Challenge #6 Response: Eric's Song
He drank, shot up, and burnt out. All to forget. He always wanted to forget. The desire had overcome him when alive, attributing to his death, but had consumed him as a reaper.

I mean, we, as writers, can just completely make something up. It has to fit (obviously he's from England and grew up there, and he died in the 60's, so he would've been born shortly after WWII, so continuity yaye) and some things I just can't believe. I'm a picky reader.
And I need to write more to DUtG. I'm in a rut with it. Probably cause a Buffy plot has been picking at me, and I've been working on it. But with Dizzy, I'm posting it on ff-dot-net, and getting responses that aren't that great, and I get terribly discouraged. I don't want to just throw them together. That's not how it goes. But garh!
There should be more series fics. They satisfy me. YOU SHOULD WRITE ONE. :D
