Oh yes. It's all about being polite. <eg> It always works for me. Speak softly and carry a charged lightsabre.
Short, but well worth the read, Hai-Gan. Now if you could just do it again in the near future....

Eric is smarter than he sounds eh? It certainly is true that the beings who state calm quiet threats (promises) are usually much scarier than the raging maniacs.
Lovely as usual. And HaiGan, you really do have "leave them wanting more" down pat my dear.

Loved Spike's internal rambling on getting Dawn to Buffy and the idea that Thom came up against Drusilla.. too funny!
KD right, you do know how to make us want more!

The sunshine-stick... it took me a minute to get "lightsaber" out of that, given the Scoobies' tendency toward immature humor and the rather odd relationship Spike and Dru had, I thought for a quick second that it referred to... never mind. 
Good post, Hai-Gan.

I loved Spike's thought processes! They made complete sense. And I loved Eric's sense of self-preservation. I'm glad Barin's finally decided to check up on the kid; he didn't know Thom had followed him originally, did he?
And in the meantime...
SHE POSTED! SHE POSTED! SHEEEE POSTEEEEEEEEED!!!
And there was much rejoicing.

a juicy, fresh star-boy with a nasty, biting sunshine-stick. was so exactly Dru. Actually the whole thing quoted by Eric was so exactly her and how she would be quoted by any "sane" vampire. Dru creeps me out.
Going once more into misquoted gull...
More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More. More.
Pleeeeeeeease.

Hai-Gan - you have Dru down perfectly. She would refer to a lightsaber as a glow stick and get all wierd and cryptic.
I also forgot how cute spike was in that season of Buffy, and the way he cared for Dawn.
I love your characters of Barin and Thom - is there anywhere I can read earlier stories of them? I've read The Lion Sleeps Tonight and the short stories on the Jemmiah Chronicles website, but are there any more out there?
Thanks

Ooh, everyone's still here, and some less familiar names too. This isn't another post though, yet, sorry.
*Pictures Lilith with a smile and a lightsaber* Yup, that would be effective. And it's remarkable what a threat to your existance can do for your intelligence, KD and Renata. No, Barin didn't know at first that Thom had followed him; although that little talk with Giles gave him a clue. This is Thom here, after all!
Leona and Darth Moby, glad you liked the post, and Ty-gon, take a nice, cold shower . PadawanKitara, you mean you don't feel sorry for poor, poor Spike? Aww !
Tanith! The first ever story posted about Barin and Thom was the 'snapshot' story called "Don't Try This At Home". The characters have evolved somewhat since then, but it's still good for a laugh despite the occasional typo and minor plot inconsistency:
http://boards.theforce.net/Fan_Fiction_Stories--Classic_JC_Board_(Reply-Only)/b10016/452770/p20
(you'll need to have your board settings to the default page length for the addy to work)
The next was "Winning Hands Down":
http://boards.theforce.net/Fan_Fiction_Stories--Classic_JC_Board_(Reply-Only)/b10016/452770/p21
There are some others on the Snapshots thread as well. I used to have an archive on my webite, but I took it down when I moved the site and haven't put it up again. The best place to find most of them is on the Jemmiah Chronicals website:
http://www.hellschancecantina.com/Fanfiction.html
There's also a lot of other fiction there by several different authors, all based around one particular enterpretation of the Star Wars universe.
The first full-length story is "You Can Run But You Can't Hide", telling the story of how Barin came to take Thom as a Padawan:
http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=2065258
Imzadi borrowed Barin and Thom for a story (with permission), and did a very good job of writing the pair:
A Glimpse of Dawn
http://boards.theforce.net/Fan_Fiction_Stories--Classic_JC_Board_(Reply-Only)/b10016/5604215
A rather darker story, set in the future, is The Hunt:
http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=5300033&start=5352239
Some of Barin's background is covered on the Xanatos Snapshots thread, which was co-written with Kit' and includes a bunch of her OCs as well. Be warned, it gets very dark and deals with some sensitive subjects:
http://boards.theforce.net/Fan_Fiction_Stories--Classic_JC_Board_(Reply-Only)/b10016/2273026/p3
I've just realised that my son was 7 when I wrote my share of those stories, and this year he'll be off to secondary school (that's high school, I think). Has it really been that long??
There will eventually be a story that fits between The Lion Sleeps Tonight and The Hunt, which fills in the story of why things were as they were for The Hunt. There's also several other bits and pieces in progress, some with Barin and Thom, some with Barin and his second padawan Caelum.

Has it been that long... I looked back and discovered that the conversation between Giles & Barin was in July of 2002!! My dear, please please do your fans a favor and WRITE MORE SOON!!!

You may have thought you took it all down, never to be retrieved again....but you forgot that Google is your friend 
HaiGan's old archive can be found here
Great post too! Loved Spike's internal monologue and I loved how the vamp was more scared of Barin because he was polite rather then anything else.

It is funny how quickly time seems to pass. Like Tanith, I've spent some time waiting for more here rereading your wonderful Barin threads. Still awesome!
