Crossover Fic

Nov 28, 2006 12:44

This is the first bit of fic I've had a chance to write since, well, forever.

It's a Buffy/OC crossover set at the end of Season 3. of both shows, I know that doesn't work out year-wise but I wanted the timelines to match up.

Thanks a bundle to IP for beta-ing it for me. Please feel free to let me know what you think.

When I saw this was a cross-over, I almost didn't read it. That would have been a mistake.

This was very well-written, with each of the characters 'in character'. I didn't watch all of "Buffy", but I saw enough of it to appreciate the lovely job you did with each of the characters here. Your Ryan and Seth are well-drawn.

Ryan and Buffy? It could work -- it certainly does here. They each need someone strong, and prepared to deal with a lot of scars. Someone who doesn't scare easily, physically or psychologically.

Brilliant. Great use of language throughout. I hope you're not finished...

Thank you! inveigler November 30 2006, 08:55:36 UTC

I'm so glad you did read it, and what's more, liked it!

I'm really happy I did Ryan & Seth some justice as I was worried it was almost too heavy on the Buffy side (which I've generally written more of).

I just liked the idea of the pairing and the fact that they wouldn't really judge one another.

I hadn't thought too much about writing more of it but I'm now much encouraged.

That was really good. I really enjoyed that. I hope you continue.

You should post a pointer to this in the theoc_fiction community so more people know about it (that would probably be more appropriate than the theoc_recs community).

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked it too, I'm so happy OC fans are liking it due to the heavy Buffy slant.

Thanks for the tip too, I think I managed to post it in several wrong places and then kinda gave up as I didn't want to be blowing my own trumpet all over the place.

The more times I read this, the more I like it. You should definitely continue! (fyi, I friended you so I know right away if you post something, I hope you don't mind.)

Re: enjoyed inveigler December 1 2006, 09:06:02 UTC

Wow, reading it multiple times even, now I'm even happier.

Course I don't mind you friending me, might be a little bit before my lazy self churns out some more but what with all these lovely comments I should really get on with it.

My knowledge of the land of Buffy is zilch, but since you mentioned Ryan in the teaser, I had to give it a read and I'm so glad I did ( ... )

Thanks! inveigler November 30 2006, 09:02:50 UTC

Wow, you sum him up so eloquently, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Yet again I'm really pleased that Ryan being a focus for the story helps carry it through even if you're not into Buffy.

I hadn't thought much of doing more but I may do now. I sortof write odd pieces that take my fancy or that I get requested to write by friends, had a Firefly one in mind but that's still on the shelf at present.

Someone else said that about the rhythym thing which is really nice, thanks again.

Re: Thanks! beachtree November 30 2006, 19:57:36 UTC

Um, thanks? Since I've never seen an episode of "Buffy," I'm all about the Ryan and you did capture his character very well, especially that complex coiled quality that's just beneath the surface and impacts his entire demeanor and overshadows all of his reactions. Everything is measured, calculated and controlled with that sense intact even when he does explode.

I know you let the muses do the talking, but if the voices dictate, I would love to see where this leads.

Again great job with the voice, pace and creating and nurturing a very engaging dynamic.

please tell me theres a part 2...that was so good and not overly angsty which was pretty awesome...everyone was so perfectly in character and im glad that ryan and seth just managed to click back together...

Thanks! inveigler November 30 2006, 09:04:57 UTC

No part 2 as of yet but I'm feeling very buoyed up with praise to write one now.

Warm and fuzzies all round - well pleased.

Wonderful story. I'm usually not that big of a fan of crossovers, but since I used to watch Buffy, I recognized a lot of stuff. Also, it has Ryan in it. Which is a very, very big plus.

I really like your Ryan, and I'm hoping you will continue with this.

Thank you inveigler December 1 2006, 09:08:03 UTC

I'm not much of a one for crossovers either but it just felt like one that kinda fit together a bit better than some of the more outlandish ones.

I'm quite the Ryan fan also, I'm glad I did him justice. Very glad you liked it.
