Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
By narrate, do you mean that you're telling the story in first person?
Yes, I mean telling the story, but in cases where the character is describing another character, her pov would be limited, not omniscient.
I've gotten completely stuck on my mega fic. I was using a 3rd person, ltd pov, but it's limiting me. I think I want each (main) character to tell his own bits of the story.
Thanks - Am-Chau and Dana.
I do a lot of 3rd person limited POV swapping. Each section (and sometimes they overlap, so I get the same scene or parts of from a different POV) with a different narrator/voice.
Absolution (my large-for-me fic) had five different character POVs.
I'll probably end up with 5. I know I'll at least end up with 3.
I distinctly remember just GLOWERING at Angel because he wanted to narrate. I was all like, "Hairloaf? Excuse me? What makes you think you get to say anything, fucko?"
But he insisted.
Finally caught up. I really enjoyed the Lilah/Buffy and the Mal/Simon. Of course, I want more V!Giles.
"It's all right. Post-thwarted-apocalypse relief sex is something that happens to the best of us."
This is so purely and evocatively Xander at his best, it nearly made me cry.
Suggestion (grammar) for the Lilah/Buffy? Remove the apostrophe from "Faith's". It's a plural, not a possessive. But making Winnifred Burkle look voluptuous? suhNERK!
Oh, thanks!
I was having massive typing issues last night (it was taking me about an hour to find each key) as I waited and waited for the back up of my main writing directory to finish burning.
(I edited to fix the worst of the typos, which were, well, bad, but the less obvious ones slipped through my net.)
Plei, I'm amazed you're even awake right now. BTW, do you need me in AIM for anything?
(Just went back and read Buffy/Xander, and you know what? It's about the only version and situation of that pairing I've ever come across that read naturally and right to me.)
Nah, I'm on the laptop, and won't be AIMing until after 5 (I may turn it on, but just to make quick pings; I prefer to use it on the one that's set up the way I need it to be set up) when we install the new motherboard.
The computer is EVIL. For the record.
I'll be holed up in here, missing my email.
Hotay. Writers Group tonight (Rosie is hosting, seafood lassagne, yum) but I'll be here until probably half past six.
Yes, I am evil and off-topic. But Plei has no email, yo!
