There once was a Scooby named Xander...

shadowscastI'm feeling bad about never posting anymore, so I tried to write a Spike/Xander limerick. Xander rhymes with meander and slander. Duster rhymes with lustre. I couldn't make it work. Oh well!
I'm plugging away at my Fall for S/X piece. Ironically, this is leaving me with no time to read anybody else's Fall for S/X stuff. (Well, and RL is getting in the way somewhat too.)
I'm gaining much deeper appreciation for the WIP format (which I am notably not using for this fic). I've been working on the story for nearly three months now, and haven't posted a thing. Since writing always constituted my major involvement in fandom, I'm feeling kind of isolated now. Thank goodness for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yourlibrarian, who's been beta-reading and giving me feedback as I go along—without her support I don't know if I would've managed to keep this up!
Of course, this is all my own fault for not being able to write something less than 20,000 words long. :P

And I've much respect for your writing. Go you! I wish you continued luck with your story. We'll all have to give you loads of fb and praise when it's done to make up for the lack of in progress comments.

("Stung" kinda rhymes, but doesn't pluralize.)

Cough.
Well, we'll all be glad to see it when it makes it out of the gate. Hope you're doing OK over there.

Date: 2006-10-25 06:52 am (UTC)Yeah, I can see how that would get busy - if only you were teaching college slash fanfiction!

Date: 2006-11-03 07:41 am (UTC)Also, I was so pleasently suprised to read that you are in Montreal, as I am as well, and have yet to come across a buffy fanfic writer in the flesh. It's lonely!
Funny, then that I have also delved into S/X, though I mostly write spuffy(or really wrote, as I don't have time to write so much anymore, and when I do I tend to write Lost fic). But I always, always am a sucker for sick!Spike. What is up with that anyway? Is it the "kiss it better complex" or something?
SOooo... thats me getting overly excited and maybe scaring you a bit. If you're interested in my s/x story (guaranteed to please, but a short incomplete mind you... ) it's here:

can't wait for you continue fragments! Great work!

Date: 2006-11-03 02:15 pm (UTC)I can't read your story right now (right now I'm at work, and in a general "right now" sense I'm too busy writing to read) but I'll try to remember to follow up on that later!
And hey, if you wanna meet up someday, I wouldn't be averse. I have had the pleasure of meeting other Buffy writers in the flesh, and it's always been awesome.
