Introduction

Hello everyone. This is may be my first attempt at writing fanfiction, but I enter into this already having the inspiration and support of many friends. I may still be new to fanfiction, but what I have read already has been wonderful and has inspired me to set out on my own. My biggest inspiration in the area of fanfiction writing is Jolene, I have read many of her stories including (The Bond(, as well as her Joyce/Giles fanfiction and I think she is a wonderful writer. I(ve been a (Buffy the Vampire Slayer( fan for a long time now, and love how Jolenes( fanfiction as expanded on the subject with many new stories.

My favorite writing of Jolene(s in particular, has been her Joyce/Giles fanfiction series titled (Surrendering to Fate(. I feel that Jolenes( Joyce/Giles writing was great in many different ways. Most of all being, the mature relationship between Joyce and Giles and the true sense of romance that I felt while I was reading it. Which has inspired me to write my own Joyce/Giles short story. The reason why I chose Joyce and Giles in particular is that because of my age, I feel a connection to both of the characters. I also like to think of myself these days as not being so much a (hopeless romantic, but more of a (hopeful romantic( at heart. Much of what I will be writing about in my story comes from my heart as well as the inspiration of others.

My Joyce/Giles short story is based on the relationship that I would have liked to have happen, after Joyce and Giles had reconciled their feelings and had gotten back together after the Band Candy episode. In my story which is titled (A Special Celebration(, the story picks up after Joyce and Giles have gotten back together and had since gotten married. My story takes place, as Joyce and Giles celebrate their 1st wedding anniversary in which they have both made plans for a very special evening together at home. I hope you enjoy reading (A Special Celebration( as much as I(ve enjoyed writing it.
