Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Yeah, apparently the Greeks and everyone who came before them...didn't come before then.

Which makes you wonder how they successfully reproduced....

Mea culpa...that was so convoluted, I never thought of it being ethnocentric as well.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Especially since I still haven't gotten back to Deena on her edits to some of my stuff...

This is funny, LJ. I didn't remember that I hadn't heard back from you until I read your post asking Erika. As long as you got it, I'm happy.

Dana, I've marked that post. If I ever find myself so in awe of someone else's writing that I feel I'm useless and must never write again, I'll go back to it and remember that actually, however bad I am, I will not be quite that bizarre.

At least, while I steer clear of the hot mythological orgasm invention fic.

Am, I answered your questions. Sorry I could only answer from my limited personal experience.And, wrod, babe.Hey, all of you Gunn-philes...I'm getting ready to toss him into Kay's portion(I sent him on a South Central demon emergency or something) I found tons of essays about writing for Lindsey, which I was glad about, but I didn't find Gunn ones. What are things I need to keep in mind? Cause I like him,but we don't have a Munchkin Mind Meld.

Thanks, erika-- I'm getting some quite useful answers, yours among them.

By the way, if anyone here is willing to answer some questions about fanfic and let me use those answers in a mock radio documentary, I'd be very grateful. Post here (I'll try and keep up for a couple of days) or e-mail me, profile addy good.

In re Gunn, I'm already planning to be careful about trying to sound "street" cause there are no rap albums titled "Straight Outta Glendale." Although Simonspeak would probably help, but you know...

Kay's gonna enjoy working with him a lot. Finally, somebody she can relate to down at AI. And I don't think I mean porn, but it could happen, I suppose.ETA: Thanks, Plei. I kind of thought you were the go-to gal on that one.

That is why I've hung on to the copy of The Gothic Rainbow all these many years. It reassures me that I'm not THE worst writer on the planet.
