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.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
lalalala, we are enabling Plei, lalalala.....
I've got oodles of spare discipline. Shall I send with cookies?

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.

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?

It's going well, I guess. Seriously, though, if anybody's really good at chemistry, and wants to talk me through some things on AIM some time, I would *so* appreciate it. There are no words.
Ah.
In other news, I now have *four* things that didn't happen to Willow.
t ed. ... actually, I tempted to run it through one last edit and then post the fucker, and forget about the Willow/Baith sex.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Connie, in case it gets skipped, I said this in Bitches:
ION, I just read Connie's "Steam" and "Touch" and if I knew how to say 'gah' in twenty different languages I would.
There were so many *good* and *right* lines, but one that stuck was Xander's "I'd stake you but your dust would clog the pool filter and I like this place." Frelling priceless and so dead on.
Pretty much loving all the fic, really. Ita's 1st person Mary Sue, Plei's Buffy/Wes (although I'm a bit confused on that one. I assume there's stuff I'm just supposed to figure out but if someone could nilly me the beginning....), the FF/HH bit, the pluperfect challenge, all of it.
Bravo, bitches, write on!
