On this page I list ideas for stories I would like to
read, but which I don’t want to write myself. Why are these ideas called plot bunnies?
Dunno, I heard it’s because they multiply and suddenly appear in the oddest
places…
If you answer one of
these challenges I will either post the story here or I will link to it.

# 6 – How much
for a Soul?
(Posted at Your mission – should you accept it)
This is a
Wesley/Lilah/Spike challenge.
Set Summer 2002 - Spike
is looking for a way to acquire a soul; Wesley is still looking for Angel; Lilah
is looking for fun and games. L.A.is the first stop in Spike's quest for a
soul. There's word on the street about a demon hunter who's also a scholar. An
ex-Watcher familiar with vampire lore. Enter: Wesley - Wesley's curiosity is
piqued by the soulless vampire seeking redemption (or punishment), therefore he
makes the necessary introductions leading Spike to... ... Lilah. Lilah has the
knowledge Spike needs to get his soul. But with Lilah, everything has its
price... R or NC-17 please! A triptych, i.e. a three-part story, with each part
focusing on a different character (not necessarily 1st person singular).
# 5 – Sixty
Minutes
(posted at nummytreats)
Spike/Xander
Has to be set in S7: In
order to make peace with Xander, (or at least a kind of ceasefire) Spike offers
Xander an opportunity to get even: One hour of payback for past insults and
Spike's involvement with Anya:
"Sixty minutes. You say it - I do it. You dish it - I
take it."
What does Xander do with his one hour of power?

# 4 – Remote
control – set by Miranda
Warren figures out how Spike's chip works and
the Troika use it to control his actions. I don't mean offer to disable
it. I mean force him to do stuff via the chip.
I rephrased the challenge, adding a few requirements
and posted it at nummytreats, asking for a Spike/Xander pairing, either slash-y
or friendshipp-y. Two authors answered the challenge, Xanpet and
Juliatheyounger.

# 1 - Scrooged
Based on Dicken’s “Christmas Carol” or the
(preferably) the Bill Murray film “Scrooged”:
Buffy and/or Spike are visited by the ghosts of
Christmas Past, Present and Future.
A Xander/Spike slash version is acceptable, too.
Any rating.

Hasn’t been answered as such but I found this at
ffnet:
Scrooge Inc – by Lilo
Stitch
(very funny, complete, Rated R - Funnily enough
there’s even a burnt turkey.)
