My Ficathons info has been updated with links to the Remix Redux and Rescue Romance challenges. ETA: and the Xander appreciation day.

Hmm, my Devon and Normal Again challenges leave me with an awful lot of scope. To me, this means they might as well come with big sparkly signs saying "come on, let's throw in some really obscure minor characters! Everybody loves Holden/Cassie/Harry/Files and Records as much as you do!"

There are just so many requests at the Xanderslashficathon that I want to write.

Bwah!

I love Drew Goddard.

"Angel broods, Fred says some run-on sentences, Gunn mixes street lingo with lawyer-speak, Wes kills somebody, Spike says something that causes half the fans to write letters to the office telling us how much they hate Fury, and Lorne mentions some B-level celebrity. It practically writes itself."

DVD releases

Ooh, Angel season 4 is out on region 2 DVD on March 1st, and Buffy season 7 on April 5th (that's where £120 of my student loan's going, then). No word on special features yet.

The 4 Slayer collection discs (4 episodes each centred around Spike, Willow, Angel and Faith) and The Best of Buffy are also out on March 1st. Some of the episode choices are a bit odd. The discs are:

The Best of Buffy

Becoming Part 1
Graduation Day Part 2
Hush
The Gift

The Slayer Collection: Willow

Phases
Doppelgangland
Wild at Heart
New Moon Rising

The Slayer Collection: Spike

School Hard
Lie to Me (me: uh? I don't recall this one as being Spike-centric. Would have gone for Crush myself.)
Lover's Walk
Fool for Love

The Slayer Collection: Angel

Angel
Innocence
I Only Have Eyes for You
Amends

The Slayer Collection: Faith

Bad Girls
Consequences
Graduation Day Part 1
Who Are You?

Unexpectedly, the scratch remover stuff I bought actually worked, and my season 5 DVD (No Place Like Home, Family, Fool for Love, whatever the other episode is) has been restored to its former glory.

So I watched No Place Like Home and FFL.

NPLH: The spell, with Dawn fading in and out, is a terrific scene. I *love* the bedroom flickering between Dawn's room and the dark storeroom. And I'd forgotten about the misdirection in trying to make Dawn look evil. Plus - Spike! Spike's third-grade approach to interpersonal relations! "And I never liked you anyway and you have stupid hair." God, I love Spike when he's being immature (if anyone couldn't guess)

FFL: Now I Dead From Lust. What with the disc being out of commission I'd forgotten how much the subway scene rocks. Plus Nikki has cool pants. I never noticed that before. And now I think I need to read some really dark and twisted Buffy/Spike.

On a DVDs note - looking forward to getting the Angel season 4 DVDs. It's probably quite wrong that Angel's "Daddy hasn't finished talking" in Deep Down gets my vote as the hottest line ever uttered on either show...

This must be encouraged.

Fred/Harmony: Office Talk

I finally got my Intoxication challenge done. Phew.

Warning: this is so fluffy it looks like I've killed some kitties and turned them into femslash.

Title: Office Talk
Author: Doyle
Pairing: Fred/Harmony
Rating: PG
Distribution: Anywhere, just let me know.
Summary: Fred and Harmony have a girlie night, with a movie and gossip and... stuff.
Notes: For the Intoxication challenge. Had to include someone being intoxicated, the words 'blood' and 'wine' and the quote "a lie can be halfway around the world before the truth has got its boots on".

Gratuitous bitchy post

To my mother:

No, for the millionth and (I wish) last time, my weight does not bother me. It bothers you. These two things are vastly different.

Grr.

ETA: And anyway, I'm Festively Plump.
