Here's my description:

Raven Spencer had dreamed, as a girl, of becoming a warrior. Someone worthy of praise.

She never dreamed she would.

Scythe-activated, Raven now has to deal with what being a Slayer has done to her life, including the new gifts she's recieved. But what makes Raven different could destroy her as well...

New piccy too.

[Buffy Summers]

It's to be an image of the slayer, not Angel. And does she have a last name?

You all might want to think about something a bit more descriptive than a phrase....

[Edmund Blackadder]

OK, i don't have a pic yet, need to do some stuff, but here is my description.

In preparation for the arrival of Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles has an opportunity to read a set of Diaries detailing the events of the life and times of one of the most famous Slayers ever to exist, Joan of Arc.

Uh, just wondering, is it appropriate to add Slayers mentioned in fics, such as Neela in the Violet Matthews story, to the timeline?

Here's a description for my Jehanne:

This girl was one of the many who posed as the famous Slayer, Joan of Arc, shortly after she died. However, like her predecessor, she was also a Slayer, but had the same fate as she when she was burned at the stake.

[Buffy Summers]

I don't think it's appropriate - I think if people want to write other Slayers into their story they should request time periods for them and then write their stories. I don't think it's fair for a bunch of time periods to be off limits when they may never be written.

Here's mine:
Isobel Wood

Description: Isobel was a 16 year old girl, not tall, just normal as she would say, and athletic. She had long blond hair and wonderful green eyes. She had fulfilled all her wishes except one: to become a cheerleader. But the destiny had other plans...

this is the pic and description for my Jenna Robinson fic.

After serving her time as a Potential Slayer, Grace Littleton took it upon herself to use what she knew and become a Watcher. After Years of Study, she was finally accepted into the Watchers Council, then finally given the greatest accolade of all, her own Slayer, Jenna Robinson. But as time progresses, things, times and people aren't who exactly who they appear to be.......

Here's the stuff for my Pocahontas fic....

This Native American Slayer, who was kidnapped by Jamestown colonists, struggled to adjust to her new life as both a Slayer and a colonist. Her hardest task, however, came just after her first year of slaying: the Tento di Cruciamentum. Here, she was pitted against the newly-resurrected vampire St. Just, but the task didn't go as she thought it would....

Any chance you can give the original of this picture? It looks weird in the list because it has the border in there...

The chosen child of violence chosen to protect the chosen child of peace.

Also can I make a request. In the timeline for my other story, Pitra, it says...

Pitra was born in glacial valley

Can that be fixed to say "born in a glacial valley. It's a bug.

Thanks. :)

[Buffy Summers]

I wouldn't call that a bug, I'd call it human error :p

[killerdwarf]

Ok, let's try this...see if it works...;)

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g69/kdwarf/5936sx.jpg

Description for this story should be changed to read:

After a two year respite, civil war has once more erupted in Japan. Akashi Miramoto, samurai (and the Slayer), has joined her liege-lord's forces along with the rest of her family to attempt to overthrow the present Shogun. She quickly learns, to her dismay, that malevolent external forces are driving the war, and the Miramoto clan is fighting on the wrong side. Akashi is forced to choose between two equally disastrous courses of action: betray her Calling, or betray her honour.

This is the description for Ana:

Her name should read: Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova; Called: Dec 10, 1916, died: July 17, 1918.

The most enduring mystery surrounding the executions of the family of Czar Nicholas II of Russia is the separate location of the bodies of Grand Duchess Anastasia and Grand Duke Alexei. Their discovery in the woods outside Ekaterinburg has puzzled historians for decades. Different scenarios have been put forward, none with any supporting evidence. However, the recent recovery of documents hidden by Dr. Botkin in Ipatieva House, along with a written eyewitness account of the murders of Anastasia and Alexei have allowed the Watchers' Council to piece together a plausible timeline. A researcher has recently authenticated the Botkin documents, and a team of experts has been dispatched to the Hermitage in St. Petersburg to search for more papers.

KD that pic isn't big enough...

[killerdwarf]

OK...Let me see what I can get done about that...is the Anastasia pic OK?

[Buffy Summers]

Yeah it's fine .

[killerdwarf]

OK, the other one got too fuzzy when I tried to make it bigger, so could we use this one for Akashi, please?

Here's my picture and description for Temulin:

The infiltration of vampires into the nomadic clans of the Asian steppes in the early 13th century was the trigger for Temulin's activation as the Slayer. Her extended family's massacre at the hands of these demons compelled her brother, then a minor leader of a secondary clan, to unite the tribes and destroy the interlopers. Once unification was complete, her brother's desire for revenge drove him to pursue the demons with the intent to eliminate their presence for all time. Temulin became a trusted and powerful warlord, fully supporting her brother in his endeavours. She was killed during the final assault of their forces on the Great Wall protecting the Song Empire. Her Watcher Xang escaped his captivity, making his way to Beijing, and then eventually to Japan. At his urging, preparations were made in Japan to repel any future invasion attempts by the vampires.

[nerd4hire]

I'm wondering if it's possible to choose a different pic for the timeline once one has been chosen.

Goldenboy did some art based on the Pitra story, and it's really exceptional. It's in Goldenboy's art thread at AfterDarkness.com here.

http://www.after-darkness.com/showthread.php?t=2256&page=3

I don't know which one would fit the dimensions, but if this is acceptable I'm thinking maybe one of the pics from post 30.

I mean if I can have actual art over an actress picture I'll take art every time. Plus it feels more 10,000 BC, and will fit your timeline index better I think.

[goldenboy]

I could resize and reconfigure, depending on your needs there. Just let me know...

[Buffy Summers]

I'll see what I can do but I'd appreciate it if people didn't make a habit of changing...

:)

[eunsoma]

hey this is for my fic 'Gina Perona, 1983-1987'

"Gina Perona was a slayer in the 80s who grew up in Boston. She wanted to be freed from her duties more than anything, but she didn't know just how much she would sacrifice for her calling, until she was tested."


And heres my pic : http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h52/eunsoma/gina.jpg

[ILLYRIAN]

I've just finished my 'fic' entitled, 'They Offered Me Friendship'. I haven't figured out how to get a picture to appear here. I know what I'd like though.
A brief description of them would be: GUEN, Slender of body/stature, near waist length fair hair. The usual pictures I've found depict the character in a floor length white dress, Knighting some-one. HOPE I see as very similar in looks and dress to that the actress in Van Helsing, sword in hand [of course].

Story description:
Guen The Vampire Slayer had been brought forward in time to help Hope The Vampire Slayer end the Son of Dracula.
Hope was kept with those that always helped the slayers, the demon hunters. Eventually they were to end the line of the Senoth Demons, those that created the Stone-Circles as useable by demons for transport.

[Buffy Summers]

What's this Hope the Vampire Slayer thing? Your story needs to hang together with the rest of the stories in this section or it needs to be in the main fan fic forum.

:)

[ILLYRIAN]

I was given clearance to do a fic about two slayers, what are you saying Now ?.

[Buffy Summers]

It's not about doing two time periods, it's that I'm not sure whether what you've written fits in to this project or not.

What is the name of your slayers and what are the dates for each of them?

[nerd4hire]

Yeah that was me. You were asking this.

If using the characters, Lady Guenevere, King Arthur and Merlin poses a problem, then I could start the story in May 2006 and refer to the character as the vampire slayer Guen (Gwen).

I responded there was no problem with using historical figures as slayers. But now that I reread both posts I see you're talking about using 2 slayers in the same story.

The problem is there's a format for titling. You'll see it on all the other stories. It goes Slayer name, then date time served as slayer.

So if you're using two in a time travel kind of story it would go something like Hope and Guinevere, May 17 to July 30 2007, and May 16 to May 18 1067

You could then sub-title it inside the thread with your title - They Offered Me Friendhip.

The pic would be tough. I'll give you a pictorial example. I'm not saying these are the pics you'd use.

Basically you've got Hope

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/JimJohn/guinevere_bow.jpg

and Guinevere

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/JimJohn/ladyquinevere.jpg

I guess you could put them both together, something like this

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y144/JimJohn/HopeandQuinevere.jpg

That's kind of ugly though don't you think? You could maybe contact one of the banner making artists and request something.

This of course is all contingent on whether this can be done as a Tales of the Slayer story. I'm not sure if I spoke to soon when I said there shouldn't be a problem. I was thinking your only concern was the historical slayer thing.

Buffy will get back to you on that one.

[Buffy Summers]

As long as the story can be fit into the bigger picture, I'm fine with it. But it seems like you have your own universe going on there in that story, which I'm concerned has implications for the other stories around it.

[ILLYRIAN]

First up, for some reason or other I got it into my head that the date I'd requested for Hope was May 17th to July 30th 2006. The time for Guen was correct. With regard to the content, I had an idea of what I wanted to write but it was not pre-written, all that story was done as I was writing it.
nerd4hire.
The second picture that you posted is the picture of what Guen was to look like exactly, but not the other, I envisioned her looking more modern.

As for implications for other stories and I'm guessing here, would the last few lines be the problem, when Hope the vampire slayer was created Hope the immortal demon hunter, if so, if the story was to end with the General of the Elite walking towards Hope. That would just as ok.
'Course if that isn't the case, tell me if there is anything I can do to fix the problem and I'll do it straight away.

Edit:

Have just done a quick re-read of the whole story. If it isn't in fitting, rather than moving the story to the main fan fic, just remove it completely. I did not see this story as having any affect on past or future tales of the slayer.

[Buffy Summers]

If you can just give me the dates for Guen so that no one else writes over you, the story will be fine.

[ILLYRIAN]

GUEN MAY 16th TO MAY 18 1067

[ILLYRIAN]

I take it your referring to the use of capitals ?

Shouting not intended, I only used capitals as it's easier for me to see what I'm writing.

[Buffy Summers]

I promise to get these updated as soon as I have some free time. :)

[Buffy Summers]

Okay everything should be updated to this point.
