It's that time of week...
Apr. 20th, 2007 11:11 amWhen 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!
