I'm on board. Episode 1 board.
OK, what the heck. I'll try this LJ thing out. Just to have one place of my own to collect my fics.
Standard presentation:
I like to write. I like to watch anything Whedon-related. I like to combine the two. It tends to either get really silly or really angsty. Don't know what that says about me.
I really prefer to write one-shots, since I think fanfic above all needs to be true to the characters and you don't necessarily need plot for that; I'd rather read a well-written fic about Xander delivering pizza than a sloppy fic with lots of far-fetched stuff happening. Lately, though, I've been writing a bunch of different series, with the result that I end up not finishing either of them. But I'll try to get them done one by one, so if you're curious - none of the works-in-progress are abandoned, just on the backburner for now.
I pledge to never:
- Write a fic only because I want to see two specific characters get together.
- Make a character evil just to be evil. Or good just to be good. Hey, my favourite characters are Faith, Willow, Wesley and Jayne, do the math.
- Get rid of a good but obscure joke just because I'm the only one who gets it. I write these for myself, too.
- Kill a beloved character unless I can do it in an emotionally wrenching way... or a fun way... or a gory way... or a way that's going to piss people off... or any other reason I deem valid.
- Break any of the above rules. Unless I really want to.
Favourite stories I've written (and more or less finished)... I guess "Dawn of the Dead" and "No, Nina! Bad Nina!" for silliness, "The Singular Of Apocalypses" and "Atonement's a Bitch" for deep angsty stuff, and "Five By Five By Five By..." for just general weirdity. For reasons I'll not go into here I'm also quite proud of "It's A Wonderful Unlife".
What else... oh, not American, so if I get school systems, geography or slang wrong, blame my teachers.
