Hullo! I've put the next chapter of 'Changes' up on my site.
And i have...i dunno...notes?
First, there is some Spanish in this chapter...Derio speaks! Hee.
The thing is, i have no real clue if it's RIGHT. I asked a Spanish speaker to traanslate for me but he admited his Spanish was 'rusty', so... If it's totally, completely, HORRIBLY wrong, for the love of all that's...unholy, TELL ME! I hate to think anyone who can speak the language is reading it thinking 'god, what a moron!'. Or feeling insulted 'cause i mangled their native tongue. Also, Derio is from Puerto Rico, so if that makes a big difference i'd like to know.
There is also a little bit of home-made Santeria in here. It's probably not 'right' right, but i'm thinkin' the boi is a bit like my friends and i when it comes to our own practices - take what you like from all sources and make it work, and don't worry about the 'structure' imposed by others. Unless it'd get you killed.
'Eclectic' is the word. So, please don't be upset if Santeria is your relision of choice - we mean no disrespect! And would welcome input!!
Anyway - enjoy!

Changes Chapter 15: Breathe
no subject
Yeah, the wedding! Anya needed some good times. :)
And i love Tara too much to EVER go with canon on that. Just so terribly wrong. And Willow....*le sigh*
I glad all my points made sense! I can never tell, hehe. Things always look different when i haul them out of my brain and onto the screen.
Hee - yeah! I always wondered why they didn't do MORE poking of people!
And why no Jesse for Xander? Why no Jenny? Why no Angel/us, yeah, why no Joyce?
I don't know if i can write a convincing Angelus because he was kinda cartoony to me in the show. We'll see.
No dread! There may be ups and downs, but i will always end a story on a good note! I like happy endings. :)
Thanks so much for the fb! I really appreciate it.
