These were going to lead up to something femslashy

[morningafter2]

But it didn't work out. I suppose this is more of a prelude to femslash, having nothing to do with any canonical plot, set around the beginning of the series.

In other words, a meaningless attempt to get the feel for a fandom that I'm too fond of to just let go.

Okay...yes! Absolutely lovely! Did I know that you wrote? I cannot recall if I knew that before but I am not going to forget it now. Thank you! You have more of your writing posted? Is it tagged in some special way?

Beautiful!

BTW, Tiff is watching the Cubs game on ESPN but when it's over, we'd love to try to play MKWii again! ;)

Thank you! Hopefully, I'll manage to continue writing for this fandom and not burn out on it like I do every other one.

And I'm pretty sure you knew that I write, but it's been over a year since I last wrote anything and therefore forgetting is totally understandable. I've got some of my stuff here, some on even_angels_, and if one sorts through the insane amount of tags I have on my Journal, I think most of my writing can be found there under about twenty different tags. ;)

And I'm all for trying again. Just drop me a line when you're ready.

This was great! I enjoyed it! The first sentence was especially awesome. :)

[morningafter2]

Thank you!

What's your icon from, by the way?

Season two of Angel: the Series.

[triggerhappy]

This was very lovely. :D

The first stays completely true to the series, and kind of summarizes what's going on for a good part of the show. The second seems like it would come before the first chronologically, in which case it would fit very nicely. Overall, they have a very good feel.

[morningafter2]

Well, no. The second can't go before the first, because it shows the progression of Xena's mindset as the first season goes on (at least, how I saw it).

In the first, Xena is kind of irritated by Gabrielle, but is warming up to her.

In the second, Xena's officially decided that she doesn't mind the constant pain in her ass that is Gabrielle, but we're also seeing that really annoying self-sacrificing part of Xena that pops up from time to time. She knows she's not good for Gabrielle (or at least for Gabrielle's innocence), but at the same time she wants Gabrielle around, so she can't quite bring herself to put actual effort into convincing her to leave. The second one is Xena's rationalization.

[kamisamaa99]

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now. I don't know how I misinterpreted. Guess I just missed the link of the word "tomorrow" between the two.

[morningafter2]

Yeah, the tomorrow bit was what really joined them, for me. That was pretty much the entire purpose of those pieces, actually. ^_^;
