I'm writing the Angel/Nina essay for ship_manifesto (squee!) and I'm desperately in need of fic for them. Anybody written or seen any? It doesn't have to be the focus of the fic.

So far I've got A Day in the Life of Puppet Angel and a drabble from Buffyverse1000 which I've happily read approx. 10,000 times. anniesj, I know you wrote one for me at tigannie_con but I can't remember which thread and whether it was locked...

*plots meta stuff about Angel/Nina as Giles/Olivia and the potential for darkfic and why the not-even-close-to-soulmates-or-true-love relationships are so damn appealing*

You haven't scared me away, even though you probably wish I would go. *g*

When is your essay on Angel/Nina due? Even though I don't ship that particular couple (witness the icon), I am very interested in your thoughts on the couple.

So.... I take it there won't be any discussion about Angel and Nina being soulmates? *winks*

Heee. It's due on the 23rd (meep, need to get writing, but as least I'm free this weekend).

Ironically, the only fic I've written with major A/N was heavily B/A.

Ooh, where is it? Is it on your site? I don't know if I've read it....

*runs off to look for it*

Self pimping like a ho... (http://www.livejournal.com/users/doyle_sb4/250722.html)

OH HELL YEAH!! Dude, I remember this one - for the buffyverse1000, right??

Oh man, I *loved* this ficlet. It made me like Nina, and I don't like her character. I pimped this thing at my LJ and on my board like nobody's business.

I think my reaction was: THUD! (that was my jaw hitting the floor)

It was just so raw. And the kicker? You established such a powerful tone in very few words. I. loved. it.

Wow, thank you! :) It was the first thing in ages I felt genuinely enthused about writing, so I'm really glad you liked it.
