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.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Huh. Good to know. Although

through Zoe's eyes.

NSM with the accurate description. Still, considering that's the only thing I've written in like -- a year? --, and considering the subject matter, it never ceases to surprise me that it's popular.
