It's a dry heat

Now is the time for all native Arizonans to roll down their windows and drive around with the air conditioner off, sneering at the wussy snowbirds who think 110 is hot. Or at least, it's time for me to do that. We do have the air conditioning on at home, but we keep it set above 80.

We're gonna see Prisoner of Azkaban tomorrow, along with half ( Read more... )

Better to have characters that are fucking wonderful rather than just fucked up, my dear. (Sorry, I'm having a very profane week.)

I was at the Slayage Conference last week, and I hope your ears were burning in a nice way. Your fic was mentioned by lots of admiring people, and one of the organizers came close to squeeing when she found out you'd updated since she last checked.

Really? (stupid, dorky grin here)

Really. And most of the comments were along the lines of "Barb? I love her writing!" (Some of the time, that was me, of course.) Also, specific praise for the way you wrote vamp Willow. I think you were mentioned in one of the papers I didn't get to hear because of my not-lost luggage problem (the boring story is on my lj), but I've asked for copies. I still haven't gotten them, though.

Love the icon! Um, are tips 1-3 available to be seen anywhere? (eager puppy dog eyes)

missmurchison June 3 2004, 21:25:14 UTC

Thanks! Yes, they're in my pictures on my LJ. I think I've been lazy and not added them to my icon page yet, but take whatever you want!

Better to have characters that are fucking wonderful rather than just fucked up, my dear.What Miss M' said. I adore the characters in your 'verse. It's a joy to read Buffy & Spike in a relationship where their love and commitment to each other inspire them to find creative ways and means to overcome/workaround their difficulties. That's one of my favorite aspects of your work; your exploration of how Buffy and Spike defy (in wonderful specifics) all the problems and obstacles that should, in the best judgement (and judgmental opinions) of her friends and family be insurmountable. Whenever someone tells me that Buffy and souless Spike could never be a viable couple I tell them that I've seen their relationship credibly developed and sustained too many times in quality fanfic to ever doubt it, and point them to NE as one of the finest examples. Your characters behavior and speech are vividly realistic, and their present circumstances developed utterly naturally throughout the series. Their way has never been smooth and all the bumps ( ... )
