AL pats Forgotten on the arm then waves her hand dismissively. "It's nothing we're not used to. It's just a little more often nowadays. Once things get settled and she actually WORKS on the damn thing instead of being lazy, it should calm down."
Then she smiles a little. "That happened once. Long time ago in one of those 'ack!-no-one-but-me-will-ever-read-this' stories. Fanfiction written before knowing what fanfiction was. Actually that's where the Hall O'Rooms in my house on Alnilam came from. The story goes that I was on the Enterprise and wanted to go home and I took Data with me. Then all the guys ended up on my planet and decided to stay there with me, so I needed a place for them to sleep. Hence a long hallway with private bedrooms for everyone. That's also when Woodhorn was created; one of the guys was Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer...don't ask, please. But we needed a threat to a vampire and, thus, unicorn with a stake for a horn." She shrugs.
Data frowns. "I have no recollection of that experience."
The other guys agree.
"We're talking nearly two decades ago," she says. "Buffy first aired in 1997, so the alter ego was 13 going on 14. Once expanding upon what really happened, as it were, that sad concoction of a story faded into the ether and you guys remained blissfully unaware. I like what I have now, anyway. Combining universes is limited to the blog when it's not in limbo, and here. And the occasional crossover that also need rewriting."
