Tara ,'First Date'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Debet, that was a nice, easy, very charming way to slide on in.
Liese, we need to exchange tapes. Nic's supposed to be uploading our old band tapes (including a legendary afternoon called the Saturday Sessions) up, for transference to CD. Soon.
Susan, when my brain is working, will think more about that.
A Lady's Sergeant comes down harder on the side of the class divide focus for me. Something that sold the divide, like The Countess and The Sergeant would have more of a bang … If there was a Countess. "Lady" does not immediately go to 'noble', on a glance.
GUS!
Drabble something, babe. Go for it. How are you? Since I no longer hangt out in Natter at all?
Drabble something, babe.
Word says the last post was 49 words. Are 51 words enough to tell you that I am well, that I now reside in Switzerland, that I have made an alliance of the heart with a South Korean woman who makes my aged heart thump?
Yes. Word says they are.
"Lady" does not immediately go to 'noble', on a glance.
Well, in this case, it shouldn't--she's a lady in the sense she's rich and part of the gentry, but she doesn't have a title. But I like The Lady's Sergeant, too. Must ponder.
Susan, I really like The Lady and the Sergeant. It has a nice ring and rhythm to it. Plus it has a barely detectible but influential callback to "Lady and the Tramp" which, maybe only in my fevered brain, helps define that social divide.
Liese, knockout lyrics. And everyone's doing lovely drabbles.
The Lady and the Sergeant
... for the reasons Bev gave. If, that is, the Lady and the Tramp allusion is not too on the nose.
t has a moment where he imagines cute puppies slurping spaghetti and rubbing noses
t regrets the "on the nose" thing he wrote above
Bev, I like the rhythm, but I'm afraid its too cute. I'm trying really hard to avoid the cute on this one.
I'm not really a fan of "The Lady and the Sergeant." One problem is the word sergeant, which can mean too many things. Also, I'm afraid it makes me think of a '40s movie with Mae West. Random brainstorming: A Soldier's Lady. An Unsuitable Alliance. The Last Campaign. Anna's Honor. Anna's War. A Separate Truce.
