Once upon a time...

Title:A Christmas Tale.
Author: fenderlove
Rating: PG.
Notes: The following is set in one of the AUs created by Brian Lynch in the ID Angel comics in which Angel managed to rescue Connor from being kidnapped by Holtz but pushed his friends away in the process and his continuing paranoia. Angel turned to Spike as the only person left who he trusts to care for toddler Connor in his absence.
Summary It's Christmas, and it looks like Santa's running a bit late.

This is my first Marvel-related fanfic I've written in a very, very long time. Definitely the first one I've put on Livejournal at least! XD

Hi, all. I thought I would share something that I've been working on for a while-- my Buffyverse fanon timeline. These are basically dates that I use when I'm writing most of my fanfics to keep up with backstory and such. It's quite insane extensive, I think. I'm still working on formatting it, spellchecking it, and making sure that I've got everything accounted for (this has been copied and pasted from like four different Word documents).

What's included: Canon material from both shows, quasi-canon material (from the Tales of the Slayers and Tales of the Vampires comics), random material from various sources like other comics and novels that I enjoyed, and my own fanon creations from my fanfics (and also from writing fanfic with kidcyclone. Believe it or not, I've kept things pretty much the same for Spike's family history since I started writing fanfic back in 2000.

At the moment, this timeline only goes through the end of S3. The details from the show aren't that... well, detailed. I was more interested at those points about getting major events, such as character deaths, and the in-between stuff. Also, be warned that there may be some stuff out of order because I'm still arranging and re-arranging.

To make it easier, for myself and others, I've italicized any fanon stuff. You'll notice that even in some canon entries I've italicized a few things because the details within the canon material were not clear or I felt too much like I was making an assumption.

Enjoy the depths of my madness! :D

Title: Rest Ye Bedlam Vampires
Author: fenderlove
Rating: PG.

Title: The Lyre of Orphans
Author: fenderlove
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Mentions of male/male intimacy.
Summary: Angel and Spike are searching for something, but maybe they're looking in the wrong places.

Title: Ampwish
Author: fenderlove
Rating: PG-13.
Warnings: Mentions of major characters deaths. I'm going somewhat dark with this one.
Summary: At the end of the Spike series, our heroic blonde vampire left Drusilla at the Mosaic Wellness Center in the care of Dr. Thilbault and Malposo in Primm, Nevada. Several months later, Spike has returned with a new patient for the asylum.
Notes: The title for this ficlet was inspired by a misheard lyric in Carbon Leaf's "Life Less Ordinary." Also, I think that writing this has effectively reconciled Season Eight for me. Read on to see why and how and whatever.

I can't believe this is the last one! This has been really fun! :D

30 – Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!

Automated Utopia is my favourite fanfic that I've written. I think it's my favourite because it felt like an accomplishment as the first long!fic I finished, and I really got such positive feedback about it that it encouraged me to continue writing fics.

Also, writing in a steampunk AU was an interesting experience. I enjoyed taking the characters out of the comfort zone I was used to writing them in and putting them in a brand new world. I got to do a lot of fun research into Victorian England and steam technology. It's provided a lot of inspiration for future fics and made me feel more confident in my writing.
