Welcome to the discussion area for The S'cubieverse's Shortest Round Robin Ever: Pants on Fire. If you are here, it's because you have read Spring's very funny short story. So, let her know what you thought.

Very nice, Spring. I'm glad you didn't abandon your chapter, but instead were able to turn it into a great short story. Interesting twist on the idea of a "truth spell" of some kind. Loved everyone getting a bit confused about what Buffy really had tried to say. Loved the bits with Buffy and Spike. Makes me almost wish Buffy had been "forced" to speak a little more truth to the gang at different times in season 6.  Tho' it would have made for a very different season if she had. “Marshmallows, unprepared!” LOL! Thanks much for rescuing this lovely bit of writing, Spring. Lola |

Lola It just dawned on me why you called it "Pants on Fire". I read your story late last night, and when I saw the title, all I could think of was Spike had hot pants. LOL! I think I need a vacation. I loved your story! It was fun trying to decifer the lies from the truth, and I was as confused as the Scoobies. Funny - Spike didn't seem too confused at all. And that stinky demon. Gross! Boojar. LOL! Thank you, Spring!  |

Josh actually did write a Chapter 2, but it added some things that were great for something that was going to be novel-length, but too complicated to try to handle in a short story. So I removed his Chapter 2 and altered my Chapter 3, and wrote an ending. Yes - I thought the "twist on the truth spell" thing worked really well for a Season 6 "snippet." Buffy can't keep herself from touching something attractive and she ends up being forced to lie continuously to her friends. Seemed like a natural! I wrote some of her dialogue with Spike so that what she was saying to him didn't sound too much different from what she might say to him, even without the spell. Buffy was in such denial about so many things in Season 6, especially in regard to Spike, she didn't need the spell to say contradictory things. I was tempted to have Buffy "say more truths" to Spike or others, but as you said, "it would have been a very different Season." |

LOL! Thank you, Spring! Yes, Spike does have hot pants, always! I was thinking of the "Liar, Liar!" thing, and of Buffy & Spike's "hot pants" for each other (mostly Buffy's), when I wrote the title. The story starts out with Buffy trying not to think about Spike, but later she gives in to the "fire in her pants." Glad you picked up on how Spike didn't really seem much confused. S'cubies make such good readers. Thanks for your feedback - it is much appreciated. |

Spring,
I really enjoyed your story! I liked the set up quite a bit and the places you went with it. With that said, It is also a shame that it wasn't a "real" RR. I would have loved to have seen what a variety of people would have done with the whole "msut lie" scenario. It was a great set up.
Anyway, I am glad you did carry it out and you should count it as a "success." *hug*
One of my favorite bits was her instructions to the grooup that ended up being nothing but a garble and Willow muttering her marzipan line. I laughed outloud at that. I would have so loved to have actually seen the actors pulling that whole bit off. It would have been hilarious. I can imagine the eyes rolling, the confused expressions and the frustrtation. Way to go!
Vlad

I did have some ideas for the premise that I didn't end up using, because I don't like to do "novel-length" on my own. But it turned out all right. I agree that the premise would have been fun with more writers. I solicited them on the board after Josh dropped out - but with two other RRs already-in- progress, I ultimately ended up with no takers. Maybe I can get involved another RR another time. |

Wonderful, Spring! That can't have been easy to write. You did a great job! I loved the Spuffy moments. I can't get enough of those at the moment.
Thank you!
