New Measure chapter

So the lastest chapter of The Measure of a Man is up at last: Ch. 7 A Whiter Shade of Pale is actually a pretty short piece in which Dawn and Xander share some conversation, Spike and Buffy throw down, and Giles and Willow get a glimpse of the future. Sorry again for how long it takes me to write these. But I think I'm over the hump at last and now I know where to go to get to the rest of the story I could see in my head.

And oh, oh, oh, [livejournal.com profile] true_enough has posted a manifesto for Chris and Vin in The Magnificent 7 over at [livejournal.com profile] ship_manifesto that perfectly captures what makes these two men so incredible and their relationship so inspiring and perfect. All my Mag 7 friends, go read. It's gorgeous. And my non-Mag 7 friends, read and jump on the stagecoach with us!

Yay! Okay, glad you got the chapter then :) I was just about to comment to make sure.

And...*looks at the icon* I think i need to make a new one for the fic. In fact, someone's bday is coming up, any other requests?

And you know, awesome chapter, my sweet and i cannot wait to see more.

Hey, if you want to update the icon, that's great, but I still love it!

Great chapter. Poor Spike.

I actually reread Measure of a Man a few weeks ago, so I was very pleased to see a new chapter. Which I loved, by the way. I'm curious as hell about what Spike and Buffy's conversation was like, and how long it lasted before the harbingers interrupted.

I'm interested to see how you're going to tie in the actual events of season 7. Is this some alternate universe of Things Not Meant to Be? Whatever happens, I'm at least sure I'll enjoy the story.

Would you actually like to know what the general outline is? I could tell you if you did. It's kind of a mix of S7 stuff and Angel S4 thrown in, but without the annoying wannabe slayers. ;-) I really hated the SITs. I've never written anything wholly AU, mostly I just spin a what-if scenario. This one's farther afield, but it's my much larger what-if.

Without SITs!

Thank you, but I'm as anal about spoilers for the WIPs I read as I am about TV shows (I even avoid spoilers for TV shows I don't watch or care about). As long as you don't become hopelessly stalled (knock on wood), I'd much rather read it as it plays out.

Without SITs!
Woohoo!

Such a delight to see more of this. Thanks so much.

Just doing a bi-weekly check on WIPs - so very glad to see the next chapter of MoaM. Love the story, and I so very much like YOUR version of season 7 vs. what ME came up with.

Glad you've solved the problems and are back astride.

Great chapter! I'm glad you updated this, it's one of the few WIPs that I read.

Yay, a new chapter!! Haven't read yet, but it's on a tab.
