I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I love William the Bloody. I love them together. And isn't that grand?

I have hundreds of story ideas/started fics on Google Docs that will hopefully one day come to fruition. For now, I mostly post one-shots because they're the only things I actually finish, lol. Hopefully soon I'll get around to something a little more meaty. I have a couple fics that are at about 50k words in there. I've been considering posting some of the unfinished ones and letting them live as WIPs instead of staying unborn forever, but I haven't decided yet and I guess we'll see how that shakes out lol.

I've been in this fandom since I was in middle school. I hopped from writing One Direction fanfiction, the first fandom I wrote for, straight to writing Spuffy. Still bounce around to different fandoms all the time, so there will be long stretches where I'm inactive because another hyperfixation has completely stolen my mind. Don't worry, Spuffy always brings me home.

You guys can call me Ace :)
