Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
I'm glad people are liking the Dru bits. I've feared writing her.
Forces self to avoid finding the money to buy the DVDs, rope, and tickets East.
Huh. If I knew THAT was all it took to get you to visit...
Victor, consider yourself blessed that tonight, you've been the only thing standing between me and real darkness.
Cool. Usually, I get the complete opposite reaction. (:
Hee.
It's been a Job Hunt Night, you see.
And those are bad. Worse than bad, really.
Victor, it's lovely. I really want to read it again, all pieced together.
And, you know, it would be 'waiting' out the tide, because it's a seafarthing thing - waiting for the tide so you can set sail.
Deena, yes, altering should be alerting. Thank you.
Oh wow, Victor. I came into this story in the middle, and I'm already desperate to see what will happen next.
Connie, I like the way you're writing General!Xander.
It's a bit of a tangential question, but how do y'all feel about your SO's reading your fic? Not allowed? Same way you'd feel about them reading non-fan fic? Somewhere in between?
The closest thing I've had was my mom reading select portions of my fic, that I chose. It weirded me out a little, mainly because she didn't understand why I wasn't writing original fiction instead of fanfiction. She seemed to like it, and was praise-y, but I've not shown her anything since then.
Initial reaction... person I *know* reading my fic? Person who is not fannish? Freaks. Me. Out. But then, I feel much the same way about my original stuff unless I've actually written it for a set exercise.
Second reaction: having a person in my life I chould share my fic with, who would understand? Great! Want!
Elena, I like it. connie, Victor, I've got a long way behind, and have discovered I'm nearly as spoiler-phobic with fics as with shows. I will catch up soon, I hope.
I made my immediate family (all non-Buffy watchers) read my fic. Mother thought she'd raised a crazy lady, father and sister intrigued.
I'd let most anyone read it -- I'm almost abrasively defensive about it.
I'm almost abrasively defensive about it.
Yeah, I'm down with that -- OTOH bf knows way more about batman than I do.
abrasively defensive
That's interesting-- this phrase fits incrediably well with what I feel; and yet I react to feeling defensive by *not* showing people, by keeping it a hidden thing, practically a secret, while you react by showing everyone, no matter what they think.
We're totally different. Isn't it cool?
