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.

I think I'd probably feel that way as a reader. As a writer I want to see people comment on every single chapter. I'm such a whore.
She had a lot of potential after Selfless (well before that) but then nothign. A whole big fat goose egg.
Well, I love Anya. But that's kinda all of S7 if you think about it.
I chose not to think about this...because it's a great episode. Although you could wank that the "new" world wasn't real. So she didn't actually have it.
It's definitely one of my favorite eps. But I'm thinking about doing a fic involving it in which the logistics, however screwy, seem kinda important. It does seem to me like there could be Anya's necklace, given to Cordelia, from the nonwishverse 'verse, and then Anya's necklace that exists in wishverse. I have no idea.
I though X3 was ok. It was decent as an action movie and as a comic book movie. But I adore X1 and really like X2, and as a follow up to those this did nothing for me--both potential wise and continuity-wise. There was no mention of where Nightcrawler went, which I thought was so stupid, and the characters that were big in the previous movie were all shunted aside in this so Jean bloody Gray could be scary. But I always hated the Phoenix Saga anyway.
I absolutely DIE at his huge, broad chest and shoulders. EGADS!
My thoughts exactly.

I think I'm such a Cordy fan, Anya never took her place (on the show or in my heart).
X1 and X2 were definitely far superior than the 3rd. I know! Seriously where was Alan Cummings? Rogue did absolutely nothign at all, and I'm just upset at the whole fact that some of them were "cured". Blah, I just..don't want to think about the movie.
no subject
Anya certainly never took Cordy's place, didn't make me like her less though.
I knew they weren't going to have Cummings, but I hoped they'd at least make some reference. And Rogue is my favorite character (besides possibly Wolverine) in the movies, cartoon, and comics, so ugh. But she also got short-shrifted in the second movie, which is probably why I liked it less than the first.
no subject
I'm not sure it's only in retrospet now that I realize I don't love Anya as much as I thought I did. Maybe I'm just bitter that the potential in "Selfless" never materialized. I have no idea.

We all know that writers are whores and that any fb to a writer is never repetitive or annoying, but cherished, printed out, put in a shrine, and burned holy incence to.
no subject
But I suppose I always find it difficult per chapter, because after it's done...you see the whole picture.
