Xander ,'Lessons'
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
I ran a word count. It was 2300. I was a little shocked at that, because I'd thought I'd only added about 300 to the total.
Of course, I'm typing in Stuff What Happens Later, and realizing I still have 7.5 pages left to transcribe.
I think it will *most likely* wind up being 30,000-35,000 all told.
I'm at 24,000 (including the later-stuff I've typed) right now.

Oh dear. This makes me so happy. I've just loaded she loses a little each day, to start reading the whole story-so-far over again.
FWIW, I didn't see any errors. I wasn't looking for them. But I none jumped out at me.
They tend to leap out at me when I do a re-read, but I'm not scheduled for one for a couple weeks yet. (Having just done one last weekend.)
Eep. Okay, 2:30. Bedtime!
Sleep tight(er than I did)!
Started mine...
Whipping off his shirt, Xander wiped off his brow and chest, and grabbed one of the shovels. Anya stared for a second at Xander's intensity and started in at the foot of the grave.
Tara consoled Willow, who was starting to fall apart. "My fault," she cried, "it's all my fault. I should have known."
Goose. Bumps.
I wish I could do the challenge. Sheesh, even the 100-word challenge. My brain, she does not go for the fic-writing. I think I have an idea, though.

juliana - that's sort of what it's for. I have a long WIP and it's been lying dormant. Mostly likely, whatever I start in this game will end up incorporated into that story, eventually. Just write anything for a half an hour. So what if it sucks?
What I've written is very raw, and unproofed. I have a feeling I had trouble with verb tenses in the second half, because I wanted to keep the feeling that Buffy was telling the story to Faith as she was reliving it. I bounced from past to pluperfect without being careful. I haven't had a chance to pretty it up. Damned time limit.
I have to run.
Anne, please link yours here or in my comments, so people can find it. My story is friends' protected, because at some point, I will incorporate it into my long fic. If someone needs to be added, please give a shout.
I have arrived! I just got bitchslapped with 'Homicide" canon. Pissed me off for about thirty seconds...Good morning to you, too. And you guys are not betas. There, I feel better having cleared that up.I sent her a very standard "Thank you for taking an interest. You're right. Are you happy now?" e-mail. The "Drop Dead" was implied.
If it's not too raw, what was the canon point?
