(Meta) In Chronological Order, Redux

[stormwreath]

So, a while back I posted a list of all my fic in chronological order. deird1 suggested that it would be a really useful index if it had links that you could click on to read each story; I apologised that I hadn't had time to do anything so ambitous.

So what does she do? She goes and creates the index for me.

This is very impressive. *applauds*

But if I can just pick one nit - if "Past Imperfect, Future Conditional, Present Tense" is set in 1997, shouldn't the other time travel fic "We Just Declared War" be set in the year 2179?

[stormwreath]

I had to think abut that one... but no. This is a Buffyverse timeline, and it lists when the fic took place in Buffyverse continuity... not that of the crossover universe.

'We Just Declared War' has Buffy going through a portal into a parallel dimension; it may be the 22nd century from Ripley's perspective, but from Buffy's it's still Season 8. Similarly, 'Angel And The Dragon' is set during 'After The Fall' from Angel's perspective, but from F'lar and Lessa's it's about 3,000 years in our future. But the story's not about them, it's about Buffy and Angel respectively.

Fair enough. :-)

You certainly owe deird1 a lot! Perhaps you can distract her with something shiny?

[stormwreath]

Maybe I shuld glue some glitter onto the pony before I send it?

:-)

[stormwreath]

Well, a lot of the fic listed there is drabbles, so in terms of actual wordcount, there are plenty of people on my flist who've written a lot more.

But more readers are always welcome. :-)

Ahh, that lovely deird. Whatta sweetie.

(I do, like a stalker, have deird's address from the return address she put on a card she sent me. So I could help arrange the pony thing - but the kid, not so much.)

[stormwreath]

Address? We don't need no steenking addresses. I was just going to nail the pony into a huge wooden box with some airholes, wrap a pink ribbon around it, and write on the side "Deird1, Melbourne, Australia". Surely that will work?

but the kid, not so much

Oh, but only if the ribbon is super sparkly and you douse it in nice-smelling perfume.

Sorrrry. It'd go against my sworn promise to myself to never ever ever do that pregnancy thing. Yeuuucchhh.

And if any of the female members of my flist would like to help me with another little, um, creative project, let me know...

*volunteers*

My mom really wants a grandkid. I'm sure she'd love one with a British accent.

[stormwreath]

\o/ yay!

British accent.

Um... that could be a problem, since we'd be giving the firstborn to deird1. S/He would probably end up with an Australian accent instead. Is that a dealbreaker?

[gabrielleabelle]

Nah. I have the cheatcode to get twins. We'll give the first one to deird1 and the second one to my mom. 'Tis perfect.

And British accents are genetic, right? Right??

[stormwreath]

British accents are genetic, right?

Well, everybody in my family has one, so I assume so...

Also, in my experience, when parents say they want grandchildren, they're not actually expecting you to ring their doorbell, hand over the baby and say "Here you go, see you next Christmas!" :-)
