I wrote the following ficlet in the bus today. Inspired by one of the remixthedrabble drabbles, the idea wouldn't let me go, even though I'm not sure whether it works or not.

Title: (untitled)
Universe: Buffy (mostly)
Notes: Reference to a supporting character from a single Doctor Who adventure.
Words: 270

( She had been a child when they left )

---

So, does the idea work? Is it too obscure? Too confusing? Too silly? And what should the title be?

I try to avoid reading works-in-progress, because it's so frustrating waiting until they are finished. But in spite of that, I have been sucked in to reading them every now and then, and I keep on accumulating them. So I thought I'd share my frustration (and who, knows, encourage some authors) by giving my current list of works-in-progress that I have started reading and wish the author would update and finish soon.
( mostly Harry Potter and Doctor Who )

My Big Table: here
( fake cut to story )

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been trying and failing at podfic this weekend. I tried for the second time today, and only succeeded in corrupting the file when I tried to convert it to MP3 format. So I tried for a third time, this time with a different story. So here we have Doesn't Look Like A Hell Dimension as read by Yours Truly, stumbles and croaky sore-throated voice and all. (collapses)

Title: Doesn't Look Like A Hell Dimension
Universe: Buffy/Doctor Who
Characters: Buffy, Tenth Doctor
Words: 1900
Summary: If you fall through a dimensional portal, do you expect to end up in the time-travelling ship of an alien? Buffy didn't.
(AU from end of "The Gift" for Buffy, also AU from the end of "Doomsday" for Doctor Who)

This started as a series of drabbles done for the 2008 tthdrabbles Mod Birthday challenge. People suggested I expand them into a proper story, so here it is.

( fake cut to story )

Just re-watched the last few episodes of Season 5 of Buffy (for research purposes). It made me cry all over again.

More Buffy crossovers for tthdrabbles... I've been bitten by a Doctor Who/Buffy bug.
(1) Doesn't Look Like A Hell Dimension (Buffy/Doctor Who) (200w)
Buffy falls somewhere unexpected (AU from "The Gift")
(2) Who? (Buffy/Doctor Who) by Kathryn Andersen (200w)
Who is this guy?
(3) What's in a Name? (Buffy/Doctor Who) by Kathryn Andersen (100w)
Turnabout is fair play.

ETA These now point to the tthdrabbles posts, because I'm taking these down from my site... because I want to re-use the title of the first one for a longer story (yeah, I listened to your pleas).

More drabbles from my tthdrabbles writing, though they're actually double-drabbles.

• Brightening (Buffy/Doctor Who) (200w)
  Sunrise is her favourite time of day.
• Bother 1 (Buffy/Labyrinth) (200w)
  Just a little babysitting, no bother at all. Yeah, right.
• Bother 2 (Buffy/Labyrinth) (200w)
  Bobby is bothering someone else.

Quick question for you folk: working as I am on drabbles for tthdrabbles, I have a story idea, but I am missing some essential facts. To be precise, I need a scenario where one of the main characters (probably Buffy, Dawn, Xander or Anya) is babysitting an actual baby -- but I can't think of any suitable babies. Or toddlers. I suppose I could make one up, but it would make more sense if it was someone connected with the main characters.
