I love this crazy, wacky, fucked up town in all its annoying imperfection.

Oh, I don't doubt it. I just imagine that being there makes you able to lovingly show the flaws and horrors of the place. No nostalgia to block the clarity.

So now I'm curious, being as you're one hell of a writer... are you considered a BNF in popslash?

Thanks Bitter. I just caught up in the angel thread and was thinking of cutting that and e-mailing it to you. I'm NOT into confrontation. So, having said that, is the remix author likely to catch that post and be offended by it?

Well, I just went and read her LJ out of curiosity after reading this thread, and apparently she wrote the story at the literal last minute, when it was overdue, so I'd think it can't be all that surprising to her if it's not great work...

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten that (not knowing who it was she was remixing at the time).

I meant it when I said I couldn't do better. I don't know the guys, I don't know their music, and if I had to do it at the last minute, it wouldn't be pretty, but I also don't want to offend... there's a line, and I had put on my critic hat instead of my helpful edit type hat, so I'm not sure if I crossed it or not.

I think I'm a little hyper-sensitive at the moment. I'll let it stand.

Gronk.

Finally came up with a blurb.

"Why? Why not? Angel issues, daddy issues, issues with issues--at least they've got plenty in common. Besides, we know they both like handcuffs."

Sigh.

I'm Not Very Witty today.

It's an intensely unwitty sort of day, Plei. You're performing far better than I am. I'm in Queen Victoria's headspace today: We Are Not Amused.

So, having said that, is the remix author likely to catch that post and be offended by it?

It's kinda funny you should ask that. Because after I was done whining, I thought that maybe I shouldn't have bitched about it so much, so publicly. But oh well. I don't think it's likely she would see it unless someone pointed her here and, if that happened, I think I'm more the one for her to be upset with rather than you.

are you considered a BNF in popslash?

Dude, I have no idea. I think I'm rather well-known in some circles [JC/Justin fans, for example, where they interviewed me for the writers site] and a lot of people on LJ know me. But I still feel like a new kid on the block. After all, I've only been writing in popslash for 18 months. Then again, I get a lot of hits and I get a lot of feedback. Though don't BNFs complain that they never get feedback? It's all so confusing.

I'm not entirely sure how one determines if they're a BNF anyway. Like, other people told me I was at the Bronze. But beyond the Bronze? No one knows who the hell I am. So I don't really feel like one in the general online Buffy community either.

I am totally a BNF in LunaSync slash circles though. Then again, there's only three of us in the circle. So we're all BNFs. *snerk*

Lizard, the poetry remix is lovely.
