It keeps raining...
For some reason... it's been in the 50's the past few days, and rainy. Very strange. Even for here.

But not necessarily a sign of global warming.... sorry.

A Contest...
A bad-fic contest no less... I must have done something wrong because the fics I entered weren't bad enough to get any reviews on ff.net. Kind of scary.

Of course, it could be because I tried to write a fic that was bad without using bad grammar, spelling, or anything like that. just tried to write fics with the following poblems:

  • outlandish non-plot
  • outlandish explanation for the unusual pairing
  • A Willow-spell stereotypically gone wrong
  • character bashing (of the anti-Spike and dusting-Angel sort)
  • annoying narrator insertions to unnecessarily explain plot points
  • totally unnecessary character descriptions
  • unexplained character actions
  • An important part of the story is "lost"

But no-one even seemed to notice them --- except the people who were part of the bad!fic contest in some way. A couple hundred hits and no reviews... though the account I created seems to be on a couple alert lists... strange...

See for yourself:

The Witch in a Box and its pseudo-sequel -- And There Was Great Rejoicing

I could probably fix all of the problems but that would take all of the fun out of them. And they were actually fun to write.
