	For those about to rock...
	On the writing front: I haven’t done much so far on these nights off. Mainly I've been going back through existing fics and editing out Englishisms. I’m still feeling under the weather (my chest hurts when I cough) and the World Cup is a major distraction. I’ll try to get some actual writing done tonight. Fic search: I'm searching for a vaguely-remembered Spuffy (I think) fic. Set in an AU S6 IIRC. Spike breaks into the prison where Faith is held and (with her co-operation) kills her so that a new Slayer will be called to take some of the pressure off Buffy. The Scoobies jump to the conclusion that Spike's chip is out - but it isn't. I can't remember what happens next. Not much to go on, I know, but does it ring bells with anyone? ETA kcarolj65 has correctly identified it - thank you! Other news: My immediate boss works part time as a presenter at Manx Radio. A regular Sunday morning slot plus occasionally taking over other shows to cover for holidays (vacations) and sickness. This week he’s been asked to do the Saturday night Rock show. It’s not one of our work nights and so he’s able to do it. The problem? He knows nothing about Rock music. The solution? He’s asked me to be the music consultant. On Saturday night I’ll be at the Manx Radio studios controlling the play list. Four hours of my taste in music will be inflicted upon the Island. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Now Speaker, isn't there something about using your powers for good, and never for evil? *g*

Hope you feel better, poor dear.

With great power must also come great responsibility.

I don't think that choosing the playlist for a rock show counts as great power so I can be as irresponsible as I like.

It reminds me of something, I think I saw it at the Vampire Kises' Archive, but I'm not sure.

Oo Oo! OO! I remember that one!It was the Council who had Faith in the one I remember: drugged and restrained and very depressed. No idea when, where or who but remember being interested and it being some years ago. Please let us know if/when you find it as I would like to revisit it.

	Rock On

I'll have a listen. I had to turn down an offer to do a slot on Doctor Who for the entertainment programme due to flu - was very disappointed to have that opportunity slip by. :(

The Spousal Unit had radio shows at KAOS-fm Olympia, 89.6, The Evergreen State College for years and years; I only got to control the playlist when I went to the station with him right after Sam was born.

It's a power unlike any other.

Julia, having avoided radio since the last all-night gig turned into weird conversations with Portland's homeless who wandered into the offices of KBOO

A power to rank with Harmony's super-power of Typing, maybe.

Should we expect an influx of Manx refugees?

Not when they can escape just by switching the radio off or changing channel.

Hope you start to feel better soon. Glad I read the comments through first, as I knew exactly the fic and where to find it, but someone else has beaten me to it so I don't have to struggle to remember the tag to make the link work. Result!

..... We salute you - will there be plenty of AC/DC for the islanders to listen to? Maybe you should rig up some sort of webcast so we can all enjoy your musical choices. Have fun. :)

Thank you! There is a webcast at http://www.manxradio.com/

10 pm to 1 am UK time; three hours, not four as I said at first.

Whee! Fun for you, although the rest of the populace might suffer. Good thing we're not all utilitarians.

Oh how very cool!! Congratulations S2C!! If you're streaming on the internet, I'd love to listen to what the island is listening!

It is streaming on the Internet at http://www.manxradio.com/

I said four hours, but it's really 3. 10 pm to 1 am UK time.
