UWARNING
HUMMINGWOLF'S JOURNAL WILL CONTAIN FREQUENT REFERENCES TO CICADAS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE BUGS DECIDE TO STOP MAKING NOISES AT TWO IN THE BLOODY MORNING.



Hey, does anybody know where I can find some good periodical cicada fanfic? Surely there must be some Buffy/Brood X crossover fic by now.

I'll let ya know then! Have you heard any cicadas screaming yet? Those sounds would be pretty believable as the sounds of demons attacking Buffy, really.

oh, for sure! i was telling gerry just yesterday that the sound reminds me strongly of scary 1950s cold war anxiety horror movies i saw as a kid. that insect screaming noise was prominent in a specific film i saw but can't remember the name of. had peter graves in it, and huge irradiated grasshoppers. brrrr.

ok, here we go! pretty scary, huh kids?

Eeek! Yeah, the screaming noise does have a certain B-grade horror quality to it. fortunately the bugs haven't been irradiated so much that they grow to break the windows, 'cos I'm seeing another one crawling around between the screen & the storm window right now. Silly cicadas!

The plot would be simple enough... something like this:

Cicada attack is reported to Buffy.

Buffy goes to investigate, fights Cicada, one gets away. Xander sustains slight sprained eardrum from Cicada-noise based sounds.

Buffy falls for Cicada on moonlit night. Giles disapproves.

Cicada gets very happy, but ultimately tries to take over the Hellmouth.

Buffy has to step on Cicada to prevent plan. She has tears in her eyes while she's doing the stomping.

Heh. So are you saying that it's likely Buffy would relive S2, or are you saying that it's likely that fanfic writers would relive S2?

I must say, it's very odd to see you up and posting comments so early in the morning. This is gonna take some getting used to.
