Prompt words (optional)
Voting will close around 6pm PDT, or whenever I get back to my office with a slice of pizza stolen from the movie night gang next door. The goal is to get this written tonight. You will not get angst, death, misery, pain (except as necessary for h/c), or anything longer than 2000 words. I might ignore your prompt entirely. I might ignore the poll entirely.
Oh, and hey: if you feel like writing a ficlet to the specs requested in this poll, go for it. The world needs cheering up, dammit!
This concept is stolen entirely from
Edit: First story will be Snitty-in-Braces!Giles with Buffy, in pr0n with a medium plot. Keep voting, though, because in a couple of hours I'm gonna look at the poll again and see if cheer-up fic #2 presents itself.
