Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and Happy Yay Those Irritating Separatists Have Left Day to my English friends and if you're neither American nor English, Happy Thursday!

Now, onto the "fandom iz srs bizness" portion of this entry...

I have an idea for another fic. It's been done before, but I want to try it anyways. What can I say? I'm not original, but I am persistent. My idea, which started writing itself in my head last night while I was trying not to think of all the things that could go wrong with dinner today (I'm helping cook a turkey dinner with all the trimmings for over 30 soldiers...there were a lot of disasters to cover) was to do the old "What if Spike got a soul instead of Angel" plotline, complete with Spandery goodness, because I think if I tried to write Spuffy my head would implode.  So, my question to the six of you that read this journal on a regular basis is:

Should I wait until I finish MoS and Ashes, thus possibly losing the thread of this story and never actually writing it OR go ahead and write it, attempting to divide my creative brain between three stories and possibly screwing them all up?

I'm a terrible judge since I barely have time to write anything at all and they're almost never WIPs (or else I'd never finish!), but if you have an idea humping your leg like a horny puppy, try to get as much down as possile. Even if it's an outline, a particular scene, some dialogue, etc. it's good to start writing because you will forget. I would suggest alternating on story lines, especially if you hit a rut on one.

I would hold your hand any time you wanted to try and write Spuffy =)

You know, that last line just sounds dirty...of course, I did spend my day with thirty infantry boys. Right now, everything sounds dirty... :P

I might write some Spuffy just for you...but honestly, I don't know if I can do it without turning it into a disaster fic. I just can't see Spike/Buffy going anywhere good...
