Warnings this story deals with home birth, considering adoption, found families, and duelling to the death. Not enormously graphic on the first and last.
Inspired by This is a sequel to my last Seasonal Spuffy story So Rudely Interrupted – not really what I intended for the theme but then I got all inspired. You should be able to read this without refreshing the first one, but they probably go better together (and neither is all that long!).
Fic: “The First of Those Horrible Conversations” (1/1)
Hello! Yay for ten years of Seasonal Spuffy! *tosses confetti*

Banners and Icons Inspired by Shapinglight’s “Casablanca” (and Rebcake’s request for poppies)
My apologies for missing the 11th: my internet connection went bust as I was finishing this post. We just came back live, yay! Now without further adieu, on with the show.
This being my first post proper at seasonal_spuffy: HAPPY TENTH ANNIVERSARY! Thank you to the mods and members for all the work they do to keep this alive and especial thanks this past month to teragramm for all her advice and support and to rebcake for still being one of the nicest people I know in fandom.
First off, some poster art for shapinglight ‘s “Casablanca” from Round 18; I’ve wanted to make artwork for it since I read it last May and this round provided the perfect motivation and excuse. As usual for me there are alts: in this case, four poster styles, plus accompanying icons. I’ve tried to be faithful to the spirit if not the letter of shapinglight‘s wonderful, mournful, elegant and strangely hopeful tale. I hope she approves. She is welcome to use any and all she likes.*

Title: What Lay Onward and What Behind

Continuity: Set a decade after “Chosen”
Warning: Buffy/Other
Length: ~3400 Words
Rating: R
Betas: all4spike (who speedily ran the piece through her fine comb), baphrosia and dragonyphoenix, for their special guest critique, who are just the kind of critics a writer’s dreams are made of. Thank you all so much! This is a work in progress, so all remaining errors are mine.
Author’s Note: Since my wonderful f-list has encouraged me to hold fast and steady to my own artistic vision and not to pander, note the Buffy/Other (F/M) in this story. Also: I’ve never been to Japan or Cambodia (layovers don’t count, I think). Let me know if anything doesn’t ring true. Otherwise, much praise is due to Google.
Feedback: Yes, yes and yes please! Won’t you be so kind?

Fic: Fire in the Soul (6a/9)
A new chapter of my San Francisco story/travelogue! It’s been awhile, but the end is in sight! I’m sorry not to have a self-contained piece for this round, but I’m determined to finish this seasonal_spuffy WIP. (How do you novel-length authors do it?)
