No argument there, although I think it's somewhat silly to have characters present but uncharacteristically silent or inactive. Particularly if the cast is fairly small and cohesive to begin with. Writers who don't like writing for Gunn should find some reason for him to not be around rather than having him present to utter one "Let's gear up" line in a 50 page story.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

I've been looking for a long time for a site that recced and reviewed just Spuffy fanfiction - that being my sole fannish interest and, with limited time online, not wanting to wade through tons of other stuff. I can't seem to find what I want so I've decided to give it a try myself. I've started a live journal where I'll be developing what I hope will be a fairly definitive list of good Spuffy fanfic (and some not so good). If anyone is interested, please wander over to:

Just got a lovely fb email from someone I've never heard of before, saying she really wanted to encourage me to continue with Career Change and Career Advancement. It was formatted in paragraphs and used proper English and all that stuff that proves your readers have brains.
I'm all a-twitter.

I know kind of how you feel, Connie. I've gotten two nice emails in the last fw weeks about fics that are several months old, both completely out of the blue.
It's nice that I feel confident, because I just got assigned Seth/Anna for a multifandom ficathon. And I've never even tried to write The O.C. before.

I like getting the OMG!! Luv yu!! feeback too, of course, but it's nice to see someone's been mulling over my stories.

Hell, yeah. My years-long WIP is a mystery of sorts, and I love it when people write in with what they thing is going on and why. The ego boost is certainly nice, but it's also good to see that what I'm trying to do is working.

Dumb question: I want to start posting some of my longer fic over at LJ. Is there a word or character limit to posts? I couldn't find anything over at the FAQ.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Um, yes, there is, and I have no idea what it is. Sorry.
P.S. - Katie, did you see that you got recced by the fourth vine?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I did see that! Always nice to be appreciated.
