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.

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?

Lizard!

How is it going? Haven't seen you around for a while.

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.

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!

t applauds wildly till she falls off chair

edited to clarify what i said in bitches and what i didn't

smonster, I already thanked you in Bitches, but I'm delighted to thank you again.

(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....),

Gimme a second. I linked to the last part I'd posted, but probably not to the start.

And I'm delighted to say you're welcome again.

All this makes me want to try, but I've always been a better reader than a writer. Think I'll stick to filk.

Plei, I had read that one, and maybe the one before. Was that the first one? Aww, hell, just link for me, baby. Link it like I like it.

(say that 5 times fast)
