[Bad username or site: katiedack</a @ livejournal.com] gave me this chart thing, which once you type your name in, can give you a friend/unfriend history, starting from that point forward. It's weirdly addictive. For example, two people de-friended me today, and six more people friended me, three of whom I'm not sure I've ever talked to before. Which is kind of thrilling. Anyway, it's an odd chart-generating device.

::deep breath::

I'm finally adjusting to watching Buffy in the living room, with other people.

::snort:: Actually, it wasn't bad. My mom was waiting patiently for 24, so she just watched BtVS by proxy (or is that by default?--no dictionary hand here...) I ended up explaining a lot of it to her, but fortunately FD was an episode that gave you a lot of exposition more subtly: Gile's righteous ranting about the fight to come named the evil; the was much talk of the chip that was taken out and its former purpose; Xander explaining how hard it must be for the Chinese potential to be uprooted from her home and told she might be a slayer, when all the potential slayers are getting killed; The FE taunting Andrew about his place in the group and killing his friend.... I ended up really only having to explain why everybody was staying at Buffy's house together.

Anyway, during the hall conversation between B&S about her date, mom announced calmy "I like him." I said "Oh, I do too." I tend to usually like prettier guys than she does, but in some cases like Legolas (OB) or JM, we are in full and utter agreement.

God, I have to get home to watch that again; it was so enjoyable.

snippet

I started this fic a few months ago, right around the time Entropy was airing. Got through chapter one, then as I frequently do, I lost interest. Probably because it was all about Dawn, and not really about B/S.

But I want to put up a conversation up here, from what would be chapter 3 or so. Sometimes I do that thing where I'm imagining a conversation between characters, and I write out all the dialogue first, and figure I'll fill in the surrounding character actiosn later. Not the best way to write, I'm sure, but sometimes that's how it goes. Anyway, this is like that. All bare-boned dialogue (because it'd be a dialogue-heavy story anyway).

The idea behind the story this would be part of is exploring Dawn's existence as the Key, with the idea that she was created for more than jsut destroying the universe, and that her power didn't disappear on the tower. The fic was going to be a series of dreams; Whistler begins visiting Dawn in her dreams sometime in late season six, and training her. In some ways to be like him, but in some ways more. She doesn't know who he is at first, or that he knew her sister, but in the dreams she begins to learn about herself and her own identity and power. I think one of the reasons I stopped was because I wasn't sure how to write Whistler.

Anyway, here's a piece:
