Anne, I really loved that. Two things snagged:
a couple of shattered bottles of whiskey; should be whiskey bottles?
After Buffy come back from the dead; should be came.
I didn't understand what was going on at first, but by the second post I was totally immersed. That was good story.
I like incorporations of Jesse too, and I can see him very clearly indeed.
Brava, Anne.
Fay, I use "hell and the devil confound it!" a lot.
Excellent! "Od's Bodkins" is nice too. And "S'blood!"
Anne, that's quite nice.
Fay, love, would you like me to do some beta work on that? I would so, so love to. Would you email it me as a Word doc?
Btw? It was here that someone was asking about lay and lie?
"Lay" is both the
past tense
of the verb which is "lie" in the present and
intransitive,
as in, you lie down; and "lay" is also the
present tense
of the
transitive
verb. As in, sex, or laying down sticks.
(Lorrie Moore line: a teacher explaining to her writing student, you don't
lay down.
And then something about
feathers
in uncomfortable places...!)
Anne, it made me sad. But in a way that felt right. Poor Xander.
Anne, that's great. Wonderful Xander.
Anne, it made me cry. So lovely.
Wonderful Xander insight. Very visual. I loved it.
I think I've got Am writing it! Yeah! Go me!
Go You indeed, you fic-writing-enabler you.
I love your Drusilla.
Anne, I've said this before, but I'll say it again: that's a very good story.
