Illyria fic

indriYou know, I only post about this here because who else am I going to warble to? The SO hasn't seen any Whedonverse TV since "Lies My Parents Told Me". My conversation would go, "Hey, you remember how I said I was going to stop writing fic in January but then I didn't because I didn't want to have the Sparmony Porn Channel in my head and then I thought I'd give it up but I wanted to show support for a convention I'm not going to in Las Vegas and anyway someone else made me think of a good plot for a Giles story? Well, now I'm writing a piece about a blue-haired asexual ex-superdemon with blue hair who looks like Fred but almost isn't. And she used to have four arms."

deborahmm, this is the sort of thing I actually mean when he asks me what I'm thinking about and I say "plotting".
Argh. All I was going to say was that yesterday I looked over the Illyria ficathon list thatdebxena linked to and found my "surprise" ending listed, which was a bit of a bummer. Fortunately, this morning on the walk to work I had a better idea. It's an ending I was going to use for an Oz fic I long ago abandoned (yes, I once half-wrote an Oz fic set in Austin) but I think it will actually work even better here, if I can pull it off.
The story feels all cohesive in my head now. The feeling may not last, but I love these moments when writing.

no subject

I dunno - I should be ready to let go, I know. I'm just not yet. Perhaps if it's made absolutely clear that there's no prospect of a Spike TV movie ever, then I will.
Waiting to hear what JM has to say at the next two cons he's going to (one in Australia and one in California). Maybe someone will ask him a more concrete question on the subject than they have so far? So far, he's seemed pretty definite there was to be such a thing, but no details as to when or how, which makes me doubt.
If the only thing to keep the fandom going is the upcoming BtVS animated series, set in season 1 of the show and aimed at kids, then that won't be enough for me, nor for most fans, I suspect.
