Oh, I definitely agree that he's been wasted. His anger is why I find him interesting, and is part of why I would very carefully avoid him if he were real.
Right there with you on "Hell's Bells," possibly for the same reasons.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

I say, Tyler, you're thinking of vampires.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So, writers, how do you get your grove back?
I'm trying the "stare at the document and wait for inspiration, and reread Speranza's stuff while you're at it which probably doesn't help the cause" technique.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at.

I actually wrote some sex. Um...on Tuesday. Considering the boys had been in the middle of things for quite some time, they were pretty grateful.

Thrive to spite them
I still can't write sex. I no longer giggle like crazy when I try and write it but I just can't seem to visualize it in my head. I lose track of what's going on. Anya's getting rather peeved because I was supposed to be working on a story about her. And then there's the rabid Firefly plot bunny that attacked me and won't let go.

Thanks for all the fish.
I let myself drift into long droughts of not writing (hmm, one lasted ten years) and then pop out the occasional bit of porn or angst. But I don't consider myself to be a writer. I'm neither prolific nor dedicated enough.

But I have a tendancy to listen to the same song over and over again and just stop what I'm writing, space down to a blank screen and start over again. Even if I'm typing out the same stuff.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, are we talking specifically about sex? See, that I have no problem writing, for some reason.

I can read Xander/Spike if it's completely silly but that's about it.
Te's Post-Grad series was, I think, the first or one of the very first pieces of fic I read. (Okay, I read the entire Sith Academy, and at one point knew it chapter and verse, but I've never seen Star Wars itself so that was more like reading a dizzyingly coherent, fuck-ass funny, original collaborate world.) It's a good way to enter. I count S/X among one of my favorite ships. Anna S.' S/X, for example, has me gibbering at her feet. But then again, that could just be the fact that it's, you know, Anna.
Plus, "S/X" is one of the few abbreviations that's never going to get you in trouble because someone thought you were talking about one of the other six characters with names that start with L or W or G, you know.
