elisi: Edwin holding a tiny snowman (Fanfic by kathyh)
Yesterday, [livejournal.com profile] stormwreath posted a Pern/'After the Fall' crossover fic: Angel and the Dragon (spoilers for the preview). This was a lovely fic with excellent portrayals of F'lar, Lessa and Angel, and how their worlds might collide. I, however, had also been bitten by a Pern plotbunny. But mine wasn't a crossover in the proper sense... oh no. Instead I followed in the proud tradition of every 14-year-old ff.net writer (and I did consider posting it there under a different name), and turned our beloved BtVS characters into dragonriders... But then, wasn't Angel *made* to be a bronze rider? All that arrogance and I-know-best, it's a *perfect* fit. Still, I know that in posting this I am destroying any shred of self-respect I might ever have possesed - because this truly is crack!fic of the highest order. (Parents have gone out for the day - wrote this down in like half an hour. Un-beta'd. And I doubt I'll ever dare show my face on LJ again. But it was too much fun to leave alone.)

No spoilers for anything, but if you're not familiar with Anne McCaffrey's work this will make NO sense. Trust me.
