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 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.

See, the problem with you writing the bad and wrong things is that you write so well you make us LIKE it.

And then our heads explode.

I love you very, very much Plei. But I stand by it. (:

Which is exactly why she must only use her powers for good. Mostly.

I've got my head into this Vecchio story. And I'm not that good with a Vecchio voice. It was just supposed to be this quick thing for the weekly ds Flashfiction, but I kept writing and it turned on me. I have to watch more of S2 episodes that I have and in more detail to get his personality.

I like my idea and I like some of my phrases but I'm not happy with the way I'm telling the story.

I need to get some information on Las Vegas and at least a little bit better idea of what the guy Vecchio is pretending to be might do. Anyone have any ideas where I could find some information?

Would Casino, the movie, be useful for getting inspiration? Also Donnie Brasco as well. This is about the extent of my own knowledge in these areas. :-) Remember that DS takes place in Magic Realism land, where half the crime in Chicago is mob-related, all Canadians are polite, et cetera et cetera.

My knowledge of Las Vegas is currently limited to CSI and 2 crappy Vegas movies CKR was in and Casino and Ocean's 11.

All my mob knowledge comes from bits and pieces gleaned from movies not featuring mobs, Casino, and Due South. I'm not really into mobster movies so I haven't really watched any.

I'll rent Donnie Brasco. I started writing about Vecchio and I ended up going into a different direction and I really like this idea and I want to do it justice.

"Brasco" is a good choice, cause the mobster teaches the agent how to act mobster, essentially.I've seen tons of those movies and 2 "Due Souths" You say tomato...
