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.
Buffy: Synchronized slaying. Faith: New Olympic category?
'Conversations with Dead People'
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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.
