... I won't do anything to you, except maybe beg.
So, I wrote a response to a challenge on Of Demons & Destiny (great Gilesean site, btw, should you wanna know)... anyway, so the challenge is this: Willow and Xander are turned into little kids and it is the responsibility of our favorite chosen duo to watch over them until the little tykes can be returned to normal. It is a Buffy/Giles pairing, but I have kept it pretty light. According to Fanfic.net's guidelines, it is a K+ rating, and that's only 'cause there's a kiss and little nakkie toddlers running amok for a few minutes.
Here's the link to the story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4195871/1/Family_Fun
And I've already received a review!!!! So, read on:
The following review has been submitted to: Family Fun Chapter: 6Yeah, that whole page break thing was totally fanfic.net's fault. I went in and corrected my chapters, so it should be an easier read now. If you're interested in reading my take on this particular story idea, and you're at all familiar with the characters of BtVS, I encourage you to READ my story. I'd love a review! Tell me if I'm okay at this writing gig or if I suck the big one.

Aww. That was cute. I usually don't see Buffy and Giles as being viable 'ship material, but in this case you pulled it off really well. There was just the right amounts of humor vs. sorrow - the "are you my new mommy" question and subsequent "raging self-pity" were extremely believable (and heart-tugging).
The only real criticism I have is a technical one - some way of demarcating page breaks would have been nice. Aside from that, though, it was a nice read.
It's okay.
I can take it.
Really.
Because I go out so rarely, I thought I'd post a little account of my Saturday evening. It started around 3:30 in the afternoon - my sister called wanting to know pricing for a few different things in Orlando (which is just a little ways away from us). She invited Sarel and I, but Sarel didn't want to go. He needed to work.
So I arranged to meet my sister at her apartment by 5:30 and we were out of there by 6:15. We made it to I-drive by 7:30, and after a few u-turns, made it to the side of town we were looking for.
We decided to eat at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, which was right next-door to our final destination: Pirate's Cove Putt-putt Golf Course. Cafe Tu Tu Tango is an amazing little restaurant. Click here to see their website. And while we were there, three local artists were painting and selling prints. I actually purchased one - it's a bad-ass looking tree titled Methuselah - from one of them. He was my favorite of the three. His name was Jason Sipple (of Orlando), and you can find his website here. He does commissioned portraitures of people and pets, but that's not the only thing he does. (His website takes a little while to load, but it's worth it to see thumbnails of his work... go check it out when you have some time, or if you're in the area, visit in at Tu Tu's)
We went mini-golfing and had a blast. Tabby (my sister's fiance) nearly took a guy's head off after she hit her ball too hard. Later, we found out that the ball went down the hill, bounced across the parking lot and glanced off the side of a little red car. She cried for two holes after we found that out... poor Tabby. She's too tender-hearted for her own good. We got ice cream and Sara and I decided we'd take Tabby to Ripley's Believe it or Not museum to cheer her up.
We got to Ripley's around 11:30pm. They close at 1 am (thank goodness). My favorite memory of that was right at the beginning - there was a preserved, five-foot long sperm whale "dork" hung up on the wall. I pointed it out to both of the girls and laughed my ass off at their disgusted reactions. The "ewwww"s were treasured greatly.
All in all we had a great time. We hit Denny's when we got back to our neck of the woods. Boy... you see and meet some interesting people at Denny's at 2am. But that's another story for another time.
