Buffistas

We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

I have the dilletante's knowledge of literature. I'm familiar with the really identifiable lines from a lot of works--plus, I have a lovely dictionary of quotations that lets me look well-read while not making me have to take time from scanning for Xander/Spike slash.

I accept the challenge to actually read something by James Joyce. I need to go back to the library anyway, since I've finished "The Princess Diaries" again. Hey, she likes Buffy, she can't be all bad.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

It's OK, Lizard, I'll keep my disappointing tastes in popular literature far away.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I accept the challenge to actually read something by James Joyce.

Just pick up The Dubliners and read "The Dead." It's a masterpiece and there's nothing stunt-like or attention-getting in his writing there. Except for its exceptional beauty.

Always Anti-fascist!

I have read Joyce before...and kind of get high off the sound.(Except for Portrait..., which I read in hs and killed my buzz.) But the understanding, NSM. Literary Accent-Oost?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A 'go team me' bulletin: 9 pages written yesterday. 53 pages total for this month, which is a blazing fast pace for me. Yesterday I also read through about a hundred pages of old prose of another linked story to this one and actually kind of liked it.

Hey, I'm impressed! Go Theo.

And we will call it... "This Land."

Nine in one day! Wow!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

And it's all pretty much one conversation. I should gag my characters more often, but then they'd start miming out stuff....
