Subject: Okay, Love’s Bitches, time to rock and roll...
Calling all Bitches. Here are the members of your group:
ancientpeas
Chani
morgain
Jamemosalo
jodyorjen
JSlayerUK
Kaylorin
kittymontague
Leatrix
Molloch
Spike’s cutie
Some of you have done this before, but there are a few newbies, so members of the group may want to introduce themselves and help out / answers any questions. You may want to determine on how you will decide on your recommendation and have a volunteer coordinate all of the suggestions and send on the final recommendation. The time frame is from Feb 17- Mar 3 for each team to pick the story to represent you and your ship. If you need to consult criteria or rules, visit the website at:

Have fun, ‘cause this is what it is all about!

Hi! I'm morgain and I am a diehard redemptionista.... -- morgain, 11:32:33 02/16/03 Sun (modemcable122.195-200-24.que.mc.videotron.ca/24.200.195.122)
But, you probably know that! ;-p
Since the last two stories we recommended explored Spike's "darker" side, I suggest we go romantic all the way. Some suggestions we have already read, others may be new....
1. Love is Blind by Avalon
http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=48
2. Future Imperfect by cousinjean
http://www.randomthought.addr.com/redemptionista/future1.html
3. And Miles to Go by cousinjean

Introductions... and Admin -- Leatrix, 14:55:59 02/16/03 Sun (AKCF1-GGI.xtra.co.nz/203.96.111.237)
Hi
For the oldies in the group, there's nothing new here but for any newbies - I'm into anything Spuffy, no real preferences, but I will admit that the last recommendation was pretty dark, but very good once you got through it. I've also been the convener for the group, taking votes and organising things.
Ok - from previous experience with the group, I've found that too many stories being recommended means that there is not enough time to critique and read. There is tight time limit - only *2 weeks* for us to get our reading completed. As with most things, some of us don't have enough time to read as much as we want, so I'm proposing the same time of ground rules as for the last session.
I would suggest that we stick to the limit of *3 stories*, from which we choose the one story that goes through as the groups choice. Morgain has already suggested that we focus on a *romantic* theme for this month, and I'm happy to agree. We already have one new story recommendation as well as a couple that have previously been suggested. If everyone is happy, the list for choosing this month will be:
1. Three coins of fate by Kumi
www.angelfire.com/80s/libidinous_desires/kumi/3Coins.html
2. Love is Blind by Avalon
http://www.allaboutspike.com/fic.html?id=48
3. Future Imperfect by cousinjean
http://www.randomthought.addr.com/redemptionista/future1.html
If you have any comments, please contact me. Otherwise, if you have any other suggestions, please hang onto them and we can use them for the next session.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I'm a newbie here, so a quick introduction - I'm a Spuffy fanfic addict and looking forward to reading some new stories and getting to discuss them with others.
Leatrix, your suggestions look great, thanks for taking charge of the admin side like that!

And a quick question -- Kitty Montague, 18:15:26 02/16/03 Sun (NoHost/203.49.89.146)
Is there a list somewhere of all the other stories that have been read in previous sessions, not just those picked as the representative of the ship? I don't want to recommend any that have already been considered.

Check the archives and read the Loves Bitches threads... -- morgain, 19:13:27 02/16/03 Sun (modemcable122.195-200-24.que.mc.videotron.ca/24.200.195.122)
All recommendations went through the threads.
Glad to see you here.

This is the address for "3 coins of fate" by Kumi. It is a completed series, so does qualify for entry.

Oops - forgot to add - Check under "Kumi's pen" -- Leatrix, 01:50:26 02/17/03 Mon (httpproxy.clear.net.nz/203.97.2.243)
To find the story.

So far so good... -- Kaylorin, 00:04:44 02/17/03 Mon (pcp630918pcs.newhvn01.in.comcast.net/68.53.195.223)
I like all the recs so far. I've been offline all week due to my stupid computer so I have no recs of my own right now, but just wanted to check in.

Bad me... -- Spike's cutie, 01:01:47 02/17/03 Mon (netcache-2002.public.lawson.webtv.net/209.240.198.61)
Still new to the rules & Three coins of fate is part of an incomplete series. Really good though. You should read it in your spare time.
Ok so here's a couple more real good ones.
Walking after midnight by Chelle
evilsecrets.net/onegoodlay/wam1.html
or
Wizard glass by Ripe Wicked Plum
4dw.net/dmarkedlove/wizard.html
This story I read around Dead Things & thought it could happen cause I figured Willow was going to go dark. They are both great stories.

Ready and waiting -- Molloch, 07:35:29 02/17/03 Mon (NoHost/203.55.173.3)
I'm a newbie to all this but I think I've got the gist of it. And I'm happy because I've already read Love is Blind. Woo hoo. So I just wait for now and go and read the other suggestions do I?

Go ahead and read the other suggestions... -- Leatrix, 14:13:06 02/17/03 Mon (AKCF1-GGI.xtra.co.nz/203.96.111.237)
And when I call for a vote on what was your favourite for this session, you can either e-mail me your final vote or post it to this thread.
After I have all the votes collated for this session, the winning story goes forward as the Bitches recommendation to the rest of the club.
:-)
