There was no suck!
You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that.
With my first drafts, I usually end up keeping about 75% of what's there, but what's there almost always winds up getting rearranged.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ha. Draft.

Mostly I just move around the suck, sweeping it into the metaphorical corners and under the rug.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yuletide.
Right.
I have a first paragraph! Also a piece of dialogue from later in the story. So, hey, only 975 words to go...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I'm so happy I didn't sign up for Yuletide.
I also think I damn near outed myself as a ficwriter tonight. But we were talking vids! And my friend knew who Sisabet and Lum were!
... disaster narrowly averted. Beer? Evil.

I'm waiting on beta response before I commit seppuku. If it turns out my story doesn't suck, then I just have to keep myself from signing up for a pinch hit.

For Gris and others who might be looking for novel-length HP fanfic, Sam Vimes has finished Cartographer's Craft.
Good stuff.

Hey. New board.
Heh, I actually JUST copied it to wholesale to my Treo. Airplane reading!
Now if only he would finish Laocoon's Children Year 2 in the next couple of days. I think I like his AU Sorceror's Stone as much as the original, possibly more, and I can't wait to see what he does with the Chamber.
