Hee.
It's been a Job Hunt Night, you see.
And those are bad. Worse than bad, really.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Thanks for all the fish.
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.

Up with the sun
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

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? t /obvious statements

My reaction to the mid-level of self-consciousness is to flaunt it.
I've been told that's why I have no boyfriend, because I'm a little quick on the draw with dirty laundry.
