That is awesome, Juliana.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Very amusing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Exclusive, by copperbadge, is also pretty awesome.
Hah! Very well done. That twist at the end really got me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, it's been a long time since I got a "great story, where's the sequel" comment. But someone commented on my yuletide story asking for more, with sex, with character recommendations.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Wow.
Seriously?
Which reminds me that I have to finish answering comments.

Many of you will remember the Vamp!Giles story I started over 10 years ago. Ten years! I've always sworn I'd finish it, but I've begun doubting it. I've got a summary for what will finish it out. Everyone's read WIPs that seem abandoned, would have you more or less respect for an author who formally announced that a story isn't going to be completely finished but could provide an outline of what would have happened? Heck, I could even put in the scenes I wrote in an effort to kickstart me to doing the bits that bogged me down.

I think that I would salivate at any snippet offered on a story I'd waited to be finished. And if the author said no mas, fini, I'd be happy to take what I could get and glad that I wouldn't be getting anymore.
There's a SPN writer who keeps promising due-by dates and fails to deliver, that's awful. Being promised incomplete but final is less cruel.

The story does not bring me joy anymore, which I certainly do not need at this particular time. Thank god I've managed to find my writing, I've turned out a few stories in the Avengers universe, and it pleases me greatly that I can still do that. And there's even someone who occasionally emails me gentle requests in a fandom I left pre-Buffy. I need to write where there is reward, though it seems like spurning Art-with-a-capital-A.

If it had been an incomplete story that I'd really enjoyed, I would happily read a summary of how it ended up and a few scenes. It's nice to have that closure.

I just got another deeply insane comment over at AO3. Is something in the air lately?
(Nothing bad, just someone being extraordinarily literal.)
