Oh, man. Katie, that's FUNNY.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
BWAH! Katie, evil link.
Plei, I am just insanely pleased about Ken and his agent thing. Because I edited that novel top to bottom, not once but twice. I yelled at him, I told him when he was being self-indugent, I went through it word by word twice. And he was angelic; he wanted the input, he listened, he dropped all the "authorly" crap that made his first-person character unlikeable and cardboard and instead? We got a fully rounded view of the character and we started believing in why he's cracked-up and therapying. And it went from a poor man's Portnoy to something intense. That was Ken's doing, he did the rewrites, but the fact is, I'm chuffed for both of us, because I put hours and sweat and a lot of intensity into those edits and the novel had been turned down by nearly a dozen agents before now. And LitWest is a killer little agency.
So I'm pleased.
(pssst, more "Emma, We're Needed" in Bitchy....)

Strawberry disappointment.
deborah grabien: See my thing if this. What inspired me to write the fic is Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, etc. Not someone I made up. So that's who I write about. But, hey, each to their own.

(I know! I read it. Fabulous!)
A good editor/beta is a gift from the heavens.

UTTAD, I like both ways, in terms of fic. I've got the first two legs of what's going to be a trilogy up at Shrift's site, but what drew me into writing it wasn't Buffy (although she's my Jossiverse main girl, the one I identify the most with other than Giles), but the concept of Slayer.
As long as it's really well written, pure canon or otherwise, I'm all for it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Has everyone been keeping up with Anna's latest adventure? One of the best things I've read in awhile, for a number of reasons.

Thanks for all the fish.
SA, you handy?
Do you know the status of the remix challenge? Or the url? Because I lost it...

I read some of it last night, but it not being my 'ship, I was just mildly entertained.
Elena, I think Victoria P's blog has a link.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
SA! I got your package! Thank you!!!!!! Look at all the exclamation points!
I ate ALL the little foil-wrapped goodies -- yum! I'm looking forward to reading the books, and listening to the CD (who I've never heard of, BTW). And the bowl is FABULOUS!!! I love love love it. I'm trying to figure out where to put it.
Keep an eye on your mail this week, b/c you have Farscape and Sports Night coming your way.
Also, I can't tape Farscape for you this Tuesday, b/c I'll be in the hospital, and I *must* tape Buffy. However, Hec said he'll tape that Farscape for you, so it should fill in the gap.
