Okay...so BHNM is almost over, and I'm in need of a Spuffy fic to work on. I'm working on White Magic, my Spara fic, but I need to come up with something else as well, something I can post here and the various other Spuffy sites I post...

What I'm asking is, does anyone have any idea that might be my sort of thing (dark, huge angst for spike, lots of drama and trauma and intrigue) that maybe you just don't have time to write, or don't want to write?

I'm begging for your ideas, people! :) Help me come up with something to be my next Spuffy fic!!

*hugs*

DoS

If you want, we could do a tag team on that thing you're looking over for me?  Other than that, an angsty idea I want to stay away from, hmm... I dunno, but if I think of something, I'll send it to you :D

well, i think on the one i'm checking for you right now, i'd really rather let you write it and do the betaing like we originally planned...though if you get stuck in places I wouldn't mind doing part of it...we could do like a joint account or something :)

i've been talking to you, and one other person, about joint fics that i may be writing *part* of in the near future...but what i'm really looking for with this forum is just an idea....an idea i can sort of take and run with on my own....as my next fic of my own, yeah?

thanx though for the suggestion, and for coming up with the idea you did, because i think that's going to be an awesome fic, too :)

*hugs*

DoS

Oo oo, do you do vamp buffy fics? *looks all with the big cute eyes*

i could do that, if vamp-buffy was evil... :P

Well how else would you get your angst :P But how are you going to get your usual Spike abuse in?

um....hmmm...make buffy *really* evil?

no...lol...um...bring angelus into it? or not...there are really tons of possibilities, leave it to my sick, twisted imagination, love :)

put me in the fic and i can beat on him *giggles evilly*

see...not even *i'm* cruel enough to subject him to your twisted mind :P

Ooo, see hear me out. Buffy gets vamped after coming back in S6. She just gives up and a demon gets his or her one good day. Of course Spike is all heart broken 'cause she is now one of the evil undead. Badness happenes to Spike at Buffy's hands, but then he grows some balls and beats the crap out of her. And you can go from there. lol. I would love to see Spike give up the road to redeption and turn all evil again minus the chip.

you got the wrong person *directs GoldenBuffy to Zoe for dom Spike*

and c'mon, DoS, I promise to behave *bats eyes*

no, GB...that could be good... :)

like Spike could be struggling with the ambiguity that's developed in his own personality and all since he's had the chip, and buffy could be drawing him back toward his old evil self...

it wouldn't be so much either one of them dominating the other -- not for long at a time, anyway -- but it could be kind of a consistent power struggle, you know? back and forth, give and take, and finally coming together in a more balanced relationship....

awwww, GB, now she won't let me be in the fic

lol...vamp buffy and spike could drain you...you could be one of their many victims....??? ;)

Evil vamp Buffy and Spike?  Surely they'd chain her up for a bit, keep her around, biting occasionally as she longs for death, and just when she thinks one of them will drain her- Spike swaggers in and snaps her neck cause he's all bored and stuff.  Just saying...

only if they rape me first :P

.....and that has got to be the weirdest statement ever......

Oh right, like Spike would really rape you (or me).  Can't really rape the willing...  But honestly, that was more of Angelus' deal, though I don't know how an evil (not soulless, but just evil, cause the soul don't matter folks) vamp Buffy would react...

technically (see some of zoe's recent writings) if you want to be raped...it's not rape...and therefore an impossible situation...so....translation....

you need to seek professional help :P

I can pretend to resist. It's your story, dur

Sorry Marie, but you still can be in it. Maybe their first meal together after Spike gets the chip out.

Do you two know you have me in tears, ROFL. And I agree it wouldn't be rape, lol. I'd glady have that and be his meal too. Maybe beg for him to turn me as well, lol.

See DoS, I hope you can write this now, lol. I would love to see how the dynamics play out and who would come out on top each time, then in the end see how they come to an understanding. And I know you'd write an evil soulless or maybe not so soulless as others think turned slayer.

Fine, I want to be a slayer >.< Or another vampire.... and then you will all ph33r me!

i'm most likely gonna do it, love :) i haven't heard a better idea yet :P

*snoopy dance* Ok, I'm gonna scream with joy, oh joy. I'm such a nerd. lol.

lol...yeah, i've actually got two fics, counting this one, lined up to begin once BHNM is done...i'll probably wait until i've got a few chapters of each to start posting though...

of course, i've said that before starting the last two fics i've written...didn't happen :P lol

lol, I know what you mean. I've started two fics as well, trying to stack up on some chappies before I post them though. It's my stab at dark, lol. We'll see.

Does Spike have to suffer much? It tears my heart out to see that....he doesn't have to be DomSpike, of course, but I'd like to not have him be tortured. Mental angst is fine, but leave that beautiful body alone, woman! :P

Anybody ever dreamed about being turned? That was the weirdest thing ever.....

Never dreamed that myself, but with Spike, I'd say it's possible.

and DoS, WIPs always sucks huge balls, but sometimes, it just can't be helped ;)

It's not like we can just blink a fic into existence......:(

yes, i have had dreams of being turned. either angelus does it or spike, lol.

I know I'm not a frequent visitor here but I've read the whole thread, where you were talking about writing a fic with hurting Spike... much :) There's this idea I can't rid of and I'm pretty sure I won't write it myself, 'cos I'm working on something else right now... Okay, back to the topic.

I've been thinking about a post NFA fic. Somehow (don't ask me how) the battle against W&H was won but the war continues. Scoobies come to LA just to find those from the AI team who survived the fight completely broken. Angel doesn't know what to do with Connor and their old issues are back. Gunn blames himself for Fred's and Wes' death. Illyria suffers from the lack of followers and Spike... Here we get to the real pain and angst :) His head was badly injured during the fight, his brain was damaged (again!) and he became partially invalid - something is wrong with his leg and he can't walk without crutches. He takes over Wes' part as the head researcher, 'cos he can't do anything else. But he's unhappy. You know, like really unhappy. Would say he's brooding but...

That's it. I know it's kinda complicated but it has its advantages. Pain. Hurt. Angst. Physical and psychical damage :)

Love

cereza

hmmm...definitely an interesting concept....poor spikey :( and i like the idea of that big battle being just the beginning of an all out apocalyptic war...hmmm...that could be good....thanx for another excellent idea, love....if people keep getting all creative, i might have enough ideas to last a good long while :)

Well get to thinking people. LOL we want to keep DoS in ideas.

I dream of being attacked my vampires all the time. All the way back to when I was twelve and I dreamed that Lestat was sleeping in my basement *wrinkles nose* coffin and all

ewwwwww.... Tom Cruise is icky... :P

Yeah, I liked Louis better at the time anyway ^.^

Though, I like Stuart Townsend Lestat..... so yummy. I have the poster next to my bed

never saw that one...in fact, i've never seen IWTV all the way through, anyway....i just know the Tom Cruise lost his appeal for me just a little bit before he lost his mind :P

yeah, i only like Tom Cruise in maybe Legend and another couple movies maybe.... I really don't like Brad Pitt anymore either for similar reasons

lol...yeah, BP seems to have retained a bit of his sanity though....i just don't care for him anymore since he left JA for that homewrecking freak... :P

Legend, yay. Seriosuly I hate Tommy. Brad, I'm cool with he's just not hot anymore. But his and AJ daughter is so cute. I like them better together than him with JA. She didn't seem his type. *shurgs* Stuart Townsend is nummy, loved him better as Lestat. Just watched Queen of the Damned the other night.

Same here, DoS... and that similar to the reason I hate Penelope Cruz, cause that whole debacle with Tom is stuck in my head too. And at the same time, I'm tired of hearing what celeb slut is sleeping with which celeb slut and making babies that are going to be screwed up.

lol...sigh...you're right, marie... :( most of them are so irreversibly screwed up anyway, who really cares anymore???

now, let's un-hijack this tag and make it about helping me come up with ideas again!!! :P

lol

Okay, how about do like one of my one-shots, except SPIKE gets the spell on him or the bezoar on him so that he's at Buffy's mercy. You would like that, hehe

Hold up people- IMO, TC was *way* better as Lestat.  I'm not talking about the actor, but his acting- he just succeeds tremendously in being evil- Lestat and in "Collateral."  And though he's really short, he looked good as Lestat- I believed him.  I didn't believe Stuart Townsend, and "Queen of the Damned" really sucked, IMO (excluding the soundtrack and Aaliyah's performance, which wasn't utilized very well).

Well I happened to like that movie and loved the soundtrack...

*stick tongue out at Scarlet* I liked Townsen, he HOT. But as far as acting goes them Tom wins, hands down. But I enjoyed both movies greatly. I do have grips about QOTD thought. Both soundtracks rocked, but I like Queen better.

Yeah, QotD was little to do with the book BUT since I hate Anne Rice, that was a big PLUS to me. :P

Hold up you guys- let me clarify.  I like Stuart Townsend- I thought it was way bogus when they cancled his show (what the hell was it called), I found it really interesting.  What I was trying to say that I like Stuart Townsend when he looks like himself, or a normal guy- not so much as a vamp.  Oh, and never heard the sdtk to "Interview..."

I'm a slave for those of the undead, lol. I mean he is hot when he's living but I was drooling on the laptop watching him as a vamp. *nummy* :)

Hmm.... what about a sequal to one of your other fics?? I personally wouldnt mind seeing a sequel to any fic you've written... particularly bloodblound????? At the end you did mention there might be a sequel basically about season 5 with mated Spike n Buffy..... I would be really keen to read that.. :) :nod:

oooo... I also wholeheartedly cheer for you to do cereza's post NFA idea! lol That could have potential.... :)

DoS-

How about a revamped, I mean... tortured Spike version of s2, when he's in the wheelchair?  What if Angelus and Dru decided to play little games with him, that he really doesn't want to play?  And Buffy stumbles upon him one night, and do gooder that she was, decides to help the beaten, broken vamp, especially since she's the one who put him in that chair, leaving him all helpless and what not to his insane sire and even more insane grandsire (you know, cause he was locked away with a soul for a century).  Huh?  How's about it?  And it's not like Spike will be broken forever, maybe there'll be vengeance of some kind, or feeling possesive- take your pic.

SI - There's a fic like that over at SR that I'm following. To Help Thine Enemy is the name I think.

Damn, and I thought I was being original... But there's no harm in a remake, right?  Especially if DoS never read it (I assume).  Anywho, I'll go check it out.  Thanks EAS :D

Yeah, considering my first fic I posted here (not here anymore) was an answer to a challenge that Schez was answering (still is but hasn't updated in awhile that I've seen) then after I started, someone else started answering the challenge as well. Apparently Drac fics were the in thing that season :P

I think DoS's would probably turn out better, not that the other one is horrible.

"I think DoS's would probably turn out better..."

Well, let's see if the lady accepts the challenge ;)  :

And she better, or... :getwriting:  J/K

That is, if she's still reading the thread- it was sorta highjacked, after all :sigh:

Well lets start mocking her and see....

Hey DoS, my muse can beat up your muse.... while Tarzan distracts you with his buttflap :P

oh yeah? well i think i'm pretty well capable of beating up *all* your muses!!! LOL... :P yeah, now I've got lots of ideas to choose from, several here, and also a new joint fic i'll be working on with TwilightChild, so....yea!!!!

though anybody who still has ideas, I'd love to see them....I can always save some of them for later, you know :)

*hugs*

DoS

Do my challenge with putting Spike into the movie >.< No one has answered that challenge and I want to see someone do that for me.

What was your challenge, EAS?  What movie?

And DoS, do you think you could convince or help TC finish or update "Dusk's Haven," cause it was a bloody evil place to stop at...

uh duh, the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer.....

Well "the movie" is kinda vague...  And the rest of the characters are the same in the film?  What about Pike?  And I later assumed that Pike would... I don't want to say "equate," but be like a Spike character.  Perhaps that's just me.

thats what my challenge says, is to swap out pike for spike

you know in some ways pike reminds me of spike. makes mr wonder were joss got the spike idea?

Originally, they wanted Spike to be American and with a Southern drawl. *So* glad they changed it.  And I could see Pike as being a loose blueprint for Spike.

yeah, i read he was going to be Cajun.... can we say Gambit much? lol

Do you think Spike would have had the exact same appeal if they had made him Cajun?  JM would've still been gorgeous, but... I don't think it would have been as much as an appeal somehow.

Well I like Gambit, so I wouldn't have minded too much... still have a sexy accent *bats eyes and drools*

Golden Buffy - I think Joss copped the idea for Spike from Oliver Twist - one of the main characters, who is sometime bad and sometimes good, is named Bill Sykes.  There's another character in the book named Giles.  Hmmm.

DOS - We need a rewrite of Season 7.  We need Dead Kennedy.  We need Buffy groveling.  We need Spike beating up - (so many choices, so little time) - heck, he can start with Giles and Angel and proceed as needed.  We need dead dead dead potentials.  Or better yet No Potentials Whatsoever.  We need Buffy in totally outre' outfits.  We need the spandex pants with the spots.  We need the Chicken of the Sea hairdos.  We want Angst.  We want Love.  We want Sex Sex Sex.  We may even want Andrew. 

Not Cajun - a Southern Gentleman. Like that refined accent South Carolinans have who've grown up "fancy". It's almost English......but they probably wanted a more defined drawl than that, but still.

Well, the stuff I read said Cajun *shrugs*

My info comes from James when telling about his audition and stuff. *shrug*

Thank goodness Spike ended up English!

One of the places I read it was here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551346/bio

It mentions under the part about Spike originally being Creole that Spike did audition with a Southern accent, yes, while they were still deciding what Spike should be.

I also laughed a bit ago when I read on either the trivia page for the show or James on IMDB that Liam is the Irish version of William. *gags* And they probably did that on purpose! *twitches*

They might have asked one of the other auditioners to do Creole.

Aye, it is. Basically the same name. LOL. I always liked William as a name. And there are other nice Liams. But then, I don't dislike Angel, so.....

I had a bunny hit me today that I don't have time to tend to (although I might try later but wouldn't mind a fine writer like you having a crack at first if you don't care I might do a version too later).

Here's the bunny:

When Angel looses his soul, Giles does a ritual that is supposed to cause Buffy to view segments of Angelus' life while in a dreamlike state.  Giles feels this will help her to see him as a vampire in need of killing.  Meanwhile the group try to figure out how to reinstall the soul so Buffy agrees.  

She "goes back" to the time William is brought into the group and witnesses his "training" finding herself in sympathy for the nice young man now turned demon and being put through Angelus' view of boot camp.  Dru would sense her presence but no one would understand her babblings and no one could see Buffy.

Fast forward to the ensouling and Buffy will see Angel (with soul) still trying to play the vampire game but killing criminals, etc. and still lusting after Darla and the life.  This gives her a different view of Angel with a soul.  Somehow (maybe Dru trying to materialize the presence she's felt) Buffy becomes present and Spike, not Angel, protects her until the group get her back to Sunnydale and her own time.

Buffy, ready to take on and take out Angelus, discovers Spike undusty but in the wheelchair for the first time.  (I was thinking the scene where he gives Dru the lovely necklace and she spurns it for the human heart from Angelus).  More angst and oowies for Spike in present time but with a sympathetic and wiser Buffy to see and care.

From there would be rescue, comfort, alliance and so on.

Okay......feel free just don't ANYONE accuse me of stealing the idea if I get around to doing a version myself *G*.

Kathleen

wow...that's an incredible idea... :) i really really like it...and i may just take you up on it...i'll let you know if i do or not because i've gotten several others recently...but that's awesome!!!! wow...

*runs off to try and maneuver writing schedule to make room for awesome new fic*

*hugs*'

DoS

I'm excited you may adopt the little critter!  I KNOW you would just write the hell out of it (you KNOW I think you are the QUEEN of this type of fic, right???) and I'd love to read it.

Kathleen

lol....awwww, thanx :P not sure if being the queen of *this* type of fic is such a good thing :P but i appreciate your encouragement as always...

*hugs*

DoS
