Yeah. Her stuff is consistently well-written, but some of it just shines.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'd love to see Dollard fasten on the one voice; just from skimming a couple, it felt almost as if she was unsure as to whether it was OK to stick with her own voice for a particular character, or a particular kind of story.
If she does keep what felt like her own voice (Red Flag had it, in spades, on every level), she'd be a total killer. Beautiful work.
And of course, there's no way for me to tell her that without sounding like a pompous arrogant pedant. Which I'm not (a pedant).

Hey! I got a request on Silverlake to archive "Redux"!
I forgot how seductive archive requests are.
I don't know where "Graveyard Shift" (post-"The Gift," Spike/Willow-ish) is archived, because I let my hotmail account lapse and lost all my feedback e-mail on that fic. Damn it. But I got a good handful of archive requests on that one.
Also, I think "Persuasion" (that little Spike/Giles bathtub-chains fic) is archived somewhere, but again, I lost all the e-mails.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I think "Oedipus Paradox" was archived at BBF, and I keep meaning to submit it to Glass Onion.
Teppy, archive requests are seductive. It's also a kick seeing your fic on someone's rec list. Oddly enough, I was recced on a French site. Go figure.

Oh, man. Archive requests are the BOMB.
Reset and Body Shots both got at least one.
I'm proudest, however, of Triptych being on Campfire Tales.

The thing-that-go-bump-in-the-night archive. Kita runs it, IIRC.
Dana or someone, do you know the link?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Not offhand, although if it's Kita's, it might be on ficbitch.com.
