Plei, nice, way nice, way way nice. Was that their spelling of Alanna? Alonna? Alanna was almost my daughter's name, but her father (Alan) objected loudly.
Deena, re Buffy's voice in Steph's story, I got her trying to convince herself through a kind of spiritual torpor.
And re
You said they made love in the doorway. I want to know, standing up? laying across the lintel? On the steps? Just a little more detail?
Dead right - this is why I need input. Will fix in the morning....
Numfar, do the dance of wishing your printer were faster!
I'm pretty certain it's Alonna. I'll check the casefiles. We were in the car, so I didn't bother to double check.

Deena--and Perkins!--take your time, the thing is 106 pages in WordPerfect on my machine.

sound of my head hitting my desk. We drove 350 miles today, into the Sierra foothills, all over the place. Must. Sleep.
Alonna is how it's spelled in the shooting scripts.
Also, Steph, I've been thinking about your story. I was wondering about Buffy's voice. It's pretty good for this season, but, this season she's been kind of generic. My eyes glaze over when she starts lecturing. I really liked the point where she got harsh with the SiT because it didn't read monotone. However, I'm thinking specifically of the point where she's telling Faith that they've tried to kill one another in the past but now they have to work together. Faith has already said she's come to help, so Buffy is doing her boring speechifying thing again, at least that's how it read to me.
That's what I intended, though. I don't mean to make her unsympathetic, but she IS having a season of speechifying.
Alonna is how it's spelled in the shooting scripts.
Ouch. Since the name is a feminisation of Alan, I'm curious about their papa.
Deena, just for you:
The album side wound down, the needle skipped to silence and clicked itself off. We made love in the doorway, standing up, me with my back bruising against the doorjamb, half under lamplight, half under starlight.
Better?
