Seasonal Spuffy October 14

This is the first time that I have ever tried posting with the required “lj cut” and my first time posting to this wonderful buffy group – hope this works – I have no idea what the “h” I am doing.  If things go badly, you can view my enteries at my lj:   nmcil12

Even Champions Need a Home – 1

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Even Champions Need a Home

Title: Even Champions Need a Home
Author: Slaymesoftly
Rating: PG13
Disclaimer: It didn’t happen this way, because the man who owns these characters didn’t write it. But he said I could. :)

Summary: It’s the summer before Season VII; Buffy is led to Spike and told he is a champion that she must take care of until it’s time for him. She’s dubious at first, but very glad to see him again. Important conversations are had, as they should have been, long before he goes up like a candle.

AN: Although, this was written for Seasonal Spuffy, I started it based on a banner that I liked at a “fic for banner” community – may have been WriterCon UK, I don’t remember. Anyway, it turned out that someone else had already chosen that banner and I didn’t want to share (lol), so I chose another one and tucked this idea away. But I wanted to tell the story, so I brought it out and tried to bend it so as to at least approach the “Humor” “Hope” themes of this round. It’s not laugh-out-loud funny, and since we all know the ultimate ending, can’t really be hopeful in the long-term; but at this little point in their relationship…

This gorgeous banner, as was the original one, is from my wonderful beta, Always_jbj, who is multi-talented. Aren’t I lucky?

My Third And Last Post – Manip, two versions

Title: Nightlife
Rating: Worksafe
Medium: Manip, two versions
Other pairings: None
Resources: listed on my profile page
A/N: This is pretty much just Spike and Buffy looking gorgeous together. There are two versions of this manip – the one with the “natural” coloring and then the one I went a bit arty with.
Warning: These are both quite big piccies.

Click on the thumbnail to see the arty version in full size.

Second Post – Manip

Title: Didn’t have time to come up with anything proper. Suggestions are more than welcome!
Rating: Worksafe
Medium: Manip
Other pairings: None
Resources: listed on my profile page
A/N: I made this really really fast and am not exactly sure if I like it or not, but I wanted to make something to go with the theme of this round and this is my attempt at manipping comedy Spuffy. It’s Buffy and Spike in the world where Spike indeed works at Wolfram and Heart. You’ll know what I mean when you see his outfit… :)

My First Post – Manip

So, it’s finally here – the day I’ve been looking forward to with both excitement and utter horror. I’ve admired this community and the artists and the writers that post here from the days I hadn’t even considered trying to create something myself. And now I’m here, posting my stuff among the people I’ve always looked up to and it’s just whoa, crazy! Not to mention scary. Plus there’s some serious butterfly migration going on in my tummy. But that’s just me – I’m a hopeless case when it comes to situations like this.

Anyway. I really wanted to come up with something worth the occasion. I had it all planned out how I’m going to start early and take my time and what not. I was so pleased with myself being so well organized and all until I got to the actual doing part of the task in question and how about it – my internet connection went down. And it stayed down until the day before yesterday. I couldn’t get to my resources. I couldn’t do anything but panic. And so these posts are not going to be as I’d planned, but come hell or high water here they are…

Other Skies, Other Worlds

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments! I’ll reply to each, of course, but a general hug to everyone who took a moment to let me know they like my stuff.

Title: Other Skies, Other Worlds
Rating: PG. Worksafe.
Medium: Fan art, manip
Base: Spike base is a promo shot from Eragon; Buffy base is the art piece Red Sonja by the fantastically talented Donato Giancola. I sure would love to find more bases for fantasy-ish females that don’t have boobs bigger than their heads and are actually wearing clothing!
Other pairings: None
Warning: Most of my stuff is big and may bog down dial up users.

My Posting Day

RL has been a complete bugger for me the last couple of months (the stillbirth of my grandson, the deaths of an uncle and cousin, my mother’s rapidly declining health topped off by our most hectic time of the year at work) and I was nervous about getting some pics done for today, my posting day. I’m very glad to have finished a few and though they don’t follow the comedy theme, I hope you enjoy them.

Title: None
Rating: G. Completely worksafe.
Medium: Fan art; manip
Base: Photo of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seth Green from the recent cast reunion.
Other pairings: None
