Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

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.

Because books.

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.

Because books.

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What, you think we can't all come up with fifteen thousand words about goats?
