I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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'm glad you went, Sox. I'm very sad about LA Banks and feel badly for her family and friends...and readers.

I'm glad you're walking. Writing's hard enough without dealing with supercilious trolls.

ION, anyone got a few minutes to beta a personal essay I'm sending out this week? I've re-worked it a bit; I think a couple of peeps beta'd it in April.

It's short - 930 words, and I'd like to send the query and the sub out early next week.

Any recs on a title would be great, also. E-me at profile addy if you're interested.

I flung the new first chapter of Cog your way, Sox. Thanks.

not your mom's socks.

Thanks Gud! Gmail's being a mule and won't let me dl it, but I'll try again in a bit.

Erin, I can't look at anything more until midweek, but would be happy to do it then.

Thanks, Sox! I know you're busy, but if I haven't had eyes-on by then, I'll toss it your way.

I'd volunteer, but an essay sounds a bit above my abilities.

Oh, it's just a personal narrative for a possible magazine sale, Gud. Not academic at all.

I'd be happy to take a look and give my unqualified opinions.

Sure, Gud! Thanks, and insending.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are you sure they are displaying it?

Hmm. I poked around, ita, and you're right. As usual.

It's just coincidence that the last three people I looked for profile addy's didn't have one, and I assumed I tweaked my CSS wrong.
