Spike in Salt Lake series
Want more. Still invested in them.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Some Shriftish notes:
"Spectacle" is really lovely. I love the way you've captured the quiet certainty and strength of S7!Buffy in the last line.
Persephone is still my laptop background image. It makes me happy every time I turn on my computer. I've been meaning to write to tell you that.
The work you do to keep the fannish infrastructure going--Leviathan, Firefly background, BFA, 1/2 of PolyRecs--amazes and awes me. I'm so glad you're there.
