Angel Ficathon

[cornerofmadness]

Well this is the original deadline for the Antijoss's  Angel ficathon. I think it might be pushed back a week but theantijoss  said the masterlist would be up sometime today for those of us who got it done for the original date (which suited me better given my schedule. I wrote for itsabigrock  who wanted the following:

Pairing: Angelus/Darla (Angel/Spike is always fine too)

Genre You Prefer: I like Dark, Evil, well researched, Plot Driven, Smut is good, slash is good.

Requests: Any time before the soul, I have a carriage kink, lol.

Restrictions: No bashing of Drusilla, if you can't write her don't write her, just don't make her out to be an idiot, no babytalk, they're evil.

No problem. I do love writing historical fic though I'm not as good with Angelus as I am with Spike/Dru (as much as I adore Angelus I find him difficult to write, much more difficult than Spike for some reason).  I'm pretty happy with this story. It'll probably get more polishing before it hits my website so suggestions are welcome. It IS NC-17 (evil vampires here, rape, murder and mayhem are part and parcel). It's nearly 11,000 words long (sigh)

So without further ado here's Dance With the Devil in the Pale Moonlight (extra points to those who know which movie/character I stole the title from)

Oh forgot to mention, I hope you feel better. I wrote this in the middle of a 12 day migraine so I know how crappy that can make you feel (couple that with 96 degree temperatures and no a/c, shudder)

It's a little better, I just needed some sushi and an Angel episode, lol.

Thanks for being understanding about the feedback issue! We all have different styles and sometimes it's hard to get into something that comes from a style so dissimilar to mine. Sometimes the historical detail just gets in the way. I was talking a bit about this with another writer because she had a hard time getting past the first chapter as well, and I think that some of the backstory details pulled us out of the moment. That and giving Liam a last name, I'm a canon spaz and that just jarred me right the heck out of there, it wasn't necessary to the story so all it did was make me go argh.

I'll stop trying to help now, lol.

No problem. I usually am too a stickler for canon but it's always bothered me he didn't have a last name. Given his history, he'd almost have to be one of the 14 tribes and I thought it fit in.

Yeah there's always two camps, those who want minimal detail and those who think I haven't done enough with this in that aspect. The latter are being louder.
