I got one of those recently about my Spike in Salt Lake series, which quite thrilled me. Those were written primarily for personal amusement, and it always amazes me when strangers (ie, no one here) reads them and likes them.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Want more. Still invested in them.

Shrift -- there's an LJ community called Fic_recs, and Maidenjedi posted a nice rec for Spectacle on it. And on my Friends list, so did Minnowgirl, and possibly Mely although I'd have to check.
I told you last night how much I liked the story, so I'll stop in order to avoid ego-inflammation. Heh.
I wrote last night, a "filler" scene for an as-yet-unaired-in-the-States episode of Farscape. Sadly, it is not a story. It's just a scene I wanted to see and didn't. And it's kind of soggy.
So rather than spend a lot of time on it, I'm just gonna put it on my LJ next weekend and forget about it. It's really "ficcy" in the way that I don't like. Except I wanted to see it. Weird, that.

I believe I saw a link to Spectacle with the comment "THIS is what I wish I wrote like."

I might be able to do a scene or two for you. Because you are the Fabulous Teppy and you deserve treats.

Oh, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about that, but thanks for letting me know about those. I'm still finding LJ land to be entirely labyrinthine.
I believe I saw a link to Spectacle with the comment "THIS is what I wish I wrote like."
Heh. I think I actually saw that one. It had a comment underneath that wasn't exactly complimentary.
I'm not a shrinking violet. I can take criticism -- and sometimes even with aplomb! I'm just backing away from fandom right now while I'm caught in one of my love-hate-cycles-of-I-suck-dom.
I'll be under the computer desk taking a nerf bat to my subconscious.

Is Spectacle on Shriftweb? That's about the only place I look for new stuff.
