When fandoms collide

[cmk418]

My first thought on waking up this morning wasn't on Easter. It was on the fact that at the end of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" everybody who survived is on a bus heading out of Sunnydale. Which made me think of "OZ" and the way it ended. And then it was a quick sidestep to temporal folds or hijacking detours (or some combination of the two) which would make the idea of Rupert Giles & Tim McManus meeting at a rest stop later on somewhat possible.

I wrote my very first BtVS drabble today. (It's here) I'm quite proud of it - I never would have expected to have written for Wesley, at all. It does smack of some OZ S4 McManus - if you've ever read any of my drabbles on the pre-return to EmCity, you'll recognize the emotions.

Went to a nice Easter Vigil service last night. It was quite long - we did 7 readings and all of the rituals involved. Even though we have a small community, it is always very well done.

There are a few more people coming to the shower next weekend. It'll be nice. I was informed today that I still need to send out one more invitation. I'm glad I didn't throw the last of the envelopes away.

Listened to the Hawks-Blues game today. My beloved Blackhawks won. My dad is taking the hard line that he's going to root for the Blues when we go to the game next Saturday (yes, it - and I - will be in St. Louis, but that's really not the point). He knows where my loyalties lie, but I guess this means, I won't go and wear the full red and black ensemble on Saturday, but next Sunday I may.

It's nice to have a few hours before I have to start thinking about work. Only 4 days this week! Hoo-ray!

I hope you had a happy Easter.
I looked at the drabble you wrote,and I liked it even though I know very little of Buffy. I liked the way you wrote the mind of the character,who was about to be taken down but doesn't know it yet!

Hope your Easter was nice as well.

Thanks for reading it - Wes is pretty arrogant, so I wanted to capture a bit of that as to set him up in order to have all of his illusions destroyed. It's a fun show (very well written) if you enjoy girls kicking butt as well as the fantasy element of it.

Thank you-Easter was good,although hectic. I had two of my Aunts over for dinner because it's hard for my Dad to travel.

I like any show where women kick ass,or where women are shown as warriors. I loved the original Avengers and Mrs. Peel was one of my role models. They used to show the Avengers every day in syndication and I was totally addicted.
I also loved Xena and Gabrielle and all the Amazons on Xena:Warrior Princess.
And on Firefly, Zoey is my favorite character.
I used to love the actress when she was in Hercules. She always plays the warrior/Goddess type.
I do like fantasy. It's not my favorite type of show,but I do like it sometimes.
I thought that was funny that in the end of Buffy they're all on a bus like the people from Oz were. I can imagine if they met! I know you did a story about Miguel meeting River,and I should have commented there, because I really enjoyed that story. Miguel would have been happy if something like that happened to him. He would have wanted to go into solitary more often.! :)

The Miguel/River thing may have one more part to it. It was really just a bit of fun for my flist which has quite a few FF people in it, but I started thinking about it more and it might develop.

I would like to see more of Miguel and River. Definitely an interesting combination!
