Birthday wishes/pimps

[ponders_life]

Happy birthday to:

- romanyg, all-around sweetheart, fellow figure-skating fan and not-prolific-but-brilliant writer, who is probably best known for His Body a Boat (which is wonderful), but I actually like One of Them better -- she really gets inside Spike's head in this one.

- dessert_first, whose very funny "On Location in Egypt" series takes place in and around

Thank you for the birthday wish/pimp!

And you read "One of Them". And liked it! Now I'm going to have to go back and take a look at it because, being my *cough*first*cough* fic, it might be a tad gangly.

But thank you, you are a darling! In person and on LJ.

And I *adore* dessert_first's "On Location" series and the work that she's done with Tesla. So I'm honored to share a birthday with her.

You, you influential woman, you! Now I've got manymany comments on "One of Them" where I had two before. Hee!

I so owe you. What can I do for you? A drablety/ficlet thing? Let me know.

And I hope you are having the *best* time at Worldcon.

I'm glad that so many people have discovered your writing; you deserve a much wider readership! But I can't claim credit for being the influential one; most of the people who commented on your "One of Them" post aren't on my Flist, so they couldn't have seen my rec post. I'm not sure, but I think that maybe estepheia saw my rec and read your story, then she pimped it on her LJ, and it snowballed from there.

However, I suppose I can claim credit for starting the ball rolling, so I certainly won't turn down your offer to write something for me! How about some post-Chosen Xander, either in Africa or just returned from Africa, and post-NFA Spike?

Oooh boy, a challenge! I have a ficathon thing that is on the front burner, but then you're next up.

I need to practice my Xander voice though...tra la La la la *voice breaks*
