Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hey, I didn't know Plei wrote Faith/Wes! Talk about not knowing the nummy treats that have been sitting right under your nose. I thought your OTP was Buffy/Wes, Plei, the concept of which doesn't quite work for me.

Nifty keen. Will save it to read later.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Vonnie, thing is, I think it's wrongly labelled: it ought to be "Buffy".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Plei's one Wes/Faith (it appears) is here.

D'oh! I knew it was too good to be true.

Why can't the good writers bend to my will and write to satisfy *my* particular kink? Is that really too much to ask? Huh?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

One bit of unsatisfied " I wanna know" - how did Angel kill her? Stop her heart just long enough to render her technically dead and then recussitate?

I deleted that chapter. There's a spoiler in plain sight about it, though. And the notes are still tucked in my bedframe.

Huh. Wonder how the W/F header ended up there. Kerflippity. Will fix.

Dana, that's my one FINISHED W/F.

I, umm, started another one last night. Should be done tonight.

I got an interesting email yesterday, from a very nice woman who'd read "Pensioner" and thought I ought to be writing my own stuff....

BWAH!!!!

Plei, the thing was, what I couldn't make out from the email was whether she'd left unspoken something like "...and please don't write anymore Buffy stuff" as a kind of coda. Anyway, it was a very kind email and I sent her a link to my website - I think that's appropriate under the circs, yes?

I sincerely doubt that. Aside from the fact that it would be wacky to tell you that you shouldn't write any more Buffy fic, the "you should write professionally!" thing tends to be a high compliment in the fic world. In my experience, at least.

I don't think that would be an implied coda. I've had a couple of feedbacks suggesting I write my own stuff, but I've never read that into them.

I think it's totally appropriate. Ooo! And your website has the Super Hot Author Pic, too! (Deb is very pretty.)

Yah, I noticed that.

Deb is a tired old battleaxe who is having a bad, bad day, is what Deb is.

Honestly, I wasn't hunting for praise; the email was really phrased rather oddly. It begins by asking me to forgive presumption, tells me I really ought to concentrate on writing my own stuff, tells me why, and then rather hastily adds not that Pensioner wasn't a good story, it was.....it has a scholarly feel to it.

But I'm new at this (fanfic and reactions thereto). I will take it as a positive and put the rest down to MS exhaustion.

Ya know, if Betsy and ita would give me permission, I would post a link to the leather, lace and crossbow photo taken at our San Francisco F2F 1n October 2000, at my house. All three of us, with the abovementioned accoutrements.
