Xander ,'The Killer In Me'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Dayum. ita, the first one is very good, the second one's a corker. Sense upon sense upon sense in there.
BTW - on an entirely different subject - I've just had a happy. An OCLC search revealed the fact that there are copies of And Then Put Out The Light at Oxford and at the library at Trinity College, in Dublin.
And why that should give me the interior warms, I don't know. But it doesn.
Do we talk essays, here, too?
We talk essays here, too.
Anything that's not fanfic, basically.
So where to start?
Whereever you are, bebe.
Where to start on an essay, or where to start talking about one?
(I'm slow today. Ice cream brain.)
So I can post opening paragraphs for the chapters of the book I'll never get around to writing, and you can tell me whether they suck, and i can do the same for you, peppered with what will probably be destructive criticism?

Yup.
Essentially, yes. I think somebody was concerned about making the header too long. But I guess that tattoo thing is an essay.
Memory drabble:
The baby’s crying, and I grab some crayons and start drawing. Her eyes get wide and she forgets the tears as the image takes shape.
Opa used to draw for me. In his hands, card stock and paper fasteners could become a puppet. Old calendars might make a collage.
If he pushed his sleeves up, I could see the scar where the number had been removed. He’d studied to be a lawyer in Vienna. The letterhead from his many failed attempts at entrepreneurship is a ready supply of drawing paper. I drew him a pigeon, and he colored it pink.

This is an interesting format to work in. With the word limit, I have to really think about which details are neccesary. There was another one I started, but I realized I just had too much to say, and it couldn't fit into 100 words, ever. It might become something longer, though, if I have time to write it.
