Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I really need to take my brain out and slap it around some. I've got two stories requested, and all my brain is doing is dithering.
Connie, go write. Just write, and don't worry about if it's any good (tho' I'm sure it will be). Dithering does nothing but paralyze you and keep you from writing. So says the lady finally tackling the 2nd draft of her book proposal. Go, shoo! Write!
Not bad, newbie. Yeah, Connie, you write good fanfics. And even the worst story is better than the best bomb. Or so I tell myself when I'm all "You're boring, played out and have stupid hair." about myself.
Flitting in briefly from slow dial-up land for more Name That Character. In this case urgent, since Sergeant Nameless is a key player in the next scene I'm planning to write:
Is my crusty, ugly, bad-ass, somewhat criminal but more or less on the side of the angels sergeant Davey Bacon, Davey Baines, or Davey Ball?
Davey Ball
My gut reaction is Bacon, and, given that I've just had chocolate pudding to appease the inner food gods, I think that's not because of the yum.
Davey Ball has a nice ring to it but he would have been teased mercilessly as a child.
I like Ball, but I'm afraid it's too punny on a variety of levels. But sometimes punny isn't such a bad thing, and it *is* a real name, so I waffle undecidedly.
If you like the pun, and he makes life hard on people, maybe Baines is better.
I'd go with Baines.
