He's a demon. She's a vampire. Together, they - fight crime?

Happy Birthday to dessert_first and to romanyg

Manx Telecom has upgraded my Broadband to 8Mb/s. Yay! I’m celebrating with a silly ficlet. You can blame curiouswombat for this one; she came up with the pairing. It’s not as crazy as some of my ficlets, nor is it as overtly funny, but it’s not to be taken too seriously either. It will mean most to British readers, especially

Tee hee hee... I'm missed the references, but Doyle is always good. There should be more buddy-cop fic.

being blacklisted by the Sunnydale Herald sucks

Is there a story there I missed?

[speakr2customrs]

Thank you!

The Herald incident dates back to when I was posting Dojo Hard. I sent them an advice about one chapter, with the listed pairings including Wesley/Ampata. They printed the notice with the pairing as Wesley/OC. I did a little mild mocking of them on my journal for not recognising that Ampata was the Inca Mummy Girl and not an OC; they took it badly and blacklisted me. Most of the Herald editors have changed since then, and I recently posted a comment there asking if I'm still blacklisted, but I've had no reply. I'm taking that to mean that the blacklisting still stands.

I think I remember that post - I didn't realise it had garnered such a reaction! But then I don't really read the Herald, because they don't usually list anything I'm interested in that petzipellepingo hasn't already mentioned - though I was a little miffed to see that they'd linked to my second-last fic without saying it was by me (even though I'm sure it was a typo).

Anyway - bizzare!

I've just posted a drabble dedicated to you; a Winnie the Pooh/Gladiator crossover!

[ffutures]

Oh wonderful. That's a pairing I never thought of, and given your love of puns I should have guessed it might be coming.

What happens when Doyle looks in the phone book and tracks Angel down to The Hyperion / Wolfram and Hart (not sure where we are in Angel chronology)?

[speakr2customrs]

Thank you! In this case the pun came from the Wombat.

If we assume that the discarded paper is a few days old then Angel is, about now, being deposited at the bottom of the ocean by Connor and Cordy is Ascending.

And I've suddenly had a plot bunny strike; maybe I'll continue this AU Bodhi & Doyle-verse after all...

[pfeifferpack]

Oh I love this pairing! Doyle was a favorite of mine and I can just see him as part of this offbeat duo. Nicely done!

What's this about being blacklisted from the Sunnydale Herald? (Of course they have always ignored me entirely but I do read their recommendations). Have they gone mad?

Thank you!

10th July 2007. I'd notified the Herald of the posting of the final chapter of 'Dojo Hard' with the pairings listed including 'Wesley/Ampata'. When they put up the next issue they showed it with the pairing changed to 'Wesley/OC'. I mentioned this in my next LJ post, mocking them slightly and wondering if they hadn't realised who Ampata was; they were not amused and blacklisted me (and, as a side effect, effectively blacklisted the Wombat because she always relies on me to do things like notifying the Herald).

Since that time most of the SU Herald editors have changed; I thought this might mean that they'd take me off the blacklist, and asked about this a couple of days ago, but I've had no reply so I have to assume I'm still blacklisted.

[dessert_first]

Aww, thanks for the birthday wishes! And Doyle!fic. Oh, I did love that character. I'm glad you found a way to bring him back.

[speakr2customrs]

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not bringing him back in the main story, it wouldn't fit the plan, but I have a rough idea for a sequel in this version of the 'verse and the oddball couple might return eventually.
