Not entirely sure that this is the right place to ask this. If not, feel free to yell, "Go over there with that" at me.
So, last night I ventured into this thread with 6196 new messages and clicked 'recent' to get a feel for what goes on here.
I read Plei's story
Heads or Tails
and was so impressed by it. Loved it.
But then, for reasons I cannot today explain...I stayed up until almost 4am typing out a short story involving Faith and Buffy. And it wasn't even anything I conciously thought about doing. It just happened. I re-read it this morning and the words typed on the screen of course are mine, I am just not positive where it all came from.
Anyway, I am now curious to know if it's the least bit good. Would anyone be interested in reading it and giving me feedback? Nothing strenuous, just something along the lines of either, "Ok, that really sucked. Please don't make me go through that again." or "Not too bad. You might get better with practice."
I typed it in StarOffice but could just copy into an e-mail if anyone has some spare time to look it over. Length is about two pages.
Eep! This is more nerve wracking than I thought it would be.
But then, for reasons I cannot today explain...
Because the fic, she is a virus.

You must be speaking of the virus that causes you to feel momentarily possessed by someone else that desperately needs you to jot down something they have been dying to say.
Cause that's how it felt.
Not in a dramatic way. Just in a normal way.
Damn. This is exactly why I don't go to the mall at Christmas.
Do the symptoms wear off with Benedryl?

Nicole, I could take a look, profile address is good. I'm about to take off for Powells for the day, mind.
Also, if you're okay with posting things in public, Buffista Fic is our workshop thread, and it's really the best thing since sliced bread. I love it. It's made me a tolerable hack.
Well...glad I could amuse. Although, quite sure that for me, negative feedback should do the trick. Unless I'm more of a glutton for punishment than I'm aware of.

With my first try at this, not so sure about it going public yet. I can take negative criticism from one person. Via e-mail.
And why hurt so many (if that turns out to be the case) when you can mentally scar just one poor soul.
Plei, insent.

This hasn't worked on me yet. I mean, sure, it stings like a mofo. But, you know, on my good days, I get giggle out of people damning me with faint praise. (It makes me want to write bad and wrong things to see if I can get a full-out damnation!)
I keep thinking, one of these days I'ma put down this keyboard and back away from fandom. But then I turn around and get distracted by the shiny.

I did that! Victor told me to never, ever, ever do that again.
Ah, bliss! (Willow/Snyder non-con PWP S&M, FWIW.)
Nicole, insent, but in case my email acts up, it's not bad at all.
I like.
And more in a later email when I return from PDX.
Plei, got and returned.
Also? Just subscribed to Buffy Fic. Not posting yet, just reading.
Quick virus, she is. Symptoms are multiplying.
