A few fic recs - I've only just had a chance to catch up.

Eggs, Vegetable Oil, Water by twinkledru
(LJ or silverlake links)
A lovely post-Chosen vignette of Buffy. Buffy considers her future. Also, there's cake.

Feline Repose by Venus Blue
What does an unemployed librarian do with his time?
If, like me, you prefer reading html pages to php, it's also available on silverlake.

Contrite Spirits by Lizbeth Marks
"Faith and Xander are waiting for a newly discovered Slayer at the Basilica Ste-Anne-de-Beaupre and find answers to questions they were afraid to ask."
a good Faith and Xander fic (note, not Faith/Xander). I love this Faith - it's a side we never see in the show but, when it's shown here it seems so, well, plausible.

fic rec: Forty (Tongue) Lashings and a Bit of Parley by tigerlady. Smutty fun with Captain Jack Sparrow and Anyanka. Amusingly enough, it also fits with canon for both Pirates of the Carribbean and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like canon matters in any way at all when someone is writing mild smut involving Cap'n Jack.

Ghost of the Robot split up. Well, I don't know about you, but I'm shocked. Shocked and stunned. Very stunned.*

Not really. Having seen them live, I can imagine trying to be a real rock band (rather like wanting to be a real boy) is quite hard when the majority of your audience insists on standing as woodenly as Boreanez and staring reverently at the lead singer. Their bassist was pretty damn good, mind.




*it's a Rutles thing.

Ask Bob! For Bob Knows the Secret Truths!

Just to point out that Bob's asnwers to my Angel season 5 questions were not entirely inaccurate, given the Butch and Sundance ending our boys got: see Bob's answers.

So a comparative test suggests that both the Magic 8-ball of 2003 and Bob are good tools for providing a spoiler-free hint of the future of your favourite tv series...

article rec: ak13 :: Dead ethics on how Angel forged a new morality on tv.

Behind the self-conscious mockery and bad special effects was one of the darkest and most adult drama series of the last five years, containing serious messages about redemption and 'doing the right thing'.

it's a wee little puppet man!

fic rec: Mortal Wounds by Treacle-A. Another WIP.

I'm so bad. I have no time for WIPs. Not in a judgemental sense, but in the sense that my life is already too crowded to invest hopes and expectations into WIPs. I should wait, save up the fic for when I am free to read it and it'll be all beautifully concluded. But, well, look at the promising Spuffy scenes! Go Spuffy!
