Sean, whoa. That's scary and spot-on.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Thanks, Deb!
I gotta go post it in LJ, and to the GWW community.
Good one, Sean.
Sean, dude!
(Okay, that was actually an amusing reference for my own sake in addition to being a compliment.)
Thanks erika, P-C!
One of my stories got rejected...I know it was probably competitive and maybe they had some kick-ass stories show up. I don't doubt...but that really was about my best work at this minute...I don't know what you do when your best is not good enough.
Aargh! {{erika}} I hate that feeling.
On the one hand, I'm proud because I didn't rush it out. I know I gave it all I had. On the other, if that was all I had, maybe I'm not good enough.
It just might not have been what they were looking for. I'm kind of wary of my story's chances, cause it's weird and unconventional, and would be off-putting to anyone who doesn't like excessive stylistic flourishes. Maybe the judges weren't into your story for reasons that had nothing to do with its quality. There are other venues. There will be no giving up of the hope for you.
Maybe mine was not weird *enough*...it's kind of domestic.
