Collected Thoughts

I missed beta appreciation day, bad me. So, once again I'm late to the game.

Without my beta readers my stories would be sad little things overflowing with comma splices and other atrocities.

My Smallville beta readers: sarahsworld, Dan J., Jen K,pritchkate, and pandarus

Jossverse beta readers: ElenaB (who's After the Fall series inspired me to write my first Buffy story),and minim_calibre

And I have to mention the Buffistas who read various stories of mine and made suggestions and gave encouragement.

So my Last Five stories:

Such a Darkness This is a "fill in the blanks" story covering Wesley's point of view during his possession during Billy. It starts when Wes is looking through the slides and ends with "Let's finish this", which is just prior to him getting smacked in the head by Fred's trap. Wes's thoughts are very violent and misogynistic. I really wanted to know what was going on in Wesley's head during Billy. What was going on in Wesley's head is dark,twisted, and violent.


Judas. This is a very short piece, Wesley wakes up and in that confusion that often comes with just waking up he's forgotten about what has happened, he feels the scar and remembers what he did and what he lost.

Variations of a Kiss. "Lex thinks about how he will first kiss Clark." Lex wants to be prepared for anything and he's envisioned three ways his first kiss with Clark might be. And then there is the first kiss.

Small Potatoes. This is a character study about Whitney for the Smallville X files title challenge. Whitney's afraid of two things, and one of them is coming true.

Biogenesis Also for the X Files title challenge. This is set at some point in the future. Superman explains his origins. Clark and Lex created Superman, but Superman became a separate identity from "Clark Kent". Superman survived, but neither Clark nor Lex did. Superman sounds very logical, but he's not the most reliable narrator.

What do these stories say about me? I like exploring the dark side of character's personalities. But I can do lightness and fun when I put my mind to it.
