Really, the last, last question!

This paper has to be done tomorrow, so eventually I'll shut up.

Any fics that use internet forms like blogging and twitter and IMing and the like? You know, like Dawn now has a blog sort of thing? I'm trying to find examples of innovative forms.

Eyes Only is a collaborative project (post-S6, Giles/Anya, Spuffy, Wes/Lilah) with a portion written as LJ entries with comments - see the "Watching Over" section in the index.

Thanks, I was looking for something like that!

Tea and Biscuits is a very long poly slash fic (Spike, Giles, Angel, Wesley, and eventually Ethan) which has substantial stretches of email format. It was written by Byrne, Wesleysgirl, and Magpie and is a weekend's read.

Julia, very NC-17

Oh, I love that one. :)

Someone beat me to the Eyes Only punch!

I know I've seen a few IM fics; but honestly they weren't very memorable. At least not the ones I've seen.

You'll post the article when you finish it, right? I'd love to read it!

At this point, it's three times longer than it ought to be, so I might have to trim it just a bit.

Who Needs Five Gold Rings by slaymesoftly includes Ebay and messaging. http://www.spuffystuff.org/fivegoldrings.html

That's good. You know, I can't help but notice that what is ever-present in most of our lives, the internet, barely gets mentioned in most entertainment. Yeah, Jack Bauer has a hi-tech cell phone, but does he have an email account?

It sort of seems implausible, but then, I guess if these characters spent so much time online, they'd never do anything worth putting on a TV show.

I have one where Dawn uses eBay to get into a bidding war for Spike's ring http://spuffystuff.org/fivegoldrings.html
I know I've read some fics where Spike and Buffy begin an on-line relationship of some sort, but couldn't begin to tell you titles or authors. I'm sure Andrew has a blog by now...lol

[anaross]

Ooh, that's good.

I remember an AH where Buffy and Spike met online... I think they were college students, and he helped her write a paper over IM, and then he turned out to be her TA or something and realized it was her when he read the paper? Totally blanking on the title and author, though.
