Anne, a question, then - is there another character present for this, in any or all of the scenes? A touchstone off of whom the character undergoing the memory-bleed can bounce the reaction?

Because I'd personally go for the almost saturated visual, with some very sharp, fast "holy shit" dialogue, to punch up the effect and power of the experience. But that's me. YMM very definitely V.

Yes, but not every single time. In some instances, the character has to mull over things on his or her own.

Are there then external things that suggest the view of history the character has is wrong, or do they have arrive at that conclusion purely from internal things?

It's a combination of the two. Something happens to one of the characters that compels the others to start searching their memories. Pretty soon, it's obvious to a couple of them that what they remember doesn't quite jibe with received history.

At the same time, one of the smarter characters realizes that there are certain things in their history that don't make a whole lot of sense once they look at them closely. It's similar to the feeling we get here on the board when we watch an episode and start to ask, "but how did Xander know where to go to find Buffy?" or "why is it that vampires can stand in indirect sunlight one minute and be fried by looking at a picture of the sun the next?" or even, "but William was wearing the wrong clothes for that kind of party at that point in history."

Dear God... my entire story has been inspired by fanwanking.

I see. I'd be inclinded to go for a selection of the things you mentioned, then. If there's going to be more than one episode of flashback, doing it one way for one character and subtly differently for another could be very effective.

Best kind.

What Am said.

Hmm. Cool. That really does help, y'all. Thanks!

I'm going to have Andrew and Wes watch The Lion in Winter.

Hee. The notion, she amuses.

Plei! One of my alltime favourite movies, one of my two favourite soundtracks.

Who is Andrew going to identify with? I'm thinking he'll lurve Phillip and Richard dealing....

So I need info on firearms. Gack.

What's a gun we could assume certain members of Wolfram and Hart might be carrying? And how many bullets to a clip?
