More of my work can be found in far more advanced form at Twisting the Hellmouth (Lonely souls is at chapter 110)

There are also many more stories there, though almost all are Buffy related.

Waifs and Strays

Eventually this series will contain crossovers to various books, TV shows, movies and other things. Not all of these will be immediately obvious. The series is essentially Joyce centric, with goodly dollops of Scooby. Though a number of OC's will make an appearance I hope to keep the Mary Sue factor out of it. If not, tell me about it please. An alternate universe, of course, going more and more off course as time progresses.
