Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Host ,'Why We Fight'


The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I thought of Victor and Thessaly too, Liese, because I love poetry.

What about Deena? I know she's done some publishing, not sure if she writes too, but hey, we could use her expertise.

Also I like the idea of having a theme and including a variety of genres.

Because books.

Deena absolutely writes, as well.

Thrive to spite them

Can anyone participate even if you don't write a lot? When I was cleaning off my old computer and I found some poetry and a bit of fiction I started and it's made me want to write again. I'd love to participate in this if it's possible.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

What about a theme like "Vampires, Zombies and Things That Go Bump in the Night"?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I like the darkness theme kinda a lot. There's enough space there that we could go our separate Buffista directions without it getting too crowded in the middle.

eta: Oops! Not meaning to contradict, Ginger! I had the edit window open and was mulling.

I have to say, I like this best, too -- or better, I should say, than something as specific as Ginger's. It simply leaves more room to interpret, as Liese says.

askye, I've already said I think this should be open to anyone who wants to contribute, with the caveat that you might be asked to revise or otherwise edit. I don't know if we're consensing on that or what we're deciding, though.

I kinda skimmed. Thanks for the clarification.
