“They exchanged a look, then Edward said, “I had a crush on a girl, the first serious one. I never kissed her, or even held her hand, but I was jealous of every boy who got near her.” I tried to picture a young, insecure Edward and couldn’t, but it was nice to know that once he’d been a boy. Sometimes it felt like Edward had sprung full grown from the head of some violent deity, like a vicious version of Athena.”

I'd like a story where a young, insecure Edward crushes on one of the girls from the Buffyverse and seethes with jealousy every time a guy goes nea...

Lies have a way of growing, one lie leads inevitably to another and another and soon everything spins out of our control. In the aftermath of the awakening of the potentials a woman tells the greatest lie of her life:

I am a Slayer.

How could she fool the Scoobies? What would she be willing to do to protect the lie? Is she being manipulated by outside forces? What will happen if and when the truth comes out? And of course the most important question: why lie?

Whether the woman is part of some evil scheme to take out the Scoobies, someone who believes so hard she's...

Write a fanfic in which the students decide to make there school a countr...

"It was a time of sorceresses whose powers were real. The measure of them is seen in the fact that they never boasted how they grasped the firebrand." from Appendix II The religion of Dune by Frank Herbert.

Dune is still my favourite sci-fi novel I'd like to see more fics in this universe so here are a few plot bunnies.

Maybe I'm jumping the gun. But I'd like to see some crossovers between Buffy and Joss's new show Dollhouse. I've only seen the trailers and some articles reviewing the pilot, so I just know the basic premise of the show. If you want to watch it without anything vaguely spoiler at all look away now. That said here are a few plot bunnies.

1) After the events of Who Are You Faith goes to LA and in her desperation not to be caught agree to become an Active. What will Echo do when she starts to remember a life filled with pain, abuse, neglect, loneliness and nightmarish monsters?

In an AU Harry Potter Verse Buffy is Dumbledore's Phoenix. She has the ability to transform herself into a human being and has undefined powers over Harry and Voldemort's wands because their core's are her tail feathers. I would prefer a Harry/Buffy pairing but feel free to go your own way. If you feel up to including a bonus element: Harry's owl is Olga from the Nightwatch series. To protect Harry Olga switches bodies with him just as she did with Anton in Daywatch.

P.S. An honourable mention goes to Cinnabar Bird by Ava which has basically the same premise but is set in the Anita v...
