'War Stories'


The Great Write Way  

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just sent a ton of stories out to be beta read by someone completely outside the fandom, who knows nothing of my life for the past four years.

I've already bitten my nails down to the almost-bleeding point.

I'm a third of the way finished with this, I think, if I follow my loose outline of how it should shape.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Breathe, Allyson. Breathe. It's all good.

And we're here as backup.

NILLY!

Will you beta? Beginning of Cruel Sister! And if so, which addy?

Tell me so I can send or not send, and then go sprawl on sofa and clutch aching skull. (edit: me, not you. You should not have whatever I've got right now.)

deb, I should have gone for the night already, so not before tomorrow, but I would love to (also, you got my second mail about GraveKeeper?). I think the university address is the safest (the one that ends with ac.il).

clutch aching skull

Feel-all-better-soon vibes to you.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Deb, insent.

I have to admit that I do watch NCIS, but only for the pretty. It's one of those shows that's much better in fanfic than it is on the air.

Anne, backsent.

And damn it, for some reason, I don't have Nilly's university email in my address book. Feh feh feh.

edit: No, wait, I do. I souldn't try to cope with a fever.

Goth girl and surly boss are a hoot to watch. He gives her looks of "Speak English, woman" and she calls him "my hero" as a term of address. The English pathologist hits most of my middle-aged Brit buttons, too. The young pretties are eh for me.
