'Objects In Space'


The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

You have not seem some of the mansucripts I've edited, especially lately. Believe me, this would be FUN.

Also, it's not like thirty-five people just jumped in here offering epic stories. We should talk about it and see who wants to participate.

And if people don't want me to edit it, I would ... not! No big. I'm just completely willing to do it and very good at organizing as well as editing.

I think with an anthology we wouldn't be looking for epic stories. Hee.

What kind of stories would we be looking for? Generally, anthologies have a theme.

“Not dead yet!”

I would be up for that.

And I've got stuff around that I could definitely expand upon. God, it would be FUN to write just for the fun of writing again. I think that's what I really need right now.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Oh, that is an intriguing idea. I can't promise I'd write something for it (although I would like to), but I would definitely buy it.

I don't think we'd need a theme. It could just be a collection of short fiction. Or, like, "original writing under fifteen thousand words" or something.

Because books.

I also think it could take us a long time to consense on a theme. And if we did want to use one, it should be extremely broad -- like, "Buffistas Explore Darkness" not vampire stories, or even stories about goats, or what have you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Buffistas explore vampire goats.

For that I might be willing to make an exception ...

Buffistas explore vampire goats.

Only if they faint at the end.

Oh, I think I'd have no problems turning in something under fifteen thousand. Heh. I'll get back to you when I break five thousand.
