As 2012 comes to a close and a new year approaches, I encourage our authors to look to the future... and where the characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: the Series might fit into that future.

Assuming you're one of the people who doesn't ignore the Buffy Season 8/9 comics and their Angel counterparts, the present day in the universe is roughly 2006. For those of us who don't accept the comics, that rolls back to 2004. Either way, you're looking at a significant gap in time between the end of canon and the present. But the point of this event isn't to bridge the gap. No, my...

What's a 20 Minute Challenge, you ask? These have been around for a while now. You take 20 minutes, the topic and/or character that you're given, and you write.

At the end of 20 minutes you stop.

Now that you've got that straight, here's your latest assignment...

20 Minutes over the rainbow.

Willow. Tara. Kennedy. Satsu. Larry. And... well, seriously, does anyone here actually think Andrew is straight? Take your favorite LGBT character and hook them up with your crossover partner of choice. It's okay if you feed that person a Magical Mushroom of Gayness or t...

20 Minutes with the Power Rangers.

Rita was a witch. Several Ranger teams have fought demons and other supernatural entities, including vampires. The Mystic Force Rangers are witches and wizards, and the upcoming Operation Overdrive revolves around the 'Crown of the Gods'. All kinds of interesting t...

Just a catch-all to help organize those on the site who are participating in Jinni's madcap scheme on LiveJournal.

I was reminded, after placing Dawn in mortal peril in not one, but two ficlets last night, of the line about Dawn and Tuesdays... in relation to trouble.

So how about a nice spree of ficlets today wherein Dawn is in jeopardy, hurt, dead, dying, or some variation thereof?

I had the idea a bit ago, but since I prefer to stick to the Marvel-verse I figured I'd toss it out for someone else.

Universes: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Harry Potter
Pairing: Dawn Summers/Nymphadora Tonks
Premise: Rather than automatically deciding that Dawn = Key = Super All-Powerful Magical Witch Girl, I thought it'd be cool if Dawn's glowing green ballness made her a metamorphmagus. This would probably be best set after S7, so that Dawn isn't a squickworthy age compared to Tonks. You don't have to give her any other magical powers if you don't want to, and I especially don...
