Got this from liz_marcs:

All of you fanficcers out there, I want you to post a link to your most Halloween-ish story. Note, the story doesn't need to be about Halloween, or even take place at Halloween. Just the story that you think best fits the Halloween spirit.

Some ground rules:

1. It must be complete. No WiPs allowed.

2. Do NOT post just a link. Post all header information, such as title, fandom, pairing, trigger warnings, etc. (See below for an example.)

3. All fandoms welcome.

4. All pairings welcome.

5. All genres welcome. For example: If you think the story you've written that best fits the Halloween spirit scares the pants off people, fantastic! If you think the story you've written that best fits the Halloween spirit is a straight-up laugh-fest, fantastic!

Well, since I wrote this for a halloween challenge a few years ago, I can't really in good conscience not post it. Even though it usually gets people to look at me funny.

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).

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? )

First of all, look at these shiny things, from unlocked_awards!



Thanks a whole lot, and congrats to a bunch of other great writers on my flist who also won stuff - make sure to click through the links to the winners here.

In other awards news, I got a few more nominations at the wicked_awards. Dracula Vs Buffy is up for Not Fade Away (best essay and meta) and Stylish, Yet Affordable is up for Heart Of Gold (best drabble). Thanks for those too!

Also, here's the sort of kind of last chapter of my fic of literary self-indulgence, Shelf Life. Kind of sort of in that the challenge only covered literature written before 1960 and there's an epilogue coming that's a crossover with the Thursday Next books, which of course are a lot newer. Anyway, this one's got Spike. And Lilah.

Title: Shelf Life – part 3

Fandom: Buffy s5-ish, w/crossovers

Word Count: ~1675
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 Third: In Which There Is No Justice

( Like a dog. )

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, here's a weird one. This started life as one of the quickest drabbles I ever wrote - I don't think it took me 10 minutes. Now a couple of hours later, here's part 1 of what will hopefully be my first multi-chapter fic of 2007. And it's one of the weirder crossovers I've ever written.

Nominated at the Crossing Over Awards!


Title: Elves, Gremlins and Eskimoes

Now the crew of Angel Investigations will have to turn to someone who knows how to fight this new evil... Someone in a small town by the name of Springfield.

OK, so turns out food comas are really great for getting my muse up and working. Not only do I have FIVE drabbles here - on a theme, even - but there are, hopefully, four more coming up tomorrow. All written for the open_on_sunday challenge Holiday Memories.

Three Four more drabbles for open_on_sunday. I'm becoming seriously addicted to these things. Subject: puppets and muppets.

Title: Welcome To The Slaughterhouse
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Timeline: Alt s5 from "Family"
Rating: NC17 !!!
Length: 20,000 or so in toto (10 chapters)
Summary: Alternate version of "Family", crossover with "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". Tara’s family kidnap her and the scoobies follow, but of course there's things Tara hasn't told them... According to some this is "completely demented" and "morbidly sadistic" but I like it.
Characters: Ensemble, focus on Willow/Tara
Warnings: ***Violence; character death; character dismemberment; cannibalism; homophobia; self-harm; family squabbles***
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the characters here. They belong either to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy, or to whoever owns the TCM characters - if there is any justice in the world I guess that would be Tobe Hooper. If anyone knows for sure, let me know.

If you want to read me cringing and trying to justify all the nastiness in this, there's an annotated version here. You should probably read it unspoiled the first time, though.

Continued here

Features one of the weirdest slash pairings I've ever written, Adam Baldwin playing two roles at the same time, and Spike finally telling Angel how he feels. Lots of fun. Again, let's make fun of the Broody Dark Avenger.

Title: Gonna Make You Bark
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Word Count: ~6500
Fandom: Angel, s5
Characters: AtS gang; Angel/Nina, Angel/?, Spike/Buffy (hinted), Wes/Fred
Disclaimer: Joss owns all characters, Jack London owns the last line.
Summary: PuppetAngel has a problem. Well, duh. OK, let me rephrase that: he has more than one problem. Things go horribly, dreadfully, and adorably wrong after 'Smile Time' when it turns out that werewolf bites are, well, werewolf bites. Silliness level: high.

GONNA MAKE YOU BARK

Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4 - Chapter 5 - Chapter 6 - Epilogue

( Chapter 1: No, Nina! Bad Nina! )
( Chapter 2: Fine Furried Friends )
( Chapter 3: Meet the new boss )
( Chapter 4: Piggyback Mountain )
( Chapter 5: Feelin' Blue )
( Chapter 6: Of Wolf And Man...pire )
( Epilogue: Alley Cats )

Season 2: 'Passion' ends differently: Buffy doesn't get there in time and Giles dies. As Buffy tries to cope with the guilt, other forces idecide to take advantage. Enter a new team of watchers, headed by a certain principal, to guide Buffy THEIR way...

Principal Snyder is one of my favourite recurring characters, so I figure what the hell: kill Giles and let Snyder take over, see where that brings us. Deep angsty stuff. I really think this story has potential. I just need to get it out of writer's block land somehow. I know where it's going, but I just can't seem to get there from here...

Pairing: Willow/Oz, Xander/Cordelia, Spike/Drusilla, Drusilla/Angelus... more to come if I ever get my ass in gear.
Chapters: 13 (WIP)
Rating: PG13, occasionally R
