Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Good. I'm fairly new to betaing, so I'm never sure if I'm giving the right kind of feedback. But I'm really excited about this book.

And I almost bought a bathouse today, and I was thinking of you! Normally, I'd be thinking of Jilli, because it had a supercute bat insignia on it.

“Not dead yet!”

Anybody about for a beta? Longish chapter one-- reworked, of my skating romance. Agent Kate wanted more tension and I'm hoping I accomplished it.

How long are you willing to wait for input, Barb? I'm at work, where I can't really devote my attention to it, but I'd love to take a look at it.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm going to be tinkering all weekend, Sail, so no huge hurry, other than the typical author neuroses. *g* You want I should send?

Sure, send it to me at work, I can sneak a peek or two at it throughout the day. (It's very slow here, I have a week to go with nothing to do.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I added you, Stephanie.
