FIRST THINGS FIRST, to my unnamed friend - yes you are my friend, stop making that face - your compliment of the day is that I'm glad you're my friend, because you make my life more interesting. In a good way. [ makes a heart with her hands ] Deal with it, jackass!

I'm actually an English professor. Well. Sort of. I teach freshman composition, anyway. Er. The point is I have a master's degree in writing, so I could beta-read it.

Fair warning, I can be pretty vicious about that.

I could definitely use a grammar look over! And as it's creative writing, I'll be sure to ignore anything that would ruin the way the story flows. ;)

[parasomnist]

I will still give advice on the flow if you want it though.

While I appreciate the offer, I've been doing this since I was 15 and living off the proceeds since I was 18.
Think I can manage. ;)

An amazing dramatic romance serial, eh? I think I'm going to need a bit more detail before I'm willing to offer my magnificent reading skills to you.

[ here, have a sparkly blonde who will dramatically summarize ]

Well, I don't want to say too much, or ruin it for you or anyone else, buuuuut it's about a girl who falls in love with the person she hates most in the world, and they basically have a hate romance. And at the same time, she falls in a more sweet romantic sort of love with someone else, and she has to figure out which relationship she wants to keep, or if she wants to keep either, and I think it's pretty awesome.

Here's a question for you, then:

Why can't she just have both?

I think you've got a fundamental plot issue right there!

Who says that's not how it's going to end?

Ooh, yes! I'm defurnitely interested in reading your stuff. [she bounces a little excitedly, looking as if she's just barely resisted waving her hand into the camera] How much have you gotten done, anyway?

[ happyface! ]

Yay, good! I was hoping you'd want to! I've got four parts done, out of who KNOWS how many. I decided to play around a bit with kismesises as well as matesprits and someone who's not really used to having a more complex sort of romantic structure and I think it'll be good. I hope so.

I'm pawsitive it'll be lots of fun to read, hee hee! Purrticularly if there's someone really confused in the story, that's always lots of fun to laugh about.

[notthatbuffy]

Haha, it totally is. And then sometimes you want to go "Oh come on, you're obviously in love with him, just kiss him already!"

I'll send what I've got to you later today, okie-dokey?

Voice; I'm so sorry...

[tasteoblivion]

Um! Well I do have a lot of free time. Since I'm not allowed out of the house...

So I'd love to read it!

You are not subjecting me to an hour of reading and drinking cocoa and sobbing into pages. Never again.

That's not fair! I go along with your diabolical schemes sometimes! I should definitely be able to read whatever I want! Even if it is romance! And what's wrong with romance anyway?

What do you think is wrong with it, princess?

voice; AHAHAHAHAH

[notthatbuffy]

[ hesitantly ]

Um... well, personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a story that moves you emotionally.

Also cocoa is awesome, so fuck you, grumpy dude.

Voice; All awful characters all the time >:) > :) >:) > :)

[tasteoblivion]

Yes yes blah blah blah.
Would you like to know what emotionally moves me?
The dying screams of my enemies.

[It really is a pity she can't see the utterly horrified face Doc is making at that.]

Voice; she's probably making a similar expression, honestly

[notthatbuffy]

...You are a very angry, violent person. I think the other guy is much nicer than you.
