Buffista Fic 2: They Said It Couldn't Be Done.
[NAFDA] Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
5875 words. It's still missing a beginning and an end, but I think it's a good "start" if you get my meaning. Amy's been very nice so far, but I think she's going to throw down the gauntlet tomorrow. And part of it is out to my sister for translation into patois, since she mocked me.
Maybe some more putzing before bed.
Huh. Castiel just made it into my story. I truly wasn't expecting that to happen. But suddenly it seemed convenient.
When is too much research really too much? My sister, initially unhelpful, has emailed me about 30 pages on Obeah. She's not into SPN, but she is into Jamaica, so she's interested now.
Wow, that's a lot of pages!
I suppose there's no harm done if you read them, absorb it, and then pick and choose what is relevant. I'd say it's only too much if you try to pack it all in to the fic. In which case, you have a nice palate to work from? If you have the whole scope of a thing, you can shape and manipulate it to work in your story, as opposed to being left to grasp at straws.
I just reread some of what I wrote, and Amy can testify that it's a bit sermony. I really need to trim that down.
And, seriously, I leave a lot out. She'll testify to that too.
Ok, since I messed up in the other thread, I'll do it properly here - been posting Mentalist fic, and it joins a couple of BTVS ficlets, a DW ficlet, and some ancient Trek Smut. [link]
Fuck. Reversebang second due date is next Monday. I was going to work on more Big Bang art. Yet again a talented artist has offered to do some post work to help me out. But I fucking well have to finish this stupid piece and get it submitted for Reversebang first. Ugh.
In non-art news, my magnum opus might have found a home. I mean, the big bad in my story was Jamaican, and I just bumped into Worldwide SPN for which it seems to qualify. Posting dates aren't as late as I thought. They start in January. Still, ends in March. That's forever from now. This is taking a long time, but that long? I dunno.

Oooh. I want to read that AND your fic.
