Heh, no it's not, but I do very much like the spatula in Spike's hands *cackles*. That was the important part. Thank you, hun. I know you put a lot of work into it. How do I stick it up as a banner? ---> is retarded.

only_passenger May 24 2007, 06:22:47 UTC

i see you figured it out!

that banner wasn't difficult. it was trying to do a spanking manip that was hard, and really only because i couldn't find a good base, even after looking at millions of porn sites.

but onto the important thing, your story! very nice, doll.

She made some inelegant moan in her throat and glared at him. “Shut up and keep doing it.”

i know this was in the ealier version too, but damn do i love this line. both the word inelegant and buffy's dialog. it encapsulates all of it really. she despises what he does and needs him not to stop.

Buffy picked up on the tremor of insecurity, his need for validation and her approval. But she wouldn’t give him those things, didn’t want him doting and sweet. She wanted the fire and anger, wanted him to feel it too, so she wasn’t alone in her pain.

yes! one thing i love about s6 spike is the way he's all, "well, hey. i do pain, and you do pain. let's do pain together." and then buffy's all, "ew, spike. i don't do pain with people. you're disgusting. i have to call you ( ... )

Thanks for the feedback, as always, S. I am proud of this chapter and really glad you liked the revised addition of Buffy's thought process to explain Spike cursing her out. Thank goodness for beta's, eh? Also, I love your, "hey, I do pain, and you do pain. lets do pain together" rant. You should make an animated icon! That so would fit both of our fic content.

That ended up better tahn the first time round ;)

But Spike still forgot his lighter :P

clawofcat May 24 2007, 05:22:33 UTC

Ah, well Spike hasn't left yet. When I post the next part (when is anyone's guess) it will continue on to the confrontation with the social worker. He'll definately have some interesting things to say. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Great google-moogle, Cat ( ... )

I had a big doofus-y smile on my face when I read your comments at work this morning. I'm really glad you liked it and your comments were actually really insightful to read. I hadn't thought about the metaphor for violence like that before. Awesome food for thought.

And you know what? Who cares if I write kink? Try your hand at it. No one is judging you or comparing you. I would love to read your take on it. Don't feel intimidated by me!

I also had a really great time at dinner tonight. Thanks for the great company and discussion. You rock, my friend.

And here's an icon just for you.

After I read the discussion about het kink yesterday I had to go and read something by you and I think you really got me hooked.

I love the way you get into the characters heads. You caught the twisted relationship between them so brilliantly.

I read that it was mentioned before, but I also found it great how natural the kinky elements came on. That's exactly the way I like them best.

clawofcat March 20 2008, 22:48:32 UTC

Thanks for your comments. I really like doing tight POVs because that's the one thing we never got on the show. You only know a character's motivation if they say it out loud. It's not like soap opera where you get the mental play by play, so by doing so it's helped me explore maybe why the characters acted the way they did in canon. This can also be somewhat problematic though if I try writing a character I'm not too familiar with, like Giles. Ugh. My Giles POV fic was such a disaster.

I also found it great how natural the kinky elements came on. That's exactly the way I like them best.Me too. I don't write epics. I do these one-shots that take a moment in time for these characters and then dig deep. And for some reason I like setting fics in the mundane. In houses, bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms. It's this sort of weird intersection where the unusual (say kink) converges with the domestic. That explosion, how it sort of rocks the space and the characters, is really fascinating to me ( ... )

So, back again from striking :)

It's wonderful to explore the underlying emotional currents in canon and I love how caught the desperation of S6 Buffy here.

Oh yes, that's the perfect way to put it in words! It gets so much hotter when the kink doesn't seem to be planned in advance.

And I always love to chat with the author. That you can so easily do that is one of the things I like best about fanfic (I even caught myself reading books and wanting to write the author this and that in comment lately)

dragonflylady77 September 4 2008, 02:27:31 UTC

Have to comment on the book thing.
I feel like that too, esp after getting into fanfic so much and chatting with authors. I read a book now and feel like giving feedback as I read it. *sigh*

dragonflylady77 September 4 2008, 02:25:34 UTC

Wow.
I suck with words, be forewarned.
You write them so well, I can feel her pain and self disgust and his desperation and his pain too. The kink just kinda happened almost naturally and isn't that just the best way?

You so totally rock. ^_^

clawofcat September 4 2008, 02:46:47 UTC

Thank you. Having just written "Burn Marks" and coming back to read this after your comment, I think this season and these characters are some of my best. I do a pretty good Faith though, too :)

It's certainly my favorite way. Because, usually, in my experience, that's how it is in RL. Sex doesn't come about in outlandish scenarios and I don't see why our dear heroes should have sex any differently. Just gotta keep it real, IMHO.

You so totally rock.
Woo! *rocks out* You rock, too. It's great to have such a frequent commenter like yourself. That way I get to know everyone over time, which is what makes this LJ experience really gratifying for me.

Cheers!

“What the hell does it take for you to hear the word “no,” Spike?”

“For you to start actually saying it!”
Forgot to comment about that. She kept pushing him away but she never really said no and meant it (and we all know where that ended up..)

Just about to read some of your Angel/Faith fic I found on the list up there. ;)
