Halloween reading

[selenak]

Yours truly, making money in strange places, is again confined to the computer of a business center in a hotel. Nothing to do with the health of the kidnapped laptop, though. It works just fine, only the hotel room doesn't have analog connections. Ah well.

I love the lifejournal world. Look at my new icon for a reason why. That was fast and great work by hobsonphile, wasn't it?

Also: monkeycrackmary wrote a wonderful Halloween story. A triple crossover - Ultraviolet, Buffy and Pirates of the Caribean. Now crossovers are tricky to do as a rule. Crossovers between three canons that are not that easily to reconcile? Even more difficult. I'm in awe. As someone who loves the character of Dawn very much (my second favourite BTVS character - my favourite would be Buffy herself), I'm also thrilled to find her as a main character and well-characterized. The story, complete with short and witty introduction to the three fandoms, is located here:

That's a terrific story. I'm surprised that no-one has thought to put Buffy and Ultraviolet together before because it really worked here. Grown-up Dawn was nice too. Thanks for the rec.

Love the icon *g*.

Glad you liked both...

...story and icon. All praises are due to the talented creators, of course.

I think the problem with putting Buffy and Ultraviolet together is that there are a number of obvious inconsistencies (for example, Ultraviolet vampires can't use phone - except with a computer-generated voice - and can't be filmed). But with some imagination and talent, you can work around that.
