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...

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: 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

Takes place after 'The Gift', as everyone tries to keep fighting. But then things start going very wrong... deaths, resurrections, memory loss, angst and alternate realities. Starts off kinda slow, but things really start happening around chapter 6 or so.

My first fic (even if this is a slightly re-written version). I really love much of it, though I think it got away from me a little at some point. I mean, I put just about everything including the kitchen sink in there; VampWillow, alternate realities, deaths, resurrections, dream scenes, magic, Jonathan, robots, VampSlayers, The Eagles... I still think it works, and there are some chapters in here that I'm very proud of, but perhaps I wouldn't have written it the same way now.

Pairing: Willow/Tara, Buffy/Angel (sort of), Xander/Anya
Chapters: 19
Rating: R
