WOOOOHOOOOO!
'Safe'
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Allyson! That rocks! You rock! There is much rocking, mostly centered around you!
Congratulations, Allyson! I'm sure your agent will walk you through the contract hoodoo, so don't let that scare you too much. (I used to be able to recite some of the basic author-contract language, and it's designed to be intimidatingly exact and ominous. But really, it's designed to protect both parties.)
Yay, Allyson!
ALLYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rushed straight to the thread to say, CONGRATULATIONS, ALLYSON!!! Whoo-freaking-hoo!
Party! Enjoy the moment. You deserve it. You worked crazy hard for this, and you're a damn fine writer, and now the world is a luckier place because it gets to read your stuff.
Go, Allyson! And thank God for Buffistas, where I can hear stuff like that, and not think "Damn. I'm a better writer than *that* bitch!"
GO ALLYSON!!! WEEEHOOOO!!!
another challenge drabble.
Dress, 1972
"Almost done."
The girl tucks coffee-brown lace into intricate darts. The dress once rustled around the ankles of an early Edwardian lady. Today, the sempstress at Open Thursday in Sausalito is remaking it on me, for me. It's a present from N.
"I love the buttons." He does, too. I can vouch for how much he likes undoing them. "Let's have a look."
We stand side by side in front of the mirror. "Gordon Bennett," he grins. "You look so prim."
I think about later, him undoing all those buttons, and I shiver. "Prim"? That's not the word I'd choose.
Go, Allyson! And thank God for Buffistas, where I can hear stuff like that, and not think "Damn. I'm a better writer than *that* bitch!"
Aw, you're safe in saying that, still.
C'mon. You know you wanna!
