I give in...

[elisi]

I had a few minutes while I was running the children's bath, so I tentatively started doing this meme. It was far, far too easy...

10 reasons you know it's a fic by elisi:

1. It’s got Spike and Angel bonding and/or bickering.
2. Someone accidentally sees something that makes them view the other person(s) in a different light.
3. It has a lot of sentences with added bits, like this.
4. Also convoluted sentences, where I struggle with placing commas in the right places, because really, where should they go?
5. Far too many dashes.
6. Spike gets his back on someone, but isn’t too nasty, really.
7. It’s set AtS S5 or post-NFA.
8. If it’s got Buffy and Spike there will be schmoop by the bucketload, sooner or later.
9. Lots of shout-outs to the show.
10. Very character driven, with added plot that hopefully makes sense.


Oh - and I suppose you've all heard of janeespenson? If not, go have a look - she has many interesting things to say!

ETA: Recovered some of my favourite wallpapers. Some from buttersideup's site and some from this place. (Go down to third row from the bottom and click on the one with a moon. It's possibly my favourite of all time!)

I noticed from my log records that you tried to get the flaming hands wallpaper the other day. Well, the links are working now, if you want to go back and grab it. I hadn't even realized that I had forgotten to upload the wallpapers to the website. D'oh!

[elisi]

Oh *thank you*! I was going to mention it, but forgot. I am Mrs Forgetful at the moment!

[elisi]

Oh actually, have you had time to read your essay yet? ::laughs at the ridiculousness of the question::

As I said, it needs a little tweaking still, but I thought you might like to see what I'd done!

Really glad to hear about the recovery :)
I'd heard of her blog, but not that direct link. Thanks :)
7. It’s set AtS S5 or post-NFA.
Except for that one you wrote Season 2, of course. You should write more, like say S6 or S7 :) :)
9. Lots of shout-outs to the show.
Yes, and you do that so well. I'm always convinced of something from you, because you know the characters so well from their interactions on the show. Well done :)
Woah, that was a lot of smiley faces...!

[elisi]

Someone pimped it and after having a look I felt the need to pimp it myself! :)

I only counted my longer fics, the short ones are all over the place.

You should write more, like say S6 or S7 :) :)
Heeeeeeee!

And you've made me blush too (and if Darcy sees this he'll mutter that it goes to prove how obsessed I am and is NOT a good thing! ;) )

Smiley faces rule! :)

Oh and isn't this icon sweet?

Those are beautiful wallpapers!

And thanks for the link to JE's site. I don't know how to add sydicated feeds to LJ, so I usually use Awasu to read them. Somehow, I added whedonesque, but I have no idea how I did it!

[elisi]

I'm glad to be sharing the wallpaper love. :) (Also check out my new icon by ruuger. She posted a whole bunch here.

And all you have to do to add JE is click on the little 'broadcast' icon (where the head usually is on an LJ-user) which will take you to the user info page then click on the 'add friend' button in the manner of ordinary LJer and her posts will show up on your flist! :)

Thank you! You're very kind. That icon is...guh.

[elisi]

No problem! I'm so incompetent when it comes to computers, that whenever I can help someone I feel awfully clever. *g*

That icon is...guh.
Hee! That's exactly what I put in the 'comment' box!
