non linear thoughts

Probably my biggest non!kink is the blood tie, or mystical links of any kind. Maybe I OD'd on it before the Buffyverse, or during, but I just find the whole thing a shortcut. Where's the tension, the story, when two people know what the other is thinking/feeling all the time?

Blank pages are alluring to me. It beckons me to ignore the thirty WiPs on my Word doc with something shiny and new.

I do view all my fic as wish-fulfillment but most of them don't end happily, or end at all. I like to write 'snapshots' of what-ifs without diverging to wildly from the source material. I have this block where if any fic ends with Cordy and Angel snuggling in front of a fire, then there wouldn't be anything left for me to say. And also, it's too easy to solve their problems with a paragraph or ten, and presumptuous, when the shows themselves couldn't. If that makes sense.
