Mal ,'Safe'
[NAFDA] Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
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.
My sister, initially unhelpful, has emailed me about 30 pages on Obeah.
Oooh. I want to read that AND your fic.
That wasn't you that messed up, Windsparrow, that was me posting in the wrong thread and starting the ball rolling.
I'm pretty sure I tried to post the link to my own stuff in the other thread long before you nattered about your fic-writing troubles. I think we egged each other on. Terrible trouble-makers we are. Good thing the rest of the board are so forgiving.
I'ma invoke the FPC. Ignore me while I rant, but I gotta whine a little.
I don't like the art that I see in the LJ of the person who picked my fic for the Star Trek Big Bang. I pretty much hate it, but beggars can't be choosers and I didn't get picked until the third round. FFS, I feel like shit.
Aw, Sail, I'm sorry. That happened to me with the BB I actually backed out of. Not because of the art, but it certainly didn't hurt that I didn't have to have it with my story.
