Fred absolutely enjoys the power. Did you notice the whole taser thing?

And I'm still *so* angry that Gunn stole her revenge. That's just so damn patronising.

I miss old Cordy, too.

I forgot about the taser thing . . . the Gunn revenge-stealing - NAFDA, no?

Alot of what Fred does still seems to come purely from fear -- I think even tasering Connor was a fear response. But fear-biters are dangerous and unpredictable.

I think it is, but isn't this NAFDA?

I don't think it came from fear. It came from anger and hurt and revenge.

Wait - - is bitchy fic NAFDA and regular-fic not?

Uh, dunno. I'll go whitefont, anyway.

But since Bitches is NAFDA, I'd assume that Bitchy fic is too.

Maybe this goes in Literary or the main writing thread, but I wanted to share my favorite writing book. Ray Bradbury's "Zen in the Art of Writing." I'm not sure he chose the title, 'cause he never struck me as that Zen, but I adore the book. It's not so much techniques and plot structure, but more about about the joy and passion of writing and creating stories. He talks about finding his own ideas and having the courage to go his own way. I love this book.

I'll have to see if I can dig that up.

Writing books I *adore*:

Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott
Writing Down the Bones, by Natalie Goldberg
How to Write a Dirty Story, by Susie Bright (it IS about writing porn, but it's also very much about writing in general)
So You Want to Be a Writer, by Brenda Ueland
