Questions Post #10
-Why did they fuck with Spike and Angel's ages so much? Were they really just not paying attention to what had come before, or were there reasons all the dates got switched around?
-Ok, is it completely OFF to think Spike might like musicals? There's that "76 trombone" line, and he's seen Les Mis in order to tell Angel it's not all that. Any other proof?
-Can Angel ice skate? Don't you think when he asked Buffy to ice skate in What's My Line Part 1 he meant to skate himself? Can David Boreanaz ice skate? How come there's not more cheesy ice!fic? I...I wrote a fic in which Angel says he's going to teach Connor to skate. It was an accident!
-How do you you prefer chapters to be doled out in long fics? Do you want 'em short, so you can zip through 'em? Do you want them just as long as it takes, to cover a scene or get to the point, whether it's 2 pages or 20? Or do you like them long?
-How about the posting of long fics? I've learned from experience a bunch of people stay away from WIPs, but what if *ahem* someone had a really long *finished* fic--would you still want them to post a chapter at a time? How have other people handled this in the past?
-I know writers are whores and always like in depth fb. But as an fb-er do you ever feel slightly uncomfortable leaving extremely long fb? What if the writer replies to your fb, and you want to reply back, does it feel weird having a long conversation in the fb thread of the story? What if the conversation has veered into meta/squee/something not fb, do you ever feel like the writer might not want to talk about it there because it's in the fb thread?
-Picture Anya in your head really quick. Did you think of her as bright blonde/dirty blonde/honey-light-brunette/dark brunette? Short or midlength hair? Curly or straight?
-Is there any change in Anya's soul/conscience/sense of morality/etc when she turns from a demon to a human, and vice versa?
-Has anyone ever done any meta/had an explanation for why Anya liked Wishverse? In "The Wish", she says it's both "wonderful" and "exciting". Of course there's that difficulty establishing her soul/conscience etc as a demon, and also they weren't very careful with Anya as a character there because they didn't know/weren't sure she'd play such a big role later. But later she does talk about enjoying doing awful things to men, but she doesn't at all seem to be a personality that enjoys chaos.
-So. Anya's power source, that necklace. In "The Wish", does she give it to Cordelia? But later, she's wearing it, and Giles has to take it off of her in order to smash it? Is anyone else confused by this?
-What do birds say to each other?
-Am I the only one who likes fake food? Extremely processed food, where you know you can't pronounce a single ingredient? Just me and Xander? Anyone?
-Did you see X3? Did you like it?
-When people write of zee fantasy land nothing recognizable AU, why oh why don't they just write of zee original fic? Srsly.
P.S. When making Angel into a merman or fairy or Renaissance princess, please keep in mind that David Boreanaz has huge ass motherfuckin shoulders. When God made that man's shoulders, he was actually making a door. Then he thought, how about a head on this door? And so he built a head, and said to himself, "Father, Son, Holy Ghost, that is one motherfucking pretty head!" So he added pretty hands and pretty hips and pretty calves to match, but he forgot and left the door part of the shoulders, and to this day that is why David Boreanaz has trouble fitting through doors. And also why when you give him wee slender sloping downward shoulders when you make him into a horsie or blacksmith or bird-man, the baby Jesus motherfuckin cries.
PPS. He also made a pretty pretty neck. I love that neck.

That's interesting--you mean one character has changed her clothes or something but other characters haven't?
all those boring daylight hours - and pretends not to like them. But he secretly knows all the words to "Tonight" (from West Side Story).
I think I forgot how obsessed he is with "Passions". Of course he watches musicals.
And OMG, I want to see the fic you wrote!!!
In what I have so far, there is no actual ice-skating. Every time I go to write the ice-skating I get overwhelmed by my own cheesiness and back away from the computer slowly.
On the fic questions: I like to leave detailed fb too, but reading a big long fic at once is almost a break for me, because I forget a lot of the little things I would've said, and so then don't spend so much time on fb'ing, which is a good thing for me because I have other
porn ficthings I could be reading/doing. But as a writer, I want to hear about each and every little chapter, and I wonder if it's overly narcissist to post each chapter one at a time just to hear fb on each individual bit.I felt the same way about X3.
And I love that icon. I'm going to be saying that now, oh dear.

There's definitely two episodes in which some characters refer to something happening that night or last night, and other characters have an entire day and night in between those times. (I'm not sure if you want me to ruin which episodes because once I noticed I have a hard time not noticing - and I even re-watched an episode hoping I was wrong and I wasn't.) There's also a couple of episodes that there's no way stuff could happen in the time frame given, and once you have all the info there's stuff that doesn't make as much sense on a re-watch (ie. it was just there as a mislead).
I wonder if it's overly narcissist to post each chapter one at a time just to hear fb on each individual bit.
heee! I figure you should post how you want to. I know I prefer shorter chapters, but I suspect that isn't the case for everyone (my English degree has given me issues about reading anything long). *g*
