Woooo! I won stuff!

( Shinies! )

Huge thanks to the people at c2c_buffyawards, everyone who nominated and voted, and congrats to the other winners! (Read all the nominated fics here.)

Also, since I wrote this years ago but never actually posted it here and since flake_sake asked, here's the probably only BtVS/Ronja the Robber's Daughter crossover ever. What's Ronja the Robber's Daughter, you ask? Well, it's a book by Astrid Lindgren, the woman who wrote Pippi Longstocking, and also a film directed by one of my favourite writers. If you have no idea what's happening here, that just proves you need to at least watch the movie. But short version: what if the most memorable non-villains of Ronja ended up on Buffy?

Faith vs The Ass-Elves

( Våffå göööör di på dette vise? )

Inspired by gabrielleabelle's post on Buffyverse characters writing fanfic, here's a long overdue installment in the shelf!verse, in which our intrepid heroes find themselves trapped in the world of fiction.

Title: Shelf Life – part 4
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Fandom: Buffy s5-ish/Harry Potter (well, sort of)
Characters: Ensemble
Word Count: ~700
Rating: PG13 (possibly R if you're sensitive to the F word).
Summary: You take one Magic Box, one brand-new shelf of fiction, one spell gone slightly wonky, and suddenly our heroes find themselves fully booked. Geddit? Booked? Well, you will.
Previous parts here.

Book The Fourth: In Which Scotland Is A Silly Place

( I know it's kind of a secret and all, but... you didn't happen to have some of your fanfic in your backpack, didya? )

OK, this is purely for my own sake, so I'm hoping there's at least someone out there who thinks this is a good idea. I don't know if anyone else has ever thought there should be a Buffy/Dostoevsky crossover, or that Faith/Raskolnikov is a logical pairing, but...

Anyway, Chapter 2 of Shelf Life, in which our heroes get sent into Giles' bookshelf, this time finding themselves in 1860s S:t Petersburg. Written for still_grrr's Classic Literature month.

Title: Shelf Life
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Prompt: 153: Crime And Punishment
Fandom: Buffy s5-ish, w/crossovers
Characters: Ensemble
Word Count: 1764
Summary: You take one Magic Box, one brand-new shelf of fiction, one spell gone slightly wonky, and suddenly our heroes find themselves fully booked. Geddit? Booked? Well, you will.

Book The Second: In Which Nobody Gets Murdered

Hey, this is nifty:

And on that note, this month is Classic Literature month at still_grrr, so let's see if I can create a sort of multi-chapter multi-crossover fic type thingy. The first challenge is "Ancient Greece to Renaissance", so let's step back to 1605...

Title: Shelf Life

Fandom: Buffy (s5-ish)/Don Quixote of La Mancha
Characters: Ensemble

Summary: You take one Magic Box, one brand-new shelf of fiction, one spell gone slightly wonky, and suddenly our heroes find themselves fully booked. Geddit? Booked? Well, you will.

Book The First: In Which There Are No Giants

( Unhand me, villain! )

It just occurred to me that I left something off my year in review post: Buffy Between the Lines, the fan audio drama! Over the year, I had one script (written in 2007) produced and broadcast for season 1 and wrote half of another episode for the ongoing season 2.

And since I haven't posted the script for the first ep I wrote here, I might as well. So this is episode 11 of Buffy Between The Lines, the penultimate episode of the season, in all its pre-produced glory. I'm pretty happy with most of it.

If you want to listen to the episode, it's here. And since it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, the season finale is here.

Title: Oldies Night
Author: Beer Good
Rating: PG13
Word Count: Over 9000
Summary: Buffy Between the Lines takes place between seasons 5 and 6, tracking what happened with the Scoobies during the Buffy-less summer - Willow's descent into black magic, everyone dealing with their grief, deciding to raise Buffy, etc. At the same time, they have to deal with a new Big Bad - Javert, a vampire Spike once sired during a very drunken night in Paris, who's decided to rid the world of California once and for all and employed a few Sunnydale lowlives to help him out.

In the last episode, Javert kidnapped Dawn, who's been less than happy with the situation and feeling generally abandoned by everyone and a bit rebellious. Javert's plan for destroying California is nearly ready for execution, and the Scoobies have their hands full...

( The play's the thing )

OK, so remember that I wrote that LotR drabble the other day? Well, then speakr2customrs retaliated by writing this one. And... well...

Title: The Evils of Capitalism
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Fandom: Buffy/Lord of the Rings

The Evils of Capitalism

Giles stared at the contract with Anya's name on it. "I know I left you in charge of business decisions, but this is... insane!"

"'Insane'? It's a perfectly logical business decision. The Magic Box is doing well, and so we're expanding."

"By buying the entire Sunnydale Mall?!"

"OK, it seemed a little extreme at first. But one of our magic jewelry suppliers accidentally sold me this, and I realized that it was my destiny." She held up her hand to show the shining gold ring on her finger.

"Good lord, is that..."

"Yes. The one ring to rule the mall."

Here's a bunch of icons, mostly for still_grrr's female power thingy month. Oh, and for one of them I got this, for which I am - as ever - humble and grateful, both to those who voted and to the indomitable xlivvielockex:
( Banner under the cut )

Anyway, the 100x100s. Swedish dialogue taken from the Selfless shooting script:


As always, free to a good home with credit.

OK, this won't make sense to anyone who's not reading Questionable Content, but... you know that dance that Spuffy shippers did the first time they saw the last scene of OMWF?

Guess what I'm doing right now.



Oh, and I did some icons for lateseasonlove's "Two To Go" challenge.

1. 2. 3. ( 9 more )

Oh, and this week is crossover pairings week at still_grrr. I suppose I'm all out of excuses for not writing that thing I promised spuffyduds...

About time for some holiday fic, don’t you think? This is for snowpuppies, who wanted funny Xander/Anya. I hope this fits. It's pretty light-hearted, but there’ll hopefully be a somewhat more serious one in a few weeks.

Title: On Gurnenthar
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Word Count: ~850
Characters/Pairing: Xander/Anya
Fandom: Buffy, s5 (circa "Into The Woods")
Disclaimer: Joss is on strike. I’m not.
Summary: Who was Gurnenthar, how did he ascend, and what does it have to do with Christmas?

( Gonna find out who's naughty and nice )
Also, here’s a few holiday fics from days gone by:

• Have Yourself A Fluffy Cluffy Buffy Christmas
  
• It’s A Wonderful Unlife
  
• Traditional Christmas Carol
  
• Five Xmas Gifts That May Have Seemed Like Good Ideas At The Time But, As It Turned Out, Really Weren't

Here's another beautiful still_grrr banner, as always with humble thanks to voters and xlivvielockex:
( clicky )

And speaking of still_grrr, I don't rec nearly enough stuff, but ubiquirk's The Wait by the Phone is No One’s Friend is an excellent little piece; Giles between s2 and s3.

On to this week's open_on_sunday drabbles. The prompt is "Rock'n'roll", which of course means Faith backstory and Spinal Tap crossovers.

( Little girl, it's a great big world )
