First of all, I have to recommend this fanfic. Set during The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, it’s not Toby that gets possessed by The Beast. It’s Rose. From there, it’s a wonderfully written story of how the Doctor tries to save her—and the battle within, as well. Battle (Cast Out the Shadows Mix)—written by rynne.

Another movie is getting a remake—this time, it’s The Secret of NIMH. It will be in the style of that CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.

How television can be considered a best friend. It took a scientific study for them to realize that people can get really attached to certain characters. And going by the comments, looks like quite a few people had their sanity saved by TNG back in middle or high school.

BBC America will air future episodes of Doctor Who faster from now on, and uncut. At least on the premiere airing.

This post at barrowmanfans has footage of the Torchwood panel at Comic Con.

And now, a meme: the “You Should Write…” Meme. My thread is here.

Just ignore this. It's just my way of trying to remember what author's I should look up through Fanfiction.net, Offpanel, and Livejournal, so I can find the stories I need again.

I'll probably add to this later, as I think of more.

( Cut off here--longer than I thought it would be. )

This list got so long, that I ended up needing an LJ cut--just to spare my Friends List. And I'll be adding more later, too.

If anyone can think of anything to add to this, just let me know. Since Dad reformatted the computer, I more than likely lost all the stories I had saved. Although, if they were posted on LJ, I might have them saved in my LJ Memories section.

I was searching through titans_together for fanfic, and found the most hysterical story. While it is mpreg, it is an extremely creative and funny story.

Title: Mpreurgh
Authors: notpoetry and derryderrydown
Rating: It isn't rated, but I would assume a PG-13 at the most.
Warnings: It's Tim/Bart (Robin III and Impulse), but there wasn't anything graphic.
Summary (from the page itself): "Remember when Bart and I got thrown into that alternate dimension by that super-villain's ray? And the effects weren't reversed for almost two days? We got bored."

Now, for the fic recommendation request. Does anyone know of any good Batman stories where Batman either gets amnesia, regresses to a child, or both?

I am wondering because of a comic I recently read. I have posted the scans at scans_daily, in this entry.

Title: One Long Night
Author: Katherine Fraser

Summary from site: "“He was just crazy!” Xander said, waving his arms around. “Like Chainsaw Massacre insane only without the chainsaw - for which I am profoundly grateful by the way-and I know he’s a vampire and all and down with the grrrr argh, but that was not Spike. That was a crazy animal Taz possessed vampire with appalling hygiene.” Spike trying to eat Buffy despite the chip is only the beginning.

Summary from site: "The First Evil was not defeated, but as time passed it seems it also did not vanquish the Earth. Now, in a post-Apocalyptic world only three Scoobies remain and are following a Slayer's dream to possible salvation."

Title: Never Send Mom and Sis to a Vamp
Author: Meltha
Rating: G
Summary from site: "We never did find out exactly what happened after Buffy left Dawn and Joyce in Spike's crypt, did we? One possibility..."

This is beyond hilarious. Poor Spike is tormented when Dawn is left with him. It's a great story.

Title: Buffy versus the Evil Dead
Author: Demon-Fighter Ash
Rating: PG-13
Summary from site: “When Giles recieves a mysterious phone call from Annie Knowby, Buffy and the gang journey to an old cabin, where they find the dreaded Necronomicon and end up fighting for their lives against the Evil Dead. A Buffy/Evil Dead crossover fic.”

This is a wonderful crossover. The characterization of Spike is perfect, and it’s almost scary what happens to everyone.

Title: To Live Or Die
Author: Epsilon3
Rating: PG-13
Summary from site: “Giles returns to England. Spike joins him later. Mostly written between S5 & S6.”

This story is wonderful, and impossible to stop reading. The characterization is perfect, and the turmoil involved in each decision is extremely well-written. Spike has the toughest choice of all: whether or not to become a different kind of creature. Read the story to see what I mean.

This is a great story. It crosses over with Ghostbusters, and it is just wonderful. I can't really describe it without spoiling everything. I found it at 4 separate sites, so I'll just list all of them. Just in case any of them are ever offline somehow.

Title: Who Ya Gonna Call?
Author: kirasmommy
Rating: R
Relationships: Xander/Spike mostly. At one point, Cordelia and Buffy are possessed and well...guess. Thankfully, not much happens with that even though it is slight a reenactment of the scene with Louis Tully and Dana on the roof in Ghostbusters.
Summary from one of the sites: "Xander goes to stay with his Uncle Peter, in New York."

Site 2
Site 3

Title: Et Lux In Tenebris Lucet
Author: Jerusha Hancock
Rating: PG-13
Summary from site: "Spike saves Dawn, but pays a high price."

I loved this story. It shows a completely different Spike after season 5. The one thing I will say is that it is an alternate reality where Spike was severely injured saving Dawn from the tower in The Gift, and Buffy didn't die.

These are a few more of my favorite stories. I'm also putting them in here just in case my computer loses everything again. This way I know exactly where everything is.


Title: Here is Gone
Author: Terri Botta
Rating: PG
Summary from the website :Spike gets a chance to do a few things over again.

This story is very long, but it is also wonderful.


Title: The Keeper of Truth
Author: Trisha
Rating: R
Summary from website: "As Spike mentions in the episode "After Life," magic always has consequences. In this case, Buffy is resurrected by Willow's magic, but finds herself in the Season 2 Buffyverse instead of Season 6! This story is rich with tension, passion, fear, melancholy, hope, and at least a dozen other poignant emotions. The interactions between Season-6 Buffy and Season-2 Spike are wonderful: full of bickering, hesitant intimacy, and passion. (Romantic drama, with both some angst and some humor)"

Title: All in the Bloodline
Author: Xandra
Rating: It’s not listed, but it’s probably PG-13
Summary from the website: "After Angel finishes redemption in L.A. he and his son, Connor head to New York. They don’t go alone however; they bring the rest of the family with them. Angel desperate for a mother for Connor, reincarnates Darla. Drusilla and her reconciled lover Spike (no soul, but with the chip) come and turn Darla back into a Vampire. She in turn reincarnates the Master, who remained a vampire discovers he can’t leave the spacious flat in Greenwich Village. (They got the “Friends” housing package.) It a fun filled farce dealing focusing on the troubled teen Connor trying make it though his family and high school."

Title: Fur and Fangs
Author: Lucinda
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Spike/Willow, Buffy/Spike
Summary from website: "A new Spike comes to town..."

There are two Spike's in this story. One is from an alternate reality, but isn't a vampire. He's a werewolf. That's all I can say without spoiling this story.

Title: The Lucky Ones
Author: Slade
Rating: R
Summary: Spike, Buffy, and Xander get sent back in time and meet William. It's a different William than the one who was in Fool for Love. It shows how his life was destroyed by Angelus and Drusilla. It is very well-written.

Title: Tracks in Time
Author: Josey
Rating: PG-13
Summary from the website: "Have you ever had the feeling that things are not as they seem? Spoilers for BtVS Season 7, AtS Season 4/5, Angel/Spike"

This is an extremely well-written and hilarious story.

Title: I'm My Own Grandpa
Author: Kantayra
Rating: PG-13
Summary from the website: "Angel explains to Spike the, er...unusual new changes in their family. Buffy and Dawn are amused. Spike is not. A silly ficlet."

It's short, but very funny.

Title: Escape to Survive
Author: Anessa Ramsey
Rating: PG-13
Summary from the website: "AU. Buffy and the gang have been beating up Spike due to a spell. The Fang Gang finds out they intervene. When the spell is broken, Buffy realizes what they have done and admits to feelings for Spike, even though she thinks she's lost him."

OK, after searching endlessly for one of the stories I lost when the computer crashed, I nearly gave up. Yesterday, I posted to the Stranger Things Forum. Surprisingly, they actually found the story. It is called Showtime.

Here is the summary I posted there, so anyone can see if they want to read it.

It takes place in season 2, and the Scooby Gang have to perform in a talent show. During the talent show, Angelus, Spike (who is in a wheelchair), and a bunch of other vampires attack. They attack just as the curtain is raised and everyone has to act like it's part of the show. I remember that the vampires are threatened into singing "Guys and Dolls" and at the end of the night Spike wins the
award for best performance in the show. Also, at one point Drusilla says she found a beautiful striped kitty for Spike to play with. It's really a skunk, which Spike puts in a burlap sack. Angelus steals the sack, opens it later, and gets sprayed.
