Willow ,'Him'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Planning on spending 2 weeks reading fic over Christmas.
Gah. I'm going to be offline for about a week at Christmas, since my folks don't have wireless. I might be able to check in once in a while, but there will be no ficreading. Sigh.
Hmm. Maybe I can load up my laptop with lots of stuff to read before I go. But really I should take the opportunity to write instead...
I only have one scene left to write on my Yuletide story, and I'm no longer freaking out. Well, not until I have to come up with a title and summary, any road.
I am starting to worry that this story is not going to happen. For one thing, I cannot find the handwritten draft of a central scene.
For another, I feel like my writing ability has taken a dive down the crapper. Feh.
Never underestimate that burst of adrenaline. God knows I'm counting on it.
Yeah, I decided not to do Yuletide this year after last year basically convinced me I couldn't actually complete a story and be satisfied with the result. Which is why my Great Harry Potter Femslash Novel remains stuck at chapter fourish (making it more of a Great Harry Potter Femslash opening, really.) and my Great AU Buffy/Angel Novel (in which W&H brings Tara back to life so she can stop Willow, who has basically become Jasmine - not too creative, but fun, dammit!) remains at chapter, oh, I don't know, probably 3, and it disappeared somewhere anyway.
My Yuletide story last year, on the other hand, was completed. I just wasn't happy with it. Though I do still read the LJ of my recipient, regularly, and helped edit a really good novel she wrote, so the experience was worthwhile.
I don't know why I'm rambling.
Never underestimate that burst of adrenaline.
Not to mention that there will be a lot of people up and around and in chat during this time, and frantic cries for help really won't be an imposition.
After a long absence, guess who's back?
Suddenly the young woman found herself in a state of disconcerting confusion given that the reverie she just experienced seemed surreally factual.
As did that sentence.
"Surreally factual" is my new favorite phrase EVAR.
I believe this bit comes in between the "It's a Wonderful Life"-type dream, and the part where she sees the ghost of a woman who was Michael's wife in another lifetime, so...things do start to seem surrealy factual by that point.
