Cordelia ,'Lessons'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Susan, I like option 3. "All grown up." (Yeah, kiss my ass, your loss toots, thinks Lucy, or would if it wasn't a Regency....)
Hmmmm, crimson versus scarlet.
Susan, I went to an embroidery place link, and got their strand samples.
Here we go:
The very last strand is their scarlet.
Still hunting for an example of crimson.
Going by that, it sounds like scarlet is a bright, clear red, like I thought. The shade I'm thinking of as crimson is something like the barberry or brandywine on that sample.
And yeah, I think you're right. Option three is the most effective.
I also tend to think of scarlet as red that's very slightly to the blue side (no orange or yellow tones).
I tend to think crimson is darker than scarlet, but that could be my 200+ bottles of nail polish talking.
Have fallen in love with the updated The Joy of Writing Sex which is, for me, much more interesting and useful than How to Write a Dirty Story was.
I like both, but have not written as many "dirty stories" as you. I would guess you don't need encouragement to use certain words and junk.
Plei, a bit more Spred for you in Bitchy....
I tend to think crimson is darker than scarlet, but that could be my 200+ bottles of nail polish talking.
I think 200+ bottles of nail polish counts as consensus.
Still Life is moving nicely. I was actually pounding away at it, and am about halfway through the rewrite/editing thing. I'm right at a scene where the use of feng shui by the killer is out in the open. And this scene is going to be way tricky to redo....
Did you want me to send it when I finish the rewrites? I'd love some feedback before it goes back to Jenn.
*cough*ahem*cough*
And I agree on the bright clear red is scarlet, crimson is darker and can actually shade to rust rather than the blue.
Bev, if you have time?

Definitely!
By the by, if I happened to have an idea about the feng shui thing, would you like me to pass it along, or do you prefer to work through problems uncluttered?
