Words in the Heroes' Tongue

Last year I began a ‘Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog’ fic and posted two chapters before getting distracted by other projects. During the past two weeks, as I’ve been off work, I’ve been revisiting old projects and continuing several including that one. Here, ten months after the last time I posted a chapter, is the third part of ‘Just For One Day’; in which an experiment gone wrong pushes the Evil League of Evil into acting in an uncharacteristically heroic fashion. Contains slight crossover elements from ‘Primeval’ but nothing that requires knowledge of ‘Primeval’ to follow. Obviously you will need refreshers after such a long gap; the previous parts are HERE. 2,000 words, PG.

I haven’t posted recently, with the exception of a rushed post of the most recent ‘Tabula Avatar’ chapter as I was about to dash off to work on Sunday, and so I’ve missed a lot of birthdays. Belated greetings to draconin, flame81, spikeshunny, sunnyd_lite, akadougal, scarlettgirl, kimbyann, ayinhara, and shallanelprin. And, actually in time, Feliz Natividad to fangfaceandrea.

Those of you who also read curiouswombat’s LJ will be aware that I’ve hurt my back; sciatica, we believe. I’ve been in a lot of pain for the past few days. It’s gradually easing off, and I can more or less function now, but putting on my socks is a laborious and painful process. I have managed to squeeze in a little writing in the time between work and sleep. I’ve been continuing the ‘Dr. Horrible’ fic that I started last week. I wrote a scene that was intended to be the first half of the next chapter; however when I opened it up today to do a little more I looked at the word count and realised that it was precisely 1,000 words. I’m taking that as a sign and posting it today; then I’ll carry straight on with ‘Tabula Avatar’ in my time off work. Part One was here.

Happy birthday to calturner, frenchani, and zanthinegirl
I have committed more ‘Dr. Horrible’ fic. This is Part One of what should be a three-part story; it would be short enough to do as a single item but I’ve reached a natural break point and so I’ll stop now to return to ‘Tabula Avatar’. I’ll finish it off after I complete TA Chapter 60.

Spoilers for the whole of ‘Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog’. Slight crossover (creature only) with ‘Primeval’. Rating PG so far, but the story outline calls for a lot of violence in the next parts that will probably push it into R territory. Inspired by a comment that beer_good_foamy made on horrible_fic. Summary; the Evil League of Evil face a situation that pushes them into acting in an uncharacteristic fashion.

Today is writerconuk’s birthday. There isn’t much point in wishing happy birthday to a community; instead I’ll remind those not already going that the MidiMeet 2008 is 15th-17th August in Reading, UK, and there are plenty of places left. It’s not just for the Buffy fandom, or even just for writers, and last year’s was a lot of fun. Come and join us!

Here is my first Dr. Horrible fic; crossover with Buffy Season 8, spoilers for Issue 16, very slight spoilers for Dr. Horrible Act III. Not to be taken seriously. 250 words, rating – I’m not sure. R, I suppose. In the same reality as the 'Giant Dawn Dating' series The Secret Diary of Dawn Summers (Height 16 ¾ metres) .
