My latte sister, the distressingly multi-talented Kalima, has started to write up the Buffy fiction we outlined back in the summer of 2002. It's a WIP, which I don't normally rec, but on the other hand it's lovely and funny and she's taken the snippet I wrote and turned it into something with much more depth and wit. So go read Time Travel for Pedestrians and give her warm fluffy strokes of feedback.

At one point this was called Hot Kinky Vamp Action despite the fact it was a proposal we were working on for 'proper' publication. On account of us being 'proper' writers by day. Well, by night on account of writing not paying enough to buy pins and us therefore having the equivilent of DMP day jobs to pay the actual bills. Maybe that's why we both love season 6? We can relate to Buffy's realisation that her calling is never going to get her a bank loan but she just can't give it up. Plus, obviously, all that hot sex with Spike. HKVA did not have any actual HKVA due to the restrictions of the Buffy books' range. When we discussed reviving the project as fanfic, the first thing to be brought back was the sex. My calling means my nights are being spent patrolling the graveyards of prose, slaying bad grammar and trying to avert the apocalypse (i.e. get a novel in by the deadline) so Kelly is writing this herself. Please read - it's going to be a beauty.
