I've been nominated!!!

To be more specific, Tijuana For Two has been nominated for the 'Yanni CD and a Bottle of Chianti' (Romance) Award at the White Knight Awards.

Great big thanks to whoever nominated me. This is my first nomination, so it's a big deal for me.

I think I'll say nominated a few more times. It's fun.

The fic is 3500 words, plus I went a little overboard on the author’s notes.
Giles and Ethan preslash or friendship, Giles/OFC, all pre-series
Summary: He’s changed his name from time to time. She changed hers once, as well.
Beta’ed by Mr. Jay.
Disclaimer: Ethan Rayne and Rupert Giles are the property of Joss and Mutant Enemy.

This is a prequel to The Need to Believe, which was set during season 3. An incident in this story is also mentioned in my first fanfic Come Hither, set post-Chosen, but I don't think Come Hither and The Need to Believe are in the same verse.

Warning: Giles is going to seem like an incredible hypocrite, if you don’t read The Need to Believe first.

I didn’t try to convey the different English accents used here through altered spelling because (1) it’s hard to write and hard to read and (2) I don’t think I could accurately convey the accents anyway. I hope they will be clear from the word usage. I’d appreciate feedback on that, though.


katekat1010 made me another of her wonderful movie posters.



This was part of a group she did for summer_of_giles. You can view the others she made here.

Okay, I edited previous chapters of A Better Plan to fix the POV problems, so it's time for a new chapter.

Much, much gratitude to katekat1010 who made a most excellent movie poster for this fic. You can click on the link below to see it. Isn't it wonderful? This was part of a group she did for spring_with_xan. If you want to check out the others that she made, they're here.

Much, much gratitude also to davinci_1985 who told me exactly how to make the poster appear in my journal, even providing me with the link, because I am severely graphically-challenged.

Now I am very, very happy. Yay!!

( Clues )

I knew it was a mistake for me to post a work in progress. I knew it, and I did it anyway. Not Good.

I was re-reading the posted chapters in preparation for posting the next one, when I realized I had a major screw up. The prolog is told from Buffy's POV, chapter 1 from Riley's. Chapter 2 starts out from Tara's POV and then slips into the omniscient POV, including things that happen while Tara is out of the room. Subsequent chapters bounce back and forth between omniscient POV and others. This sucks.

I like the idea of telling chapters from different points of view -- and I felt that the first two chapters worked best from the POVs of people who -- in this AU -- have no memory of ever meeting Xander. So I will have to do major revisions on the sections written from the omniscient POV.

I want to do this before I post any new chapters, since things may change in the rewrites.

Life is like a journey, taken on a train
With a pair of travelers at each windowpane.
I may sit beside you, all the journal through,
Or I may sit elsewhere, never knowing you.
But if fate should mark me to sit by your side,
Let's be pleasant travelers, it's so short a ride.
