Right, so here's the last chapter.

Title: Development Hell
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Fandom: Buffyverse, post-"Chosen"
Rating: PG13
Word Count: ~3000 (this chapter)
Characters/Pairings: Let's see, there's Buffy, Andrew, Lorne, and a couple of OCs. Angel and Spike show up too. Various other characters as well as canonical pairings will be alluded to, played with, and lovingly frosted with glucose. Also, any similarities to actual Hollywood actors are entirely coincidental, I swear.
Summary: While killing time in Rome, Buffy runs into a new Slayer with a shocking secret. Now, she's going to have to face her past to keep both herself and those around her from a Fate Worse Than Death... Hollywood.

Previously on Development Hell:
Chapter 1, in which Buffy meets and rescues someone claiming to be Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Chapter 2, in which things are explained
Chapter 3, in which groups get all focusy

( Chapter 4 and epilogue, In which acting is all about subterfuge )

Better late than never? Here's my entry for angearia's Who Are You ficathon:

The “Who Are You” Ficathon focuses on the theme of identity through bodyswaps and genderswaps. Often bodyswap and genderswap fics are only used to explore a character’s sexual identity and in doing so, hook them up with another character. This can lead to gratuitous sex scenes. And hey, those are an enjoyable part of fanfiction, but there’s a whole other world of identity that is not explored when stuck in this highly sexualized corner.  The "Who Are You" Ficathon's goal is to explore the greater breadth and scope of identity.

I'm not sure where this came from, but it was an idea that wanted to get written, so...

And while we're on the topic, BSG fans might want to check out rayruz's meta on what might have happened if Samuel Anders had been Samantha Anders.

Anyway, let's get on with it.

Well, the holiday is over, so let's see what some people did for Halloween. I did have an idea for a T:TSCC fic (which would be my first) involving Cameron answering the door and being thoroughly confused by the idea of trick-or-treating, but I decided to stick with what I know for now. Three drabbles and two ficlets on a theme. None of them is exactly of the happy sort, sorry.

Nominated:

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!

Summary: Angel has become a liability to W&H, and so they decide to get rid of Angel and bring in some outside contractors to help get the company back in the red again. 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.

2 days in, and still keepin' up with the drabble challenge at good__evil. Today's character: Fred. Sorta dark.

Title: Better Than That
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: R
Character: Fred
Warning: Character death
Word count: 100

( Better Than That )

Also! The Apocalypse Challenge entries have been posted. They're anonymous, but one of them is mine. A shiny nickle if you can spot it. They're all damn good, though.

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 )

Angel is a great champion of mankind, we know that. But did you notice that in season 5, he was also a LARGE champion of mankind? Well, there's an explanation for everything...

Seriously, Buffy is evil. That whole eating-cookies speech - saying that to someone who hasn't gotten laid in years? Poor Angel sublimates. One of several fics in which I poke fun at the Dark Avenger. He's just so helpless, it's like dangling a sausage just out of reach for a puppy.

Pairing: none. But there's Tetris!
