Ooooh, it'll be fun when I sit down to write my next part. Things happened almost the exact opposite of how I expected them to.

Also, now that heads have started to roll, what are the chances that I whack Andrew? 10%? 20%? 98%?

Nah, I wouldn't do that just because of a personal bias. And actually, I haven't had any issues with Andrew since early on in the season.

On the other hand, if it makes sense to the story...

I'm just stopping in really quick to say that I may not have a chance to update this in time. So if you're really itching to continue this, BuffyFan, don't wait for me because it might be a while.

I was finally going to update this today when I arrived here at school, then I noticed the word "Today" in bold letters. What was written wasn't what I had planned (and what I had planned wasn't even a plan because I kind of backed myself a little bit into a corner), but I like this too, maybe even better.

[Buffy8Fan]

I just updated and I feel better now. It was left unupdated (for lack of a better word) for far too long.

I hope it'll be a good update when thewindfish does it next time.

[Wind Fish]

Are you implying that my updates usually aren't good?



Nah, I'm just messin' with you. But would you mind telling me what you had planned before you saw my part? You got me curious.

Completely off topic, I'm doing an experiment. For the rest of the week, my handle here will be changed to Wind Fish. The 'the' seems too pretentious. There are other Wind Fishes out there. I've met a couple. They're pretty cool.

All right, I suppose I'll stop stalling and try my hand at writing a scene with a genuine sad tone for the first time. I have a feeling I'm going to have to read my stories about cruddy apartments and falling satellites to cheer me up afterwards though. Reminders of happier writing, you see.

I like Wind Fish as opposed to thewindfish. I always wanted to do Buffy Fan as opposed to BuffyFan but it wouldn't let me put the space in. If someone could fill me in on how that works...

As for what I had originally planned on writing, I had backed myself so far into a corner that I had to give it a lot of thought, which is the reason you were able to update first even after so much time off. I only had a basic idea of a fight sequence between Connor and The Judge in which Connor gets hospitalized then Andrew calls the gang back to Caritas where they find Lorne.

But as you can see that changed a little.

Now I am going to read your next part.

[Buffy8Fan]

Now that I've read the next part and updated and updated with my own, I hope it suites readers and fits with the story.

[Buffy8Fan]

I am not going to update today unfortunately because I don't have a whole lot of time. Instead of being of here now I should be studying for my Math 111 final that I have in 6 hours, so this'll be the last pdate until about January 3.

How to change your user name (or at least how it’s displayed in your posts):

First, you need to go into your profile either by clicking your name on one of your posts or by using the link toward the top of the page.

When you’re at the view profile screen, click 'Modify Profile'.

On the modify profile screen, the fourth option you can change is 'Display Name'. Type in 'Buffy Fan' or whatever you want there. Then click on the modify profile button on the bottom of the page.

That should do it. I think that when they upgraded proboards some months ago, the upgrade allowed names to have spaces. But don't take my word for it 'cause I don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, in case anyone cares, I do plan on updating this soon. I wanted to do it last night but never got around do it. Now that I know there'll be some time in between updates, I’m going to spend a little more time thinking about what I want to do first.

[Wind Fish]

BuffyFan, if you’re still interested in this, go ahead without me for now. My ability to write fiction died about two weeks ago and I just haven’t been able to concentrate on writing anything. I think I wore myself out with other stuff.

Anyway, I wanted to say something just in case you wanted to continue this but were waiting for me or something. I don’t know.

[Buffy8Fan]

I was wating for you Wind Fish, but if your not doing it I'll write until you are. I should say though that I type slow and tend to think about story ideas longer and type myself into corners so each thread update may take longer than if someone were doing it with me (This is an invite for others to join in).

I little while ago. I can't remember how long ago, Emcee came up with an idea she said she wanted to do. I thought it would be a great idea, the problem was it wouldn't be soon enough because one, I am impatient and want thngs as soon as possible (which is another reason I wish S2 would hurry) and two it isn't exactly original. So in order to make it as original as I possibly can, I will write it in The Message Board Fanfic before she does in TNP.

[Wind Fish]

Sorry, I should have said something sooner. Though I didn't realize until the other day that doing my part wasn't in the cards. Writing started to feel like work for me, and that's no good.

This happened to me a while ago (specifically while writing Pavement) and after a break I ended up going at it gradually again. Around the time I decided to gauge interest in this, I think. So I have no doubts that I'll get back to this at some point. Just not now.

Darla being brought into it may motivate me sooner, however.

[Buffy8Fan]

Shockingly the hardest part about this last update was the last paragraph and figuring out which Potential (or potential turned slayers in this case) survived. The only ones I weren't sure about were Amanda and Chao-Ahn.

[Buffy8Fan]

I forgot to mention in the last update that I WANT DARLA TO REALLY BE DARLA. So if anyone has any idea to the contrary please please please I'm begging you don't use them. I prefer no kind of repeats or any other of season four.

As for my last update. There are a collection of grammar and spelling mistakes because I was in a rush to finish this before class. But I don't think any of them are major enough to not know what is going on.

[Buffy8Fan]

This last part was extremely fun. Especially for Exposition.
