Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Plei, have I mentioned less than a hundred times recently how splendid your Wesley is? The reason I notice the tiny stuff is because you get him down so perfectly.
Am, I'm still giggling over here.

"Can you stop being a penguin?"
"Robots aren't generally mentioned."
Whee. Makes me regret not seeing the show.

Plei, my god. I am loving this. Please whip those 3,000 other words into shape.

Can I borrow the discipline I sent you? I need to finish the writing spurt I'm on before I can do much more whipping. (Writing this in a linear fashion has been interesting. It means writing to a point, then going back, re-reading, and seeing what I need to alter/expand/include so that things aren't just in my head. It's kinda cool.)

Thanks for all the fish.
Hey!
I will comment on fic later - just now I'll see YAY!connie and BWAH!Am and I'llReadItLater,Really!PMM.
But I want to add my two cents to the POV conversation. For me first person is easy to write. The character speaks to me (through me) and I'm just dictating. Second person is - to me - exactly the same as first person but at a distance. It's the character observing themselves and describing it.
I don't think that I need to be brave to write first person. I'm not inserting myself into the story - 'I' doesn't equal 'me'. But I notice that things that didn't seem inportant in Xander's POV (for example) were really important to Spike in ATF. It really was an interesting experience. And I cried quite a bit during the writing - just as I would if they had been telling the story to me.
Okay, back to work.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Even dyin' don't go smooth. I love that, Am.

Lizard! I haven't seen you nearly enough, what with you being in love and busy and all. Are you really and truly OK? Can I help with anything that's not OK?
