Birthdays!

[elisi]

Today is the birthday of the multi-talented stormwreath! Fic, meta, artwork, icons, vids... you name it, he's done it, and done it well! I am totally taking credit for luring him onto LJ from the wilderness of alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer. :)

And tomorrow is the birthday of my dear shapinglight, a fabulously talented writer and one who does her utmost to keep the Spike-love alive.

I hope you both have marvellous days, and I'd totally have written you something if RL wasn't so horribly busy!

Thank you very much, love.

I just wish I could've done something special... ah well, have a fabulous day! *hugs*

Thank you! And these days, a.t.bvs is more wildernesslike than ever, unfortunately.

You do know if you take credit for me being here you've also got to take the blame for everything I do?
Mwahahaha....

Thank you!
My pleasure. :)

I haven't had a look in... ages. But it always struck me as the Outback of fandom.

Mwahahaha....
That's a sacrifice I'm prepared to make. (And I can always blame a.t.bvs for warping your mind... *g*)

But it always struck me as the Outback of fandom.

It is now. But back in the days when the show was still being broadcast, it was crowded. A world of smoke and half-truths, intangible. A world of torment and of unnamable beauty. Opaline towers as high as small moons. Glaciers that rippled with insensate lust.

Now, there's nothing there but shrimp. :-)

Awwww... See I missed all the 'fun' back then, on account of not knowing about fandom. (And I'm quite relieved to be honest - fandom can be a scary place, which is one reason I stay far away from the DW and TW fandoms!)

To be honest, I preferred uk.media.tv.buffy-v-slayer to alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer myself, since it had fewer spoilers and fewer Americans. Although there were some classic posts... I even saved this one from December 2002, by Kevin Ward, which included a little-known passage from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales:

The description of Buffy in the General Prologue is
as follows:

A slayer was there eek, of Sunnydale,
And though she was a yonge mayde, and smale,
A thousand yvel feendes had she queynte.
The Maister had she quelled, though she dreynte;
The breeth from foul Acathel had she take,
And sleyn the Maire whan he was a snake.
From Adam had she drawe his sours of pour,
And Glory had she fought with greet valour,
And, rysyng fro the grave, had swyved Spike
From eight til nine, on Tuesdaye, everich wike.

(May not be funny if you're not familiar with the original, or with 14th century Middle English... ;-))
