Title: Papay Ate My Baby
Word Count: 200
Fandom: BtVS,
Challenge: #117, lost in translation
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the words, and that's probably up for philosophical debate.
Summary: Starting a musical revolution is okay with Oz, but the OZ has a scene he already likes.
Notes: 4th in my unnamed series. Also possibly the most disjointed

As far as wishing for more words in your Harry Potter story, I frequently experience the same. I recommend expanding on the story, and then posting it somewhere else...TwistingTheHellmouth, AO3, etc.

[tvashti]

Yeah. I've done similarly before. I have a story that I wrote as a full story but, for whatever reason, cut down to a double or triple drabble, then a single drabble. I ended up posting all three. As for this one, I think a lot of what's going on in my head about the twins' background w/Buff is missing. She's supposed to be relatively annoying/aggravating.

Unnie! Thank you thank you :D

Tag added.

The second was funny, despite the lack of wordspace. But I absolutely adored the first, particularly the ending: "No one gets it. But that’s okay."

Oz/DG. ♥♥♥♥♥ A four-letter ship I never thought I'd adore, but that's what fanfic's for, right?

[tvashti]

:D Thank you sooooo much. Your plot bunny is definitely the reason why Oz is still in the OZ. He wasn't meant to stay, originally. You're also the reason there may be another BtVS/Enchanted crossover, but I can't quite get my thoughts/plot together.

That was an interesting read! I imagine it's challenging to come up with a cohesive storyline in exactly 200 words

[tvashti]

Hey Shuk! Thanks for the review!

As for the Weasleys...they're not trying to pull a prank on Buffy. They're trying to be helpful b/c she's been annoying them with her whining about Mr. Pointy if/when vampires appear. To go with this challenge's theme of "lost in translation" the issue is that they're mishearing Buffy -- partly through an American/English accent lense and partly through a Wizard/Muggle lense. They have no frame of reference for "Mr. Pointy" so they hear it as Mr. Point Me and create on for her so she'll stop whining. Which is why I need more than 200 words to make that clearer. Le sigh. I'll probably follow earcmacfithil's advice and post a longer version somewhere

Hi, Ivoire here,

This was an interesting read. I was looking back at some OTs and came across this link post on March 5 or 6. Keep up the good work.
