Willow ,'Empty Places'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Betsy, I wouldn't send them Thackeray either.
I'd send them Stephen King and Michael McDowell and Peter Straub. Send them Shirley Jackson. Let them escape into horrors that deal with ghosts, demons, hauntings - someone else's horror that they don't have to believe in or share or live in.
edit: d'oh! Mysteries, of course.
Okay here's a random question. I have this Angel spec that I wrote a year or so ago. Due to recent events, it's been on my mind a lot. I pulled it out the other day and reread and discovered that I still really like it a lot. I need to make a couple of small changes but I think it's a strong sample. I was toying with the idea of submitting it to a contest or two so I looked up a few of the usual ones and discovered that the Sautter deadline is tomorrow.
How insane would it be to go home tonight, make the necessary changes and send the damn thing in tomorrow?
Thoughts? Opinions?
Do it. Be brave and do it.
I'd tell you to do it.
But even more, I think I'd want to *read* it....
Okay. So I have three votes for not-insanity. (And thanks for that BTW)
Looks like I'm going home to do some work...
Fourth not-insane vote, BTW.
Kristen, why on earth not? Go for it, honey. Draw blood.
I also vote not-insane. Can't win if you don't play!
I dunno what the Sautter is (unless it's the script competition a friend of mine just signed up to judge scripts for), but I say, send it in!
Deena is a goddess and John is freaking BRILLIANT.
I love everyone right now.
