Remember when this LJ had fanfic?

Yeah, me neither.

Life got so hectic that I completely lost Eva's voice for Facing the Heart in Darkness a little bit. (I called it: "Eva's pouting in the corner because she got bumped by my need to pay bills and have a life.")

I tried picking at a few other things (like *cough*Water Hold Me Down*cough*), but really didn't get too far on any front.

I then attempted to barrel through my sorry-I-haven't-finished-your-birthday-present-yet story for nwhepcat/annual holiday tale/slayerversathon commitment story in an effort to write through it. (Got a lot of Behold, Little Padawan! done already, but have an ending that still needs to be capped on.)

Today, Eva started yammering again. Hooray! She wasn't helping me clean up the next part at all, but I at least got her talking about the ending. I'm hoping I'll have something to send up this Friday, but I make no promises.

I'll be over here. Feeling relieved.

I think it might have been the Jake 2.0 marathon on Sci-Fi that shook things loose.

Don't ever change your wanky little heart.

And bashing on the TWoP Buffy boards for failing to recognize the comics as cannon and that JW is the be-all and end-all of genius really isn't helping your case.

Try this on for logic: Most Buffy fans have moved on. Only a very small subset of those who are still around will ever read the comics. If there's ever a filmed follow-up to the Buffyverse and if there's a RL reason to go directly against the comic-canon, you can bet every single comic will be efficiently handwaved by "the master" because most people not only wouldn't care, they wouldn't know comic-canon in the first place.

Don't say you weren't warned.

And the spoiler-y bit JW posted about Andrew and the overwhelming defense of that choice?

Really, is it possible to make me want to read the S8 comics any less than I already do?

Hat-tip to omnie
