Basically, I was sitting around, thinking of all the people the scooby gang *didn't* save. I was trying to count the fatalities, but I kept losing track, so I went to grab a piece of paper, but ended up at my computer instead.
I was about a third of the way through when I realized I was writing a story. That was back when I was pretty sure I had no business writing fanfiction, so this fic alone ended up pushing me into having a little self confidence.
I often think about changing the format so it's a script-- sometimes *I* get confused about who's talking, so it must be hell for other people. But I am reassured that it's fine the way it is, and now it's a year old, and I'm not messing with it anymore.
The title came because I needed to figure out who Xander and Willow would be talking to, and it made sense that it'd be Buffy. Of course, the question she asks is right before the fic starts. I don't know if it makes sense to people who don't read the notes...
But again, I'm assured it's fine, leave it alone. All that.
