Are there any Buffistas who'd be intereseted in reading my college essays, or mind if I posted them here in the future? I mention y'all in one of them.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Always Anti-fascist!
I would like to, esp. the one with Buffistaness.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
I'd love to read your essays, Hil.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That was Holli, not me.

Ah. Yes. Duh. I *do* know you apart. And that college-application essays aren't quite what's currently on your mind.

Hey, folks in the know...When one is submitting a non-fiction essay to online magazines, is it bad form to approach more than one at a time? Do I have to wait to get rejected by one to move onto the other?

I wouldn't make any distinction between online and print magazines in this case. If they specifiy anything about simultaneous submissions, that's important-- occasionally they'll say "ss are fine"; but, if they say "we really don't like ss" and you think you've got more than little chance of being accepted by two different magazines at once, don't do it. Especially if it's a small/indie magazine: it's not cool if you have to not use a piece you were planning on running. I actually had to write that letter a month ago. I'm not sure the editor will ever look at my work again.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't write poetry, ever, but lately everything has been coming to me in poem form. So...I wrote this for class. Be nice to the non-poet, please...
Autumn Morning
Rebirth comes
not in
budding branches and
fresh new green
but in a
bold sudden
tympani of color,
russet and gold and flame.
Not in the
gentle warmth,
spreading slowly outward
after the thaw
but in the
crisp snap
of air made new,
respite from the heat.

That's rather haiku-ish.

Which is funny, considering that my prose pieces are long rambly things.
