on the seventh day of Christmas...

....my true love gave to me seven unwilling observers, six questions asked, five skeletons, four things that puzzle, three special treats, two changed directions and a protective shield.

So I am very late in posting this year. I had to prioritise my Masters essay in order to get it submitted (thankfully all done) and so decided to take advantage

Oh man, the Bully one and the second Primeval one are awesome if very grim. I really like this use of the prompt in both, and you really capture the horrible situations these characters are in.

I also really liked the Afro Samurai one, you made it really atmospheric.

(Clearly I like the trauma...)

And the first Primeval one is cute! I think the wish for the flashy memory eraser thing is entirely reasonable!

*goes to AO3 to review the Buffy fic*

You are Tallulah! :) I am learning how to use other websites - AO3 has lots of boxes to fill out for fics...I left many blank and it seemed to have no negative impact :)

I didn't mean for this day to be quite so trauma heavy but it's very hard to write happy stuff for Afro Samurai and then from there lots more trauma started. Even I felt sorry for Pete and I wrote him into that horrible situation.

I aaaaam! :)

I too am starting to get to grips with AO3 (though I usually find myself going back and adding more tags later - I can never think of any at first). On the other hand I like them because I can use them as an excuse to write a shorter fic summary.

Haha, I felt really bad about some of those death game-related fics I wrote. I think it's a good sign if you make yourself feel feelings with your own writing!

My biggest problem is I almost never title anything, and that box was mandatory I think. I can write 20,000+ words to a fic but coming up with a title is really hard.
