elisi | A bit of Spuffy pimpin' + other stuff.

sb_fag_ends [fag end (n.): (British) the remainder of a smoked cigarette, usually when it has been thrown away. And possibly stomped on.] is a community for producing quick drags of Spike/Buffy fanfiction, ie. between 100 and 500 words. Ten prompts will be posted every week, in response to which authors may post as many fag ends as they like. The only necessity is that the fics depict Spike/Buffy: it doesn't have to be perfect and it doesn't have to be pretty - these are fag ends after all! Any and every rating/genre combo is welcome. (I was there when it was created! [The icon was my idea.] I feel all connected and stuff! *g*)

And

penny_lane_42 wrote a wonderful post about Spike/Buffy, that you should all go read! (OMG the nostalgia... Oh my ship!)

In RL news then I'm very busy just doing all the stuff I don't normally have time for. Tuesday I sorted out mine and Darcy's bedroom (not quite there yet, but it is a *lot* better) and yesterday I tackled Impish Girl and the Cherub's bedroom and I feel like someone should give me a medal. I went through things that have not seen the light of day for... years. (Those of you with children will know just how much *stuff* they amass. ::cries::)

Sustaining me throughout all this has been The Writer's Tale (RTD and Benjamin Cook) which is 50 million shades of wonderful and incredible and insightful and so marvelously long that I'm still not done! Hurrah!

OH! And because of only being on LJ in a very lurk-y fashion, I've forgotten to pimp this EXCELLENT Sherlock vid:

Very clever and exquisitely made. And the song is so good that I had to go and buy it. :)

So for me to enjoy the name, I'd have to first be impressed by how a cigarette is a positive object.
It's a Spike thing. And Spike isn't really positive, I guess. Vampires and death and all that, although I can see why it's hard for you to see past the RL implications.

To be honest, then I think it's as much about the comics, as anything. They're making people grumpy and defensive and tired of being stomped on by the DH PTB. So the name is a way of claiming it back - we might be disregarded and seen as useless, but sod that. We'll rather be ugly, than glowy.

(Don't mean to sound grumpy with you btw, I hope it didn't come across that way!)
