Prompt - Osmosis

Umm, I'm a first time writer to this, and I couldn't find if there was a 'proper' place for me to put my preference for which award I picked. Well, I want the Euterpe Award - that's 12 consecutive weeks - award. Three months. Wow, that's ambitious. Who thinks I'll make that? Not me. So, umm, I would also like to ask if everything we write here has to be towards one thing, or if we have to put everything we write towards a story on this comm if we write everyday? These might be answered elsewhere or sound like really dumb questions, but I seriousy couldn't find the answer. If I find somewhere that answers these questions before someone comments, I will edit this bit out...

Title: Eyes of Midnight
Fandom: Buffy/Angel Flashback verse
Prompt: Osmosis (It only fits the prompt because of two lines: 'William flared his wings to keep balance, as a hollow shot of wind ebbed around his form.' and 'It was William's voice that whispered the word against the side of her face, a couple of metres before cobble stones would have mingled with Drusilla's broken body.' Is this enough?)
Warnings: None
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Okay, this story is up to it's 9th chapter now. It has a couple of main threads rushing through it. 1/ It started with an AU take on the scene where William/Spike is walking through the streets tearing up poetry after Cecily shoots him down. 2/ The Master has turned Willow and she is his favorite. As well, Xander is part of this clan of vampires, and Jesse sired him. 3/ Angelus has been asked by the Master to help him sort out some of his more... ambiguous vamps and he and Faith have gotten together to attempt to bring the Master down. 4/ Darla and Angelus have a history, but instead of like in canon, Angelus being good and Darla not forgiving him, it's kinda the other way around. Darla is also living in a safe haven with Lindsay. 5/ There are angels, vampires and humans. Angels include William, Angelus, Darla and Drusilla. Vampires include the Master, Willow, Cecily, Xander and Jesse. Humans include Lindsay and Faith, who is also a vampire slayer.
Previous parts of this story can be found here.

The current chapter, for this prompt, is Chapter 9.

I'm a little in awe because I hadn't even considered what to do if people got *past* the Goddess award. You're just incredible. Obviously, you'll get the goddess award, and then, as a community, we'll need to decide whether the goal would be to go back and get the others or have higher awards or what.

*chokes then stutters*

go on? after a roaring kegger, right? what am i saying... sure, i could go on. i'm game. i mean, self-flagellation's better than no flogging at all, i suppose. there's no way i'm wrapping up this story in seven weeks anyway. what the hell.

who are you kidding anyway, lit_gal? you know you're dying to make more awards!

Maybe start naming the Goddesses...like Athena, Hera, Aphrodite, etc...or combine them for the next level, like the Goddess Urania, Goddess Melpemone, etc for the higher ranking awards...

There are so many ways to go with this...

Did I ever tell you how much I love this community and how fantastic it really is? It helps me stretch my imagination and literary fingers out to capture whatever enters my feeble little mind...You've done a bang-up job as well, sweetie...thank you for your amazing modding of this little ship of fools!
