I'm coming to realise that things I dash off in literally five minutes from idea to posting get more response than ones I slave over. Is something lost when we fiddle with 'em too much? Better punctuation and such, but a spark, a flow, disappears? Maybe if you're really good you can combine the two...
My Wes/Giles/Spike fic got started last night and I went to bed and lay awake for hours writing it in my head. Can't remember much now, but I hope it comes back to me as it was a lot of work and went rather well. Or maybe I dreamed that bit ::grin::
I just read an old annual of mine, printed in 1931; full of girls stories and poems. One bit made me smile. It's a series of cartoons about what a girl from 1861 would think if she woke up in 1931. I can't reproduce the pictures, but this is the text;
"She does not regret that chaperons still slumber.
But finds Valentine's day a disappointment.
She refuses several eligible but unromantic suitors,
being vastly intrigued by a handsome young chauffeur
Who unfortunately turns out to be her great-great-niece Geraldine."
Femslash! I'm profoundly shocked ;-)
