I'll admit that Jackson's a better storyteller than JRR was

I'll admit that if you'll put 'for the medium of film' at the end. But we have a thread for that sort of debate now, so I won't say any more.

PMM, I thought the mark of being over-invested in a character was when you heard their voice instead of yours in your head?

(I do that with Drusilla from time to time. Spooky.)

I mean over-invested in the whole reading-writing-feedbacking circle of wank.

The other, well, it's par for the course. If I didn't hear the voices, I wouldn't write them (hush, Gunn, I've no time for you now).

'Circle of Wank'. Yes! It's the latest new religion from Buffistas.com!

Join the Circle of Wank and be saved!

(Hail Eris!)

It's not the hearing voice wanting to be written that bothers me, it's hearing Drusilla's voice telling me to listen to the dolly because the moon is sing that bothers me. Of course, that could be Drusilla-speak for 'write me some hot Spike-snuff-porn'. You never know.

You mean it's bad when you have voices like that? Because I listen to a small fanged stuffed bunny (who is TOO alive, quit looking at me like that, didn't any of you read The Velveteen Rabbit?)

You mean it's bad when you have voices like that?

Well, it's not too bad when they're fairly sane. I mean, hearing Xander telling me how much he wants to sleep with Spike is fine, good even. Hearing Luke Skywalker doesn't bother me. It's when it's Darth Vader and Drusilla I start to worry. I don't know why- it's pretty irrational.

After all, I don't worry about the fairies, or the gnomes, or the water sprities, or the wood nymphs, so why worry about vampires or the Sith? Really, I should worry less.

In writing, I'm all about the voices all the time. Ideas, they come from the voices.

In Absolution: Part I, I had to insert a whole chapter/section, because B. was threatening to go cave-slayer on me if I didn't. Then, in Part II, Angel requested the floor.

Who am I to resist?

(Unless I don't have time, Gunn. I'll get to you LATER.)

As a kid, I would have been seriously peeved by anything that wasn't a blow-by-blow adaptation of the book.

This is me. Still. (See, Teppy, we ARE the same person.)

Am, if you would like to bounce HP ideas off of me, my profile addy's good.

Hey, Anne, how you doing? Haven't seen you around in awhile, it seems.

(See, Teppy, we ARE the same person.)

If that's true, then I am a smoking HOTTIE.

Dude, we KNEW that.

Plei beat me to it.
