It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"A schizophrenic psychic and a sociopathic spy walk into a bar..."

No, no. Victor needs to write that one.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Dear God. I think I AM writing that one!

PLEEEEEEEI!

So is Wes back at his apartment, post-Buffy getting off without him?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, yes.

He's written in cursive with a 2.5 pencil at the moment.

And interrupted occasionally by the all-human AU Spike/Lorne plotting.

Hey, ye of deep instincts when it comes to our equine friends, a fiction (as opposed to fic) related query.

Remember Lord Callowen's horse in "Matty"? The grey? Lothian?

I have Charlotte, his daughter, on horseback at the moment, cantering across several acres of the Callowen lands to go visit the Lady Susanna's mausoleum. Remembering that she's a big girl - six foot tall in her bare feet - and essentially raised on horseback, what do you think she'd be riding? And if the lord of the manor's big gelding is called Lothian, what on earth would Char's mount be?

The horse isn't a throwaway; it's about to go nuts when it gets close to a certain patch of ground, and Char's going to have to fight to control it and not get herself badly dinged up.

Poor Wesley. Good thing he seems to like suffering.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I vote chestnut hunter, gelding, warmblood. English-bred, heavier boned than a thoroughbred, big enough to be in scale for a large woman, but a bit more placid and easy to control. With that hair she'd look fine on a chestnut.

By easier to control, I mean a freakout would be less freaky than with a hotblooded thoroughbred. Don't have the names of the breeds to hand, but hunter should do it.

Back to read erika's and shrift's.

Oh, definitely a nice solid hunter. I'm thinking in the 16 hands height.

But the name, the name, the name. Her father's horse was almost catlike for me - I knew the animal's name was Lothian. And since his hawk is named Gaheris, after one of the Lothian boys, I sense a theme. But there weren't really any placid Lothian boys in the Arthurian legend.

And anyway, it's Char's horse. Shit, I need a name.....

Would she name it something romantic as a weakness or for snark? You know, big strong no-nonsense sort of woman--named her horse Galahad or something? Or to poke fun at dear dad? I don't know my mythology well enough to suggest anything that isn't arthurian. Brains consistency of slush tonight. This morning.

shrift, I left feedback in LJ. I'm arliss. Damn, woman.

And erika, I just sit back and watch it all unspool from your mind. I'm so amazed at how "effortlessly" you come up with these scenarios and riffs and how concretely and consistently you nail the voices. As Deb says, you gots voice.

I'm wondering if, Char being Char, she wouldn't name a big chestnut gelding something like "Blondie".
