Drawerfic = crackaddled things written and then kept in a drawer, never to be shown in public. Or, if you're me, drawerfic = where all those bad ideas that won't shut up get shunted.
When I was working on the last long Buffyverse thing I finished (okay, for certain values of finished that equal not revised or posted), I kept another document in play called, umm. (checks) BADMINNOBISCUIT.rtf. A truly epic Birthdayverse story with some absurd pairings, an overload of angst, hatesex, and hurt/comfort, Sexy Principal Robin Wood, and Gunn and Wes winding up soccer moms with a minivan. It was basically my cliche outlet. Writing the main story was like pulling teeth. Writing the drawerfic was pretty much the opposite. I think for every 200 words I put into Sunrise, I put 2,000 in the drawerfic.
