Flist Celebration -- 400 edition!

[lit_gal]

**boggles**

Okay, we're at 400 here folks. Wow. I never would have guess. So, I'm opening another flist celebration. For those of you who are new, that means you can ask for bits and bobbles from older stories. This time, I'm going to ask you to write a specific question in the hopes that the muse will be curious enough to write a ficlet, drabble or scene for the universe. Now, I will say that the muse has been picky lately and it's harder and harder for me to focus her, so I can't promise anything, but I will do my best.

Open Universes that you can ask for by asking a question or asking for a particular point of view or moment in time.

Buffy	Sentinel
Mangled Spells Irony Trickster Your Bloody Fault Toys Learning Curve	Recovery Epic Shadows of the Past Learning Curve Finding Home The Witness

Closed Universes. Sorry, but these stories are so "finished" in my head that I don't think I can write more on them.

Buffy	Sentinel
Beautiful Broken/Broken Revenge Second Verse	Guidelines

I'm not going to cut this off at a certain number, but please don't take offense if your questions doesn't tickle the muse because she is a fickle, fickle muse.

400! Congratulations! :)

If it tickles your fancy, I'd love to see a bit from one of the girls' POV about their thoughts of the S/X relationship and Xander's somewhat flexible gender.

If that doesn't spark anything, I'd also love to read anything more in the Your Bloody Fault verse...

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Mangled Spells? I can do that.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

I'd like Toys, which I really love. Exhibition and reward. I have no idea what those prompts will mean, but see if they jig something loose. ^_^

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I'm too tired to do a full-on kink piece tonight, but I think I can do something for that tomorrow.

[twit-trisana.livejournal.com]

Heh. I finally get around to friending you not even ten minutes ago...

In Trickster, will you expand to include more of Xander's vampire past? Since the last one was sometime in season four, the you could fast forward to season five with the Dracula bit, which I've been curious as to how Xander would deal with that. Would he keep his promise to Nusa and stay away from Dracula? Or did the promise become void after Nusa's death? How did Xan Nusa die, if he truly existed in the first place? Was the vampire literally removed from the timeline at a certain point, and ceased to exist for a period of time until Xander showed up? Or is he still alive somewhere? Is his dust somewhere, where it could be used in some spell meant to summon him, but goes wrong in some funky way because of Xander's humanity?

Spike I honestly can't think of much to do to, because at this point he is completely devoted to Xander. Maybe Dru comes back with prophecies and such? Of course, if you're going through the fifth season, there's everything going on with Dawn too, and he isn't devoted to Buffy. Hmmm. Dawn follows Xander home, and knows about the room? Dawn, should she come into being, I feel would definitely rebel and attach herself to Spike and Xander like she did in the series, except this time, Spike and Xander would be like a single Unit of Big Brother protection to her. I imagine this might bring about a similar relation to Joyce as the one in Canon, no matter how uncomfortable Buffy is with the arrangment.

Angel. I want to see Angel in some situation where he has to ask Xander for help. What could possibly make him do such a thing?

I apologize for the length, I got a little carried away.

[twit-trisana.livejournal.com]

This isn't really a request, just my own musings that I thought you might use, since I won't.

[vichan.livejournal.com]

Outside perspective from the Scoobies on Spike and Xander in 'Irony.'

*licks*

[pixel2817.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the 400 *wow*
You had spike make a comment in learning curve about how angel would be all upst that spike had himself a shaman ~ so i'd love to see spike taking xander to la to show him off. Or really antyhing else at all in that verse

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

And your request is up!

Congratulations!

Hmmm.

Ah! Trickster: What's Drusilla's take on Spike's new sire?

Flist Celebration -- 400 edition

Congratulations on hitting the 400 mark! It's been wonderful to observe your notoriety reputation grow.

I bet you can guess what I'm going to ask for, right? Three guesses and the first two don't count. You've written some wonderful Recovery Epic "extras" for me in the past; can I get you to do it again? Here are the questions I came up with (I hope at least one tickles your muse's fancy):

Did anyone in Phoenix outside of the PD ever find out why Blair left Cascade and, if so, what did they do about it?

What are the observations of Cascade PD people (Megan, Henri, Vera, Serena, the donut girl) about the post-Phoenix Jim and/or Blair?

How did the Cascade media, politicians, and/or Police Commissioner react to/"spin" Jim and Blair's return from Phoenix?

Re: Flist Celebration -- 400 edition

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm posting your bit now! I answered the "How did the Cascade media, politicians, and/or Police Commissioner react to/"spin" Jim and Blair's return from Phoenix?" question

[joannindiw.livejournal.com]

Mangled spells - Tara's POV, please.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Tara just refused to let me in her head, but I did get Tara in there for you. Hopefully you get a pretty good idea of what she thinks of the boys.

Congrats on being popular!

Tickster 'verse - Ripper's take on S/X

[silveramericana.livejournal.com]

Grats on 400!

My first vote is for Deadboy and Zeppo, but that is not on your list :(

oh well, I love just about everything else too, so I would love Dracula coming to town in Trickster, or maybe a look at a "normal" merged Primal from Irony? That would be a heck of a fight! and I have always wondered what Riley and the Initiative would make of a gender-bending Xan in Mangled Spells. And I wonder if we will see a more detailed reaction to S/X in Learning Curve from the Scoobies? Like coming off the plane and telling them they are together?

Bah! I only meant to mention one! Well, if any of that looks interesting, I would adore seeing it. :)

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

It isn't all of what you wanted, but I did get you part of your request in the latest bit from Mangled Spells

http://lit-gal.livejournal.com/134718.html#cutid1

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

Congrats!!!

I would adore finding out Jim's thoughts at any point during Learning Curve

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Whoo-hoo! 400! Damn, that's a lot of people. I was going to ask for something in the Trickster!verse, but several people have already asked kick ass questions, like dealing with Drac or Dru, so I'll just point upwards.

*points upwards*

[garettgal.livejournal.com]

Congrats on reaching 400. No requests from me other than a wish that you keep on writing in the TS universe. :D

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

You know I'm never going to give up my pretty, pretty boys!

[desdomonda.livejournal.com]

I honestly can't think of anything, but will kick myself in a week when something comes to me! I'd really love a spander cuddling scene, but can't think of a 'verse here that it would fit for. Oh well, I just wanted to say congratulations! And I feel all special, being a new friend, that I helped you get to this big milestone.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Spander cuddling... I'll keep that in mind, so hopefully something will pop up that allows some cuddle time.

[aluminion.livejournal.com]

400? Wow! Congratulations, you totally deserve it!

I was wondering about Irony and that final fight for dominance. Did you ever think this story would go the other way? That Spike would win? I half to admit to being so torn. I truly couldn't decide who I wanted to win! And I do love that moment of complete surrender (in all of your fiction). You write it so well. It's absolutely delicious!


And I LOVE Caught in the Act. :)

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I really wanted Spike to submit for a couple reasons. When Xander had the hyena, he was ALL alpha boy, and I don't think the hyena would have been particularly happy being beta in the relationship (versus all-human Xander who is all to ready to submit). Spike, on the other hand, has lot of experience being beta and has always been fine with being second string to Angelus or Dru. On the other hand, when he takes the upper hand (Harmony), he doesn't do quite so well. But, everyone Spike has subbed for has hurt him, left him, treated him like poopy. So, I really wanted him to fight for dominance because he doesn't trust, and I wanted his submission to including discovering that Xander wouldn't do that to him.

[luna-61.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!! I wish I had something that I really wanted to know about, lol. Maybe something from Shadows of the Past? Blair's thoughts on their kidnapping and release? I'll just sit back and enjoy whatever the muse comes up with because it is sure to be great! Thank you.

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Mangled Spells. Girl!Xander having a girly night with Buffy and Willow. Faith is also there and is still teasing Xander about being a girl, Xander gets annoyed by that.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm getting ready to post your bit. I don't think it turned out as fluffy as you wanted, but the muse goes where she will

[patty1h.livejournal.com]

First, congrats!

I love "Shadows of the Past" and my question would be how did Jim and Michael hook up in the first place? I would guess some Black Ops mission, but I'd love to see a snippet of how their first face to face meeting went. Did Jim sense that Michael was "dark" as soon as they met?

[ficlover-sp.livejournal.com]

Wow that's a lot of people. To be honest it never occured to me to friend you. I don't actually use this journal excerpt to stop myself from leaving anonymous comments on people's journals. Now my friends pagw is quite literally just your journal entries on my crappy background. I'd rather just look at your journal :P

Hmmmm I can't think of anything in particular I want to know right now, but some of these questions were great. I'd love to see some more of the trickster stuff that people have asked for. And more Toys is always good.
Perhaps I'll go and re read some of those. See if there's anything I want tp know

[texanfan.livejournal.com]

Just want to tell you congratulations and add my vote to any of the Trickster 'verse prompts. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_suziq_/]

Congrats sweetie...that's wonderful.

For me, anything TS is perfect but you know my heart adores the Recovery Epic. I'd love anything in the series. :-)

[shakatany.livejournal.com]

No prompts (the one I'd like is in the BB'verse but you know that) but I would like to add my congratulations on your 400. How long has it been since you reached 300? I think it can't go beyond 700 (read that somewhere but I may have misunderstood) but eventually you may get there. Your writing talent draws us all in *g*

Shakatany

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

And I'm so sorry I just can't seem to write that one. I had a few requests for BB last time, and I couldn't get out one word that didn't suck majorly, and I so don't want to do sucky stuff in that universe.

[stretfordditto.livejournal.com]

Congrats on reaching 700. My fave is Trickster also. :D

[stasha2g]

Congratulations. :)

I was wondering where exactly "Learning Curve" fits in the TS timeline, or where and how it's AU? The BTVS side of it's sort of AU-ish post-Chosen 'verse, right?

Also seconding sunnyd_lite on the Jim POV.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Learning curve takes place some time in Season Three (an alternate Season 3 of course), so the death and dissertation mess hasn't happened.

[delectiscent.livejournal.com]

I know I'm super late with this but I really love the Toys Universe and I would like to see how that Xander would react if some random reason Spike wanted to reverse rolls. That' Spikes always taking any and every opportunity (even ones he doesn't create) to show Xander he's still in charge. How would a role reversal accomplish that? Hmmm.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Okay, that's a hard one. You may need to wait a little on that since other event in that story make it unlike that Spike would do that too soon, but I will keep this in mind.
