit of a break from writing, so we're doing something different. A lot of writers have been doing these wonderful little "DVD extra" type commentaries. Um, yeah, I know I'm not that interesting when writing about writing, so I figured I'd do it a little different. If you have a question about any of my stories, why I included certain points or how I write, ask here. I'll give an honest answer.

I started with Second Verse after reading a story called "A Bargain at Any Price" where Dracula is Xander's father, and Spike takes sire's rights. I adored the idea of the sire/childe relationship between Xander and Spike. AT the time I had only watched Buffy sporatically (I have since bought the DVD's), but I created a totally AU universe to avoid making a fool out of myself.

I took just the basics (Xander being a trouble magnet and self-sacrificing and Spike being both dangerous and weirdly motherly with Dru) and I worked at creating characters who turned to each other to fill needs they had in themselves.

Should I have admitted that I was more fandom than canon when I started??
