[Natter about Buffy's anniversary & background for fic]So, Buffy's anniversary. I wanted to do something to mark it, but couldn't think of anything... Until I remembered this fic.

I also think of substandard writers who are published, but let's not go there. Grrr

Well, I have had several essays/pieces published (well, three + another four - I can give further details if you're curious) and am working on two books. One of which is a trilogy. So give it time...
