Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

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.

Because books.

I like the darkness theme kinda a lot. There's enough space there that we could go our separate Buffista directions without it getting too crowded in the middle.

I have to say, I like this best, too -- or better, I should say, than something as specific as Ginger's. It simply leaves more room to interpret, as Liese says.

askye, I've already said I think this should be open to anyone who wants to contribute, with the caveat that you might be asked to revise or otherwise edit. I don't know if we're consensing on that or what we're deciding, though.

Thrive to spite them

I kinda skimmed. Thanks for the clarification.

That wasn't a "you skimmer!" smack, by the way. I'm just reiterating that *I* said that, but I'm not sure how everyone feels.

God, I suck when I type fast.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hand!

But not the Hand. Ninjas don't write. They lurk between the lines.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The lurkers support you in leading?

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, with darkness as a general theme, I can go into the emotional angsty places I do well-- vampires and zombies... NSM, I'm afraid.

ETA: Not to say that the vampires and zombies aren't great themes-- they are and I know we have so many writers here who could just kick ass at it-- but for me, it would be too much like work. With a more general theme, I can be freer. But whatever works for everyone.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

With vampires, etc., I was thinking about all the different ways things and people can be soul sucking and brain dead and scary and how I would expect such different takes on the concepts from this group.

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

I like this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it!

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

This will be fun!

Is your hand up, Anne?
