Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] violetbloom pointing me towards "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban in 15 Minutes," I am now watching [livejournal.com profile] m15m religiously. So funny.

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] honorh started up the "Key and the Sword" creativity demons again with this intriguing connection between Illyria and the Key. But before you get all excited, let me provide a sample of the illogic:


(italics = them)
(bold me)

Wait! That's it! It was Illyria!

What are you babbling about?

Illyria could have made the Key! Remember when Death was going on about who made the Key and the Compass and that we had to explain where everything came from?

Yes, although that was a year and a half ago. I still recall the screams of "Strike!" that elicited.

So, what do you think?

Wait, you want to tie ILLYRIA into "The Key and the Sword?"

Yeah, wouldn't it be cool?

And we wouldn't have to make someone up to be behind the Compass, and you always say it's better to stay with canon characters...

Guys, I wanted to UNcomplicate this story, now you want to throw in aspects from "Angel" as well?

What's wrong with that?

First off, Illyria? Not the type to bother with something like the Compass. She wouldn't need it. Second off, guys, "The Key and the Sword" is set in early season 7 of Buffy - and therefore, early season 4 of Angel! Illyria hasn't come into play yet!

Maybe she could have, maybe we just didn't see it.

She was in a sarcophagus in a well that went through the Earth, and once she was taken out, I don't think they'd have been able to just put her back without Drogyn noticing!

Well, okay...

Let's not forget that if she got pulled into someone, putting her back would involve her ripping through everyone in between the well and the sarcophagus, and then there'd be the problem of the bodies and Drogyn not noticing that something was up. You see what I'm saying? The connection itself is intriguing, but involving it heavily in this story makes zero sense.

...

But it'd be cool!

Gah. I'm going to bed.


*thunk*

Sorry if I got you in trouble with your muses. They sound . . . a great deal like mine.

Me: A HP/AtS post-series crossover wouldn't work because the time periods don't match up. I can wank out the differences in magic, I can even ask my readers to ignore the HP refs on AtS, but the time difference just won't work.

Muses: But it'd be cool!

Glad you liked it. I knew you would. I was laughing so hard that I had to explain to my co-workers... I read one of them "Hannibal in 15" also. HILARIOUS. I love Cleolinda. She is my time of sarcastic movie viewer.

I'm just reeling in shock from the thought of Connor and Dawn dating - imagine if they had a child - it would be the most annoying being the universe has ever known!!!! LOL

you never know...

If the child of a crazy Marine who likes randomly wrestling her friends and a big, smartass counselor who constantly runs his mouth asking for trouble and drives his friends crazy can be the most accommodating, cheerful and non-demanding kid I've ever met... the kid could end up being fairly normal and going, "My parents are on crack."

To be honest, Connor and Dawn have respectively grown on me - Dawn grew up a LOT since season 5, and when Connor got his memories back and was actually cool with it and came to back up Angel in the finale, I was sitting there going, "All right already, Joss, I've finally forgiven him. Point made."

Well, yeah. I was never really totally annoyed by Dawn - well, except for "Get out. Get out! GET OUT!!!"

I hated Connor until they brought him back in the last season. Pity it took them that long to finally make him interesting, and then the show was cancelled. :(

That's their favorite excuse. Lately I've been wondering if someone stole my creativity demons and swapped them with those of a logic-deprived fangirl, just for a laugh.
