Subject: BUFFYFIC: Poem: I Wonder, I Wish

Title: I Wonder, I Wish
Author: Taygeta
E-mail: [e-mail]
Distribution: Sure, just tell me first
Feedback: Yes...please...whatever the complaint.  Poetry is rare for me.
I've only done two other poems that haven't counted for class credit.
Anything said is appreciated.
Disclaimer: Buffy is not mine.  Xander is not mine.  All the characters
do not belong to me.  They are the property of Joss Whedon, 20th Century
Fox, Kuzui Enterprises, Mutant Enemy, WB, and Sandollar Productions.
Therefore, no copyright infringement is intended.
Author's Note: Well, it's Buffy-related.  It was suppose to be a Xander
thinking of Buffy type of thing, but it could also be a Willow thinking
of Xander type of thing.  As well as anyone you actually could apply the
"loving from afar" type of thing. There isn't any name reference to BtVS
or it's characters, but I stuck a disclaimer in for the sake of it, since
it is a requirement.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I Wonder, I Wish
By: Taygeta

I sit here and wonder,
Thinking only of you.
I continue to wish,
I continue to dream, dreams that may never come true.

I suppose I am a fool,
And love from you will never be mine.
But I can hope...
Can't I?

I watch you from afar,
And I know what you long for.
But do you know my dreams,
As I know yours?

I long for you to be in my arms.
I long for a love that I've wanted for so long.
I long for you to long for me,
And I long for days that at the moment shall never be.

You are the sun,
You are the moon,
The first and the last,
My thoughts synchronized.

You are my love,
You are my heart,
I have found you to be a part of me,
But that, too, has yet to be.

I think of you and I think of me,
I think of us,
As nonexistent as it may be.
You, me...us...
I wonder...I wish...


*****End...feedback?  Please?*****

Subject: BUFFYFIC: ADMIN:  List rules

Welcome!  This list is for fiction related to "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer," both the TV series and the movie.  To ensure that we all get
to enjoy as much fiction as possible, please adhere to the following
guidelines, and please save them for future reference.

1. Fiction should have Buffy characters in it and clearly be related
to Buffy.  Crossovers are great, and expected, but general
vampire/monster stories that aren't in the Buffy universe and don't
use Buffy characters belong somewhere else.

2. Discussion of posted fiction is permitted onlist.  Please put
"DISCUSS" in your subject line.  Requests for missing story parts
should go directly to the author, and not be posted to the list.

Discussion that is not related directly to the fiction should go over
to the general Buffy list.  Discussion of fiction is expected to
follow common netiquette guidelines and use PG-13 language.

3. No advertising of <any> items or services, Buffy related or not,
and no posting of non-story items such as .gifs, sound files, etc..
No attached files of <any> kind-- if your mailer makes your fiction
into attached files, you need to find another way to get it to the list.

4. If you're writing a story and including advance information on a
new episode, and you're posting your story earlier than the national
viewing time, please:

     **Mark the post as a "spoiler" in the subject header.
     **Leave about twelve lines (blank or with non-spoiler info) at
          the top of the post.

This ensures that anyone who doesn't like knowing about an episode
ahead of time is "protected."  :)   The blank space is for people whose
mailers automatically open up the next piece of mail, without giving
them a chance to see "spoiler" in the header.

Spoiler warnings are not necessary after the start of the episode's
national viewing time, which is currently set at 9 p.m. Mondays,
Eastern Standard Time.  Spoiler warnings are not necessary for reruns.

5.  This list is absolutely NOT for erotic fiction.  <Nothing> stronger
than sexually PG-13 material is to be posted to the list under any
circumstances.  A story may be R rated for violence or language, however.

If you have a question about something's suitability for posting, feel
free to ask one of the listowners.  Sending sexually explicit material
will get you immediately and permanently unsubscribed.  No exceptions.

6.  By subscribing and/or posting to this list, you acknowledge that
Buffy the Vampire slayer and all characters associated with either
the televised series or the motion picture were created by Josh Whedon
and are owned by Mutant Enemy productions, Kuzui Productions,
Sandollar Productions, and 20th Century Fox.  All stories posted to
this list are for entertainment purposes only, are not sold for profit
of any kind, and are not intended to infringe on any copyrights.

7.  When posting stories to the list, please follow the following
formatting guidelines
- --No story parts longer than 250 lines
- --No lines longer than 75 characters
- --Turn off your "smart quotes"-- many readers receive these as garbage
or weird symbols
- --Put the title of the story in the subject header, indicate if it's a
multipart story, and if so what part this is.  Example:   Buffy Meets
Godzilla (2/65) indicates that this post is part two of a 65 part story.

8. If a story is rated "R" for language/violence, indicate this in an
introduction.  For example, "There's a really bloody fight scene at
the end of this part" or "if you don't like dismemberment, stop
reading now!"  If there's <any> chance that someone might be disturbed
by something in your story (even if it's not rated R) please include
some kind of warning up front.

9.  And last, but not least, the listowners reserve the right to deny
subscription (new, renewed, or continued) to the list for any
individual(s).

PLEASE NOTE:  not following any or all of these rules will get you
the following:

**First offense:  offender is unsubscribed for one week.
**Second offense:  offender is unsubscribed to the Buffyfic list for a
minimum of three months.
**If the offender returns and does it again, they're offlist
permanently.

As noted above, posting sexually explicit material is the exception --
you go straight to permanent unsubbing.

Again, welcome!  If  you have any questions about these rules, please
contact either one of us offlist.  If you have subscription problems or
questions, the fastest way to get help is to e-mail one of us at the
addresses below, <not> at the [e-mail] addy which is the
"official" e-mail owner of the list.
