We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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."

Teppy, I can write the Winthrops or V!Giles. You pick. t though V!Giles will probably win for now

I pick the Winthrops. I miss them.

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.

Yeah, Connie, it's up on the Buffy Fiction Archive.
