Annoyed

So, this comment just arrived on my last post, which was a quick, off-the-cuff one shot for the Lizzie Bennett Diaries.

"Please finish Dust. Re-read and it's still as great, if not even better. Takes me back to all the first-class Spuffy characterizations of the series years - but your story has the advantage of very little contribution from the

Amen.

I'm looking forward to DUST, but I'm happy to see you writing at all! Multiple fandoms are good for stretching muscles, shaking off rust, and generally making one a better writer. Keep on keepin' on.

I'm sure I'm not alone in always being happy to hear that you are working on DUST, whenever you pop up to tell us so. But really, can't people just let you do your thing without harassing you in other fandoms?

I can't agree enough about the bashing. Even when I am annoyed at a character for something - especially when I am annoyed, actually - it's far more satisfying to try to understand where they are coming from than to simplify them into boring villainy. I might not seek out Willow-centric fic, for instance, but I am always interested in her relationship with Buffy. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with everybody!

You remind me of the upside to being fundamentally unable to write long fic...

And an amen to not writing character bashing. I've never understood devotedly watching a show where you loathe significant characters. And it makes for tedious fic if part of your mindset is excluding parts of canon. (As opposed to focusing positively on the bits that interest you.)

The main reasons I love "Dust" are because it's a fascinating concept, and it's amazingly and beautifully well-written. I'm waiting hopefully, politely, and with great expectation.

Thank your for writing both West & Dust. They have a lot of nerve complaining about the pace of free entertainment.

I'm reminded of the blog post about "George Martin not being your bitca."

Anyway, just happened to re-read dust last night, along with the new chapters up on the EF auction site. The dreams Buffy is having make me think that perhaps the future scooby gang is messing with the past, and it will be true loves kiss that ends the spell. Probably off base.

Take your time and finish at your own pace. Your writing is worth waiting for.
