Drive-by fic pimping...

What are you telling me to read?
Dead Trouble (last part was just posted tonight here)

Who's the daddy?
Marcus L. Rowland, aka [livejournal.com profile] ffutures

What's it all about?
A damn clever Harry Potter/Buffy the Vampire/Angel crossover

Why do you want me to read this?
Snappy writing, giggle-worthy humor, fantastic characterization, and a misunderstanding of epic proportions

What do I need to know?
Takes place several years after Deathly Hallows, 'Chosen,' and 'Never Fade Away.' Needless to say, spoilers for all of Harry Potter, Buffy, and Angel

What's the genre?
Like I said, a misunderstanding of epic proportions with a dash of humor. Think of it as an "on the road" gen fic. Oh, and it's all told from Harry's point of view.

What's it all about?
Auror Harry Potter is asked to accompany a body to its final resting place in Hogsmeade. The assignment is so simple, they could've sent a squib to do it. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks for the rec. Ummmm, don't you have something you have to do?
Yes, yes. I'm dealing with beta notes for The Last Tin Soldier. I'll be going now.

That was a good crossover...some logical thought went into the differences between the universes. Thanks for the rec.

I've been reading Marcus Rowland for years. It's so great to see him getting recced. He also has dozens of crossovers up at The Crypt (http://home.att.net/~lubakmetyk/crypt.htm#rowland).

I started reading this fic and it is pretty damn fun. I have not read Buffy fic before. Can you rec a good place to start? A rec list? Am a total n00b. (I mean I have seen all the shows. We have all the DVDs. Just totally uninvolved in Buffy fandom.)

I don't read Potter fic but this sounds like tremendous fun.
