Plus crossovers, as part of that - letting people meet who don't (or can't) in canon is endlessly fascinating to me.
Huh. That's interesting. Not because I didn't know this already, but I just realized I'm not sure I'd know how to do the same. I really need to *see* some of that interaction before I can write it.
I have been known to edit stuff for the sake of a comma.
So much depends on a comma.
My rule of thumb is generally that you should be able to put the characters in an empty room and just watch them spark off each other.
That is an excellent rule. And makes me want to stick characters in empty rooms to see what will happen. Heh heh heh.
Quite straightforward, although I wish I was more lyrical.As people do this meme, I've been noticing different patterns in their writing. You're one of the people who include very little sense detail in their work. Not that there ( ... )

Personally I was just bored! *g* (Although I'd done about half earlier on, so it was only a question of finishing.)

Well it helps if you know it'll NEVER happen, so canon will never contradict you... ;)

Indeed. And I used abuse exclamation marks terribly - I read old fics and wince.

*laughs* How long now before I get to see it?
You're one of the people who include very little sense detail in their work. Not that there aren't other ways to be lyrical, but it does tend to contribute. (Errr--that's not a crit, just an observation :-\)Oh no worries, I'm very aware of this ( ... )

Ahhh . . . Fair point.

Lol. I feel like LJ has been a whole education in exclamation marks. I'm not inclined to use them myself, but you'd never be understood without them round these parts. It's like my daily regimen of enthusiasm: !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!! *squee*
*laughs* How long now before I get to see it?Oh, ha. I was in fact thinking of sticking characters in actual bare rooms (and imagining that gif of Matt Smith running around in a circle and falling down), but that is rather like meta space too. Yeah, I extorted the fic exchange mod last night. She was trying to convince me to write something, and I said I couldn't write anything new until my old fic had cleared my brain and POST THE DAMN FICS ALREADY, THANK YOU (may have used slightly different words). She said she'd start getting them up today. I have told students they would be getting papers back " ( ... )

Indeed! Never underestimate the power of exclamation points. :)

I thought you might be, but I couldn't not go there...
(and imagining that gif of Matt Smith running around in a circle and falling down)
That never gets old!
I have told students they would be getting papers back "tomorrow," though, and can sort of see where this is going.
I shall cross my fingers!
You do the same in shorter fics too, though. But that's fine--it's your style.
Ah, but see the fic I mention in the meme (The Tale Of Spike's New Princess) is very lyrical. Also full of smut, mind you, so maybe that's got something to do with it? ;)
Cool :-)Thanks. The icon is from one of my drawings ( ... )
