Every Slayer Needs a Watcher: signups open!
Every Slayer needs a Watcher! Let's celebrate this truth with stories in a Buffy/Giles ficathon.
Buffy Summers, Slayer, and Rupert Giles, Watcher. Together the way... fate? destiny? annoying people at the Council of Watchers? pure accident? intended them to be. Which, apart from being a little weird, is kind of okay.
This is a standard matchups ficathon. You'll sign up with prompts for the story you'd like written for you, and a description of what you're able to write. You'll receive an assignment to write for another person. On the due date, I'll post the masterlist here in allthejellies. You'll post your story wherever you like (in this comm would be cool), and comment to the masterlist with a link. I'll add your story to the master list. Reading pleasure will follow.
This is a Buffy/Giles ficathon, so the pairing is assumed. Friendship fic is welcomed as well, if you prefer that. If the relationship between the two is front and center, you're doing it right.
Keep in mind that you're prompting your assignee to nudge the muse into action. Don't over-specify. Also, we're pretending the season 8 comics don't exist unless you specifically say they do in your signup.
