there MUST be fanfic of this; tell me there is fanfic of this!

Last summer myself and a bunch of friends passed around some DVDs and books, because there are some fannish things where we have an overwhelming urge to share. (We're all still working our way through stuff. Shhh, we're slow.) For my part, I'm making sure they're familiar with Firefly, Dollhouse, and Neil Gaiman amongst other wonderful. Anyway, one of my friends lent me the full seven seasons of Buffy. I've never seen them all, and not in order. (My mum thought a series about horrible things like vampires and demons would scare me to death as a kid. She was probably right. But I still told her, "But Mum it's really about feminism!")

So last night I couldn't sleep and decided to make inroads. I have now finally finished Season One and started Season Two! (Shhh, slow remember? And in my defence this was far from the only thing I was leant.)

The point of this post: the ending of Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight leapt onto my list of reasons why I love Joss Whedon. A teenage girl turned invisible because that's what people perceived her as gets to join a super secret high school/training facility for invisible kids to become spies and assassins?! Made of win, Whedon, made of win. And since this was aired ages and ages ago SOMEONE TELL ME THERE IS FANFICTION OF THIS.

Yay! I always love to see someone watching Buffy for the first time!
Season two was great... and it's gonna get even better! So many terrific storylines coming up. Buffy (and Angel) are my very favorite shows of all time.

I can't think of specific fic for this ep... though there was so much overall, chances are good.

When you're in the mood for Buffy fic, I can pimp the recs archive of BetterBuffyFics. There are only 500 stories but it's all labeled and searchable, so if you're looking for something specific you might find it.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind was, perhaps, one of my all time favorite episodes! The mere fact that he turns something "bad" on it's head and it turns out being the thing that makes the girl special in the end. I love that!

If there is fanfic, it's most likely on those early Buffy fansites. I don't know of many from that early era that have moved their stuff over to AO3 or ff.net but I could be wrong.

It is a pretty cool concept that could be run with pretty far!

It brings to mind a whole scenerio where someone says "we have to train up this next group of super heroes right" with a fist slamming on a table after Tony royally screws up. It seems like something Kate would be involved in.

That is an awesome idea (re: fostering)! I think that would have totally made a difference! It would change the dynamics of him.

I think I will run with my idea. You run with yours (I have my enabling grin out, as well) and we'll meet in the middle.

Still contemplating the Commas By Debate AU and trying to figure out a purpose for it. It has nothing to do with these ideas but I thought if it as thinking of these.

Oh, yes yes! I don't want you to feel beholden AT ALL. No icky feelings where writing is concerned! I'm dealing with enough of that from other venues as it is. Go and create as the muses see fit!

I think Commas by Debate may be my excuse to write smaller interconnected stories. I always like having that sort of idea running around so that I can write it for challenges and stuff and it's not a huge long story but a bunch of connected stories that can be read separately or together.

The one picture I have of them in my head is at practice and Tony is bossing them all around about something. Clint and Natasha are rolling their eyes at each other. Steve is over in the corner, lost in some music or lyrics or something. They're all just very cosy with each other, even if they want to hang Tony from the clocktower in the middle of the commons.

And I came super late to the fandom, myself. I only started watching Buffy after Firefly came and went. Surprisingly enough, that was the fandom (although it was more of a Joss Whedon fandom than a Buffy fandom) I was a part of about 4 years ago when I came back to fandom. You'd be amazed where you'll find packets of fans that are still excited about fanfic.
