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 understand your objections.
I was merely suggesting that it would be more fair of you, as a critic and writer yourself, to perhaps cut the author "some slack":)
Especially given, as you say, the inherient limitations of a ficathon, your admitted unfamilarity with D.M Evan's work, plus the fact it is clearly a work in progress.

I also appreciate the thoughtful and civil nature of your reply and that you did take up my "gauntlet" to make a constructive suggestion:

"Tobacco Lords (if one must define the man at all) would be more acceptable in the historical context."

I conceed that, though technically it would only be truly valid if one were a member of the titled aristocracy. This was, afterall, the mid 1700's, and the old feudal titles still ment something. This made them a valuable commodity which could be purchased either from a hard-up aristocractic family or by greasing the right palms in court or parliament.
(As demonstrated in the novel and film Barry Lyndon)
