Hello! Of late, I've been so very bad about posting and actually being around LJ but I am trying to fix that! :D And my first step back is to finally post about the completed Round Robin fic I participated in: Living Conditions.

It's an honour to have my name on a fic which is also written by some of my favourite authors: electricalgwen, reremouse and savoytruffle. This is a Round Robin fic where each author wrote two of the nine chapters and we all collaborated on the ninth. Post-series, Spike runs into Xander in London. Both have had changes in their circumstances. Low-key shagging and angst ensue.

I really love this fic and hope that you do too!

Title: Living Conditions
Author: Multiple authors: cordelianne, electricalgwen, savoytruffle and reremouse
Chapters: Parts 5 to 9/9 *COMPLETED*
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Big questions, vagueness and sex talk. A Xander divided against itself trying to stand. Curtailed sex, reminiscences of evisceration, and destruction of furniture. Brooding, boorishness and the Olympic dream.
Notes: This is a round robin fic, with each chapter having been written by a different author. There are four authors and nine chapters total (we will write two chapters each and collaborate on the ninth).
Summary: A number of years post-Chosen/NFA, Spike pays Xander a visit. He finds a changed Xander, but Xander’s not the only one who’s changed. We blatantly ignore the comics.

You can find all chapters HERE in memories.

( Would you like a taste of the fic? )

For spring_with_xan a few of us decided to do another round robin! (The four of us participated in Little Risk Involved last year which we also posted for spring_with_xan.) And here's this year's round robin:

Title: Living Conditions
Author: Multiple authors: cordelianne, electricalgwen, savoytruffle and reremouse
Chapters: Parts 1 to 4/9
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Second-hand nicotine, too much sun and lurking. Insults, collapsing, and Killer Vindaloo. Objectifying ruminations, petty envy, hippos. Orgasms, morning breath, snooping.
Notes: This is a round robin fic, with each chapter having been written by a different author. Each author will be posting her own chapter throughout the day. There are four authors and nine chapters total (we will write two chapters each and collaborate on the ninth). We will be posting four chapters today and the remaining five on our next posting day, June 19th.
Summary: A number of years post-Chosen/NFA, Spike pays Xander a visit. He finds a changed Xander, but Xander’s not the only one who’s changed. We blatantly ignore the comics.

Hi all!! I'm relaxing at home right now after a very fun day at Pride, which included a yummy brunch and getting to walk with my girlfriend in the Dyke March. No parties for us tonight because we plan to get up early for more brunch and to check out the Pride parade. I've been planning to post about my fabulous vacation (and hope to soon), but in the meantime I have an exciting fic to tell you about (if you haven't heard about it already *g*).

On Thursday, several other authors and I posted a round robin fic for spring_with_xan. It was awesome to participate in a fic with authors I really admire! We each had autonomy over our own chapters (we'd agreed on general parameters beforehand) and I think it turned out really well! So, if you haven't seen it yet, and are interested, it'll be awesome if you check it out. :)


Title: Little Risk Involved
Authors: savoytruffle, electricalgwen, madame_meretrix, apreludetoanend, cordelianne, and reremouse
Pairing: Spike/Xander
Rating: Adult
Warnings: Exploration of new frontiers, awkward reunions, talking to bleached blond strangers
Notes: The title comes from "Shelter from the Storm" by Bob Dylan, a song which we feel evokes the themes of the story. Check out the lyrics if you like.
Summary: Alternative reality in which Jessica Harris left Tony and Sunnydale, taking her son with her before Xander ever started high school. After graduation - in the time of early Season 4 - Xander returns.
