My friend Ray wrote an awesome Buffy the Vampire Slayer story in honor of my birthday -- all about firefighting, and loss:

Some of my newer friends might not know that I used to write fanfiction regularly under the username ozma914, and I'm happy to say it led to over a dozen fanfic writing awards. I've been busy with original fiction, but I miss the stress-relieving fun of working hard on a story I don't have to worry about getting published (because that would be illegal, ya' know).
One of the great fanfiction traditions is crossovers, so to mark the publication of Storm Chaser Shorts I crossed my most common fandom, Buffy the Vampire Slayer , with a character from my own original universe. It's also kind of a crossover with two other fandoms, since once character appeared only in an episode of Angel, and there's mention of another TV show that will be fun for those who watch it.
I had a blast writing this, so if you like the idea of throwing my Storm Chaser characters into other universes ... I'm open to suggestions!
A/N: This story is set in my post-“Chosen” universe in which the Buffybot and Tara have both been brought back to life – more or less – through magical means. Some of the same magic restored a semblance of sanity to the imbalanced slayer Dana, from the Angel episode “Damages”. Kara Philips is an original character who's been around since my very first fanfic, and those four appear in a series of stories called "Four Friends". This tale, which takes place before the events of Storm Chaser or Storm Chaser Shorts, first appeared last week on fanfiction.net at http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8353053/1/License_and_Registration_Please
Title: License and Registration, Please
Author: Mark R Hunter (ozma914)
Characters: Buffybot, Tara, Dana, Officer Chance Hamlin of Storm Chaser, OC slayer Kara
Rated: PG
Warnings: A little silliness.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Joss and co, except for the ones who belong to me.

It's been awhile since I had time to write fanfiction, but I've received an award nomination for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic I wrote earlier. She Would be Thirteen is a Xander-centric story, set about a year after the end of the TV series, and you can find it here:

Thanks so much to whoever nominated me in the "That Old Gang Of Mine" category, over at the Wicked Awards! On their LiveJournal site you can read lots of other excellent stories, in various fandoms, that were also nominated:

It's been a busy month and it's getting busier, so I almost missed this: I won a fanfic writing award for my Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic, "She Would Be Thirteen":

Yay, and thanks! "She Would be Thirteen" has already won other writing awards; I get the feeling people like it. Meanwhile, SAD has started hitting me, so the pick-me-up was very appreciated. The award site is here:

I just got a new review for my fanfiction story "Simple Inhumanity":
"Hey I’m Somali although I was born in Canada
I take offensive to Somali Pirates thing, they have no choice in addition to the fact that I know that they never hurt any of the captives and they are dying of starvation and gang wars started to develop, not to mention that First World Countries such as the USA are polluting Somali waters."
There was no link for a comment back.
Fair enough: opposing point of view, although I don't think much of someone who's eager to make such a statement without being willing to identify themselves. My response? Yeah -- no. Not buyin' in. It can be a bad world, and horrible things are happening, and I've always maintained that we should help where we can. That doesn't excuse anyone from attacking a ship and holding other people at gunpoint, regardless of their desperation. I'm curious to know how much the average Somali gang is doing to help their community, bring democracy to their country, fix their nation's problems, or feed anyone unless they're either a paying customer or a part of the gang itself.
The story is here, for anyone who's interested in whether I handled the idea fairly:
