I clearly wanted to explore the dark emotions in the characters.
How good it is, I don't know. People seemed to prefer my meta to my fanfic, but I don't write romantic fanfic or sex scenes, really. So that may have been part of it? (shrugs)
It was a long time ago, and my writing style has changed a little since then. Also, the Buffy characters no longer speak in my head, no longer obsessed. Sometimes I wonder why I was.
There's more, but you have to hunt for them on your own. The tages are buffy, btvs essay, buffy s8, spike...
Unfortunately the posts I did with links, only link to my lj, which is long gone. I deleted it and can't get it back. And trying to reset up the links will drive me crazy. I'm a good writer, just bad at indexing or organizing information -- it's not how I think. Almost need someone to organize it for me.

Oh and I found my fanfiction, not sure it's that good, few people seemed to read it. But I also didn't have any betas.
* Miss Edith's Revenge -- very dark. Hence the reason people were put off by it. I killed Xander, Dawn, and Giles.
Chapter III and I stopped there due to writer's block
No apparently not, I stopped here.
