trying something new

[cornerofmadness]

Never made a poll before. I have this outline for a series of dark Post NFA stories set in a world where good did not defeat evil and Angel's last stand was a failure. Demons are everywhere. The Norms know about them and the war goes on. I'm looking for the series umbrella title and wanted something more original than Apocalypse Now. I have one title I'm leaning towards but thought I'd get some input

[Poll #548975]

I say you'll go with the one that nobody picks. lol.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's one way of doing it

[lynnluvsjamey.livejournal.com]

yup, which is probably what you'll do.

I'm leaning to the fifth sun but I was even before the poll

[lynnluvsjamey.livejournal.com]

How's it doing on the poll?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

#1

Really? wow cool.

"Existential Scoobies Angel the Series Season 6 (http://www.atpobtvs.com/existentialscoobies/fictionary/season_6/)"

But seriously, I guess it depends on whether it really is the "End" of times/days, or just a really bad patch.

; )

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Snort. Yeah one of these days I have to get back to THIS series too.

Truthfully it's a really bad patch. That's rather why I liked the idea of The Fifth Sun, yes the world is going to be destroyed but it will be reborn as well.

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, we got seriously stalled out for three months, so we're a little behind getting new eps out.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

stalled out and I still can't catch up. sigh

Darkest Dawn

Never-Ending Night

Twilight World

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Even if I don't use these as the umbrella I could see them as titles to the individual stories (I think Twilight World might be the name of a B/A series actually. I know Jenn wrote Twilight something or other)

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

Is it going to be like a series of interlinking stories then?

Interesting.

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes, with various pov's.

and oddly my first response to this multipled by 61 times before I pulled the modem (the computer had been acting funny since I powered up this morning) but none of them posted here (if your inbox got flooded sorry). and trying to ctrl - alt - del them ended up wtih 20 window task manager boxes up at once. WTF?

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

Sounds very intriguing.

And I only got the one.

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank goodness. I must have pulled the modem before the deluge.

Hopefully it'll be intriguing. It'll be slow in coming (well not story #1. It's supposed to be done by next week)

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

Look forward to it.

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cool. The first one is Angel's pov. Writing it for the lyric wheel challenge and it's due on the 19th.

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

The Lyric wheel thing? Is that a, spits out a foul taste, song fic thing?

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hell no. You get a set of lyrics and have to use a line in the dialog

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

Phew.

I thought you'd gone over to Satan's team...

Re: Try

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Actually I've written some song fic. It tends to be very well received. Though I don't do it the way most song fic is done (in other words there's an actual plot)

Re: Try

[keith5by5.livejournal.com]

That's what I don't like, no plot. It's just two chars verbalising their thoughts\feelings while staring wistfully at one another. Gah.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I voted for something else, but if the Aztec mythology plays a part, go with that.

If Buffy is dead that might be too much for me to handle. I'm very protective of her for some reason.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

BUffy's not dead but she is targetted for death.

Aztec myth plays no real part other than we are in the fifth sun now and in fact the world should end on my mom's birthday six years from now

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm curious since you voted for something else, what something else would you like

[bashipforever.livejournal.com]

I really like The Fifth Sun because it's something different from an apocalypse related fic.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's why I'm leaning toward it as well. Twilight of the Gods was in the running but I forgot it in the poll. Probably no one would have voted for Gotterdammerung any how
