When the world seems to say,
Happy Friday!
To you and me.

Okay, so not my best work in re-writing song lyrics, but it fits.  I forget the author's name at the moment, but there's a wonderful fic out there called "Better to Give Than to Receive", a christmas Spuffy, featuring love poems re-written.  I'm always incredibly impressed with the work on the poems when I read it.  You should check it out; I believe it's at Spuffy Realm, and possibly BSV.  Those are the two I frequent most, so it must be one of them.  For some reason Vampire's Kiss hasn't been loading correctly on my home computer, so I only read there now-a-days if it's a story/author who doesn't post anywhere else.

I'm temped to try my hand at this; either with poems or songs, but I'm gonna pass for now.  Maybe after I finish a few things.

Oh, and my beta kinda freaked when I told her I was writing a Sparla fic, so if anyone is available/interested, let me know.  I don't have much done, but I think it could use another set of eyes.  Some things I'm prepared to post un-beta-ed, some not so much.  That one is falling under not so much, at the moment.  I think it's because the sex is a bit more graphic than I usually write, and I get worried about making it seem sensual and accurate to both biology and the characters.

I have a huge problem writing NC-17 stories (although, certainly not reading them, LOL).  I've read so many, with really beautiful writing, that I don't want to be derivative.  And it seems like everything's been done.  With Spuffy, I've ended up skimming over the action, much the way I used to with my X-Files stories.  I think with two vampires, though, where the sex is more about...Well, sex...Than love or romance, a bit more detail is needed.

My muse seems to be on her way back from vacation; I'm busting out all over with ideas right now.  One is based on a Bloodshedverse challenge, the other just popped up like a little bunny, and isn't showing any signs of running away.  I'm not sure if it'll ever get written, as it involved Giles and voyeurism, but I never thought I'd get all into writing Spike/Darla either, so who knows.

Enough ranting, off to work now.  Latah!

Well, I'm tempted to volunteer. Still, if you'd prefer a less male audience, you might try my friend 'Nika. Magritte can put you in touch with her, and she's a decent editor and has been known to enjoy reading fanfiction.

Writing bad smut is easy; writing bad smut good is hard. Which I guess could have a double meaning ...
