The WIP That Wasn’t

Sep 07, 2010 11:03

You might have noticed me posting the occasional fic commentary - mostly for lavastar, who is insatiable.

But I got stuck. Because she requested a commentary for Not, Now, which… well, it’d probably end up being 5% fic and 95% commentary, and most of it would have very little to do with what I’ve written. Mainly because the actual story I’ve got in my ( Read more... )

That would be pretty damned awesome.

(I have a never-to-be-written epic wherein Buffy is the one to accidentally kill Alan Finch, and she panics and Faith helps her run away to L.A., where they eventually end up working as freelance enforcers for Wolfram & Hart after Lilah Morgan makes Buffy an offer she can't refuse (to save Joyce from dying of that aneurysm) and having an angsty triangle-cum-rivalry with arch-nemesis Angel...)

Ooh. How fascinating...

That is one heck of a fascinating "what-might-have-been". Wow! I like thy brain.

Why, thank you. :D

Wow. I'm sorry you couldn't write it, too! As you say, Not, Now barely hints around the edges of this larger narrative.

*loves your icon*

You can see how writing a fic commentary for that one would have been quite tricky...

That is epic! I absolutely love the things you can do with Buffy in alternate timelines. I wish I could have seen it written ( ... )

Ooh! Write it! Write it!

*waves pompoms*

Wow, that is so much more incredibly complex than I was imagining from Not, Now. I would totally have read the heck out of this.

I think we probably all have an epic-that-never-was. Or in my case, several, lol.

And thanks again for the heads up - but I am now confused about your DW usage. I know you said you were transferring your fic over slowly, but I somehow got the impression you were crossposting current stuff, so I didn't add you to the LJ filter. I didn't see this post at DW, though, which makes me think I was wrong about that. Should I keep following your LJ for the complete Deird experience?

I'm glad you enjoyed reading about it, even if you never got to read it! :)

Yes, I'm mostly crossposting from DW now - but I thought it'd look pretty weird saying "you might have noticed me posting commentaries..." when I've never done anything like that on DW. You should be able to keep up with me solely on DW - if there's anything extra here, I can always let you know...

Ah, that makes sense! :)
