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)

I didn't mean to be rude, really. At least you made the effort, the last three ficathons I entered the person writing for me dropped off the planet and never even mentioned the words ficathon in their journals.

And you're right, a little tinkering may not make it my favorite piece ever, but I will give it another look none-the-less. I've archived your stories before and very well may want future stories to put beside them. I have stories of my own that I love and others I hate so I never give up on myself or others simply because of one story. I wish there was a magic way to make my words express what it as that my brain was thinking when I read it the first time, it just doesn't always want to cooperate.

I had a whole thing I started to say here, but I think I'm done, lol. I don't want to spam your LJ anymore with vague things that probably won't explain my vibe very well. I'm sorry.

Trust me, I do understand. LIke I said I didn't think your intent was to be rude (it was more the my friends didn't like it either comment). And like you I don't have the world's greatest success in getting a) a story written for me or b) getting feedback so negative feedback is fine by me, better than NOTHING which so many of us get. (we were just talking about this on a list I belong to). I'm hoping the turn out for my two ficathons goes better.

I'm okay with you not liking the story, really. There are things we read by our favorite authors out there and we sit and wonder what was that? And yeah, guess that's all that really needs to be said.
