I've decided I *have* to do a Spike fic titled "The Man Who Sold The World". That's--if you didn't know-- a David Bowie song. I've fallen in mad crazy love with the Nirvana "unpluggged" cover of it. I downloaded the original, and it's no comparison.

I've been thinking about it, and that's a *totally* sick as title for a Spike-fic. I keep thinking that there must be some way to tie it into his getting a soul, but my brain's having trouble with it because, if anything, Spike BOUGHT his world when he go his soul. But there must be some way, and i intend to find it. Maybe it could be the third story in my horror trilogy. I already have the second (first, really, but written 2nd) one mapped out, and its got a lyrics title too-- "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me."

Maybe I'll be able to come up with something good after I see Buffy tonight. Which I am STILL unspoiled for!!! Yay. I am getting excited though... people seem to be so pumped up about it.

Well, in a way, he did sell the world. He sold his old "world" for his soul. He got rid of everything he once was and all that he knew, to take on something that so far has given him nothing but pain. At least that's one way I can see it being worked to fit.

I don't like the original version of that song on the - uh. Whatever CD it was originally on, but there's another, later version of the song, by David Bowie, where his voice isn't quite that high, and that just rocks.
