Welcome to the Rules'verse

[brutti_ma_buoni]

The Rules'verse is my Faith/Giles post-Chosen series. I'm still actively working on this, and things are becoming complex in terms of time, and the verse has expanded beyond the original F/G focus. So here's a full timeline to explain all; spoilers, obviously, for later in the series. If you prefer to read them as originally written, there's also a

That's very handy. Thank you. And I haven't read the latest one. :goes off to do so:

I've been meaning to look at your Rules-verse fic for a while and seeing your seasonal-spuffy entry has reminded me of that fact. And now I get here and there's a timeline for me to follow. If there's something I love to do it's reading things in chronological order.

Hope it's OK that I've friended you so that I can keep up with your schmoop-bingo entries as well, once I'm up and running with the series as a whole.

Never thought I'd find myself reading Giles/Faith, but I want to read the Spike/Buffy bits and like to know how they fit in to the story as a whole. Never say never, as they say.

You're totally welcome! I hope it's not too confusing with the timeline - a lot of the fics wander around a bit.

There's more Spuffy in the schmoop bingos, so I hope you stick around!

I'm absolutely in love with this series, I just spent the entire day reading it all through.

I wondered about something though. I've used the timeline to read through these (and thanks so much for that handy thing!), but three stories aren't on there (Rockery, Polyglot and Anyplace is paradise). Is that on purpose?

[brutti_ma_buoni]

I can't believe you've taken so much trouble with comments for this - it's been lovely to check in occasionally during my work day and see more have come in! It's wonderful to know people are still reading this; seems like I created this vast verse in about six months and now it's so huge it's intimidating. But I love it to bits, and I'm glad you do too!

And nope, that would be my sloppiness not anything else. They aren't the most fixed in time of the stories but there's no reason for them not to be on the timeline. I'll try to fix it reasonably sensibly.

This is a truly amazing collection! I've been reading steadily all week and am very impressed, particularly with your Faith/Giles. Not a pairing that I've seen often but you've pulled it off with style.

Wow, it's great to hear from new readers who've taken the plunge into the Rulesverse. I'm so glad you're enjoying what you've found.

I read Pull the Curtain Back on seasonal spuffy. So now, of course, I have to read the rulesverse in the order set out on your timeline....

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Heh. I hope you don't get lost! It sort of grew...
