Holy cow!

I didn't realize that I never transfered this particular fic to LJ. This is another one that was put up on the Pit of Voles a few months before Buffy went off the air.

( A Little Intro for Into the Desert )

For some reason, don't ask me why, but the original title for this story was The Intramural Street Hockey League and Goomba Society.

Don't ask me. I have no clue what it means, either.

I'm sure it made sense at the time.

Because of the story's thorough Jossing, at some point I changed the description from "spec" to AU, complete with a one-sentence description on why the world of Into the Desert was different from canon.
