when I do that, people start crying.
I've yet to see anyone actually protest that you've made them cry.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Don't pout, Plei! I suffered for that fic as well. Especially chapter two.

But I still feel GUILTY.
Like I should be paying for the Kleenex. And I still think Triptych was fairly happy, damn it.
Deb, I'm now insanely curious what you'd think of Absolution I and II. Hmm. (Also available at [link] )

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Plei, marked. Today is squatting on my head and making rude sounds.
One must SUFFER for one's writing, one must SWEAT BLOOD and use said blood for one's ink.
Nuh-UH! Not! Well, not always, anyway. I wrote Plainsong in under 90 days. Paaaaaaainless.
neener neener neener.
Of course, if you're discussing the sort of fiction that goes into balancing a personal chequebook - blood as red ink - oh yes. That one is rivers of sweat and grief.

Hyperbole, exaggeration for effect. Dare one say--metaphor?

No.
(seriously, don't you start giggling when people start seriously rabbiting about how there's no art without pain? Come on, truth? I always want to give them cookies and kindly encourage them to declaim. But I knew you were ribbing - anytime you see me write neener neener, I've turned into the Infant Phenomenon. I never neener when I'm being an adult.)

Generally I nod politely and find reasons to be elsewhere. Cause the thesis might be worth discussing if they weren't working out their "I never got to be a soap opera actor" issues.
