Author has written 67 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Buffy X-overs, Angel, Alias, Superman, MacGyver, MAGNUM P.I., Book of Eli, and Hunger Games. Almost all my writing is for the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with occasional forays into Angel: the Series (which I consider to be basically the same thing). The works I’ve archived here fall into five categories: The Backstage Series consists of stories carefully linked to canon and to each other, to form an internally consistent rendering of the Buffy/Angel universe. (This does not, however, include the “canonical” Season 8 and Season 9 Buffy comic book series. TV episodes only.) The Independent Stories, unlinked either to the Backstage stories or to each other. The Drabbles don’t really fit in either category; I just did them as a passing thought anyhow. The Queenverse stories were done in collaboration with SRoni and, while technically separate, can be slotted in beside the Backstage stories. Finally, the OtherFandom stories are those done outside the world of Buffy/Angel. There are very few of these, but I expect more to appear gradually over the years. Anyone wanting to follow stories in progress, with attendant commentary, can check me at www.livejournal.com/~aadler. | |||||||
