shadowscastYesterday, I completed a fic! ::insert squeal of glee::
It's a standalone Spike/Xander story in which I play with the Groundhog Day trope (a thing I've wanted to do since practically forever). And man, would I like to post it right now! But ... I think I'm gonna wait. I'd really like to participate in Fall For S/X (as I have every year since my Writercon 2 roommates talked me into it, even if in the Autumn of the Newborn Baby I only managed a tiny 200 word-ish slice of life thing in place of an actual fic). And I suspect I'm not going to have a chance to complete anything else before December 21st, keeping in mind my general inability to keep a fic down to less than 10,000 words!
So hey you guys, does anybody know for sure if Fall for S/X is happening this year?
Okay, in other news, as soon as I finished writing my own Spike/Xander story, I went off and read somebody else's! So now I have a rec for you:
Xander Harris vs Destiny by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cordelianne, reremouse, and savoytruffle
Okay, not that there are probably many people on my flist who missed this when it first came out, but still! I just read it this morning, so I'm reccing it, darn it. It's a lighthearted, sexy road trip with a mystery built in. Or something like that, anyway! And it all makes sense in the end. (And oh man, now I understand the title!)
ETA: I have a Fall for S/X posting date—September 23rd. Woot!
