Mandi's Fanfic Status
Last update: October 30, 2002

Okay, I've renamed this page to make sense. Herein lies the status of my fics, organized by priority. Just so you know how behind and how truly insane I am. Please understand my frustration. :)


Status of Unfinished Fics

Title
Description/General Idea
Status
The Key and the Sword
He-Man 2002/BtVS. A magical accident brings Dawn to Eternia, and Buffy and Giles follow... but her arrival is not as accidental as it seems. Currently posting this like crazy on ff.net right now; I'm humoring the creativity demons in the hopes they'll help with "Sharp Edges" once I finish this.
Sharp Edges
BtVS/Witchblade. Post-"The Gift," Dawn runs away, and Spike tracks her to New York City. Spike meets Sara. Spike makes fun of everyone in the Witchblade-verse but Sara. Dawn gets a crush on Gabriel. Wackiness and bloodshed (of course) ensue. Hand pain, writer's block, and general irritation have stymied new additions to this one. Not being able to FTP from work doesn't help either.
Full Fathom Five
Special Case #2. Jason seeks asylum on Aquitar, but trouble follows. Surprisingly enough, I might be able to tackle the rewrite on this one once my hand heals.
Vacation
PRLG, sort of. The Mike/Kim fic I promised Cynthia. Headed for the Dust Bin. I just can't finish it.
Mona Lisa
(tentative title)
Now and Again/Tomorrow People. Lisa Davis takes a trip to Manhattan in search of a father she thought long-dead: Dr. Theodore Morris. Finding him is one thing, but what to do when she does is another... especially when she gets in the middle of Michael and Theo's latest case. Idea mode. Lisa's irritating me, but of the Tomorrow People she was the best choice. I need to nail down what Michael and Theo's case is before I do anything.
So This Is Christmas
Bloodlines #5. (Maybe just Bloodlines #4, now.) Mike deals with Christmas in Sunnydale, the Rangers deal with Christmas without Mike, a snowball fight erupts and a spirit returns. Moving better than "Witch Hunt," so it's getting written first. However, I just stopped writing it and have yanked it back for a rewrite: Buffy repeats on FX have made me decide that a certain character who was going to be introduced is not going to appear after all. There's also the problem of the Mike/Maya pairing; PRLG repeats on ABC Family reminded me that Maya was such a flake sometimes. If I keep this pairing, I'm rewriting her character.
Witch Hunt
Bloodlines #4. One of Damon's fellow technicians is framed for a series of murders on TerraV... but she, and the murders, are not entirely what they seem to be. Entirely in the PRLG-verse, but it does tie in. In the scrap heap, since the character it revolves around is no longer going to appear in "Bloodlines." I might throw the old draft and outline into the Dust Bin to show what I did have.
Time Flies
PRLG. The Galaxy Rangers are accidentally flung forty years into the future, and their only hope of getting home is a smuggler named Lilith and a GSA intelligence officer named Hawk, who knows more about them than he lets on. Dumped "Honor Among Thieves" in favor of this fic since I like the plot better. It's only halfway outlined. Not dead because the idea behind it is just FUN. And I really like Lilith.


Random Fanfic Ideas
(that may or may not see the light of day)

"Vampire Killers," "Gates of the Mind," "Go West," and "Honor Among Thieves" are officially dead. "Asking for Directions" has been dropped. Maybe I'll write it as a short.

Witchblade/Highlander: Sara goes to visit her dad's old pal Joe Dawson. Ian follows. Duncan mistakes Sara for Elizabeth Bronte, who he knew back in WWII. Methos must appear once to make fun of Ian before the two of them kick some ass. I love this idea, but I know very little about HL so I can't write it! I've got one bite, but I'm keeping it up here for the heck of it.

"Train Ride" - Now and Again. It's Michael and Theo's turn to be the innocent bystanders as they decide to take a quiet train ride home... but Heather and Gretchen are also on that train pursued by a couple of pissed-off thieves. I like the idea of Heather somehow saving Michael and Theo.


That's all she wrote, folks...
