I think it's one of the things we first bonded over. That and River-love. *g* Ah, memories.
I have no idea how you do that. I'd never get anything written I'm sure. It's a slightly scary way to go about things, certainly, but if you trust that it will come, it usually does. I've probably slightly exaggerated the sketchiness of what I start out with, but it's very true that huge amounts of what I write show up seemingly out of nowhere as I go along--like exploring the story space.
LOL! The thing about having little movies, is that they're generally just loosely connected scenes, and then most times I have to work out a plot that will ensure that the characters are where I need them for the scenes I already have. Hee hee. That's where I give up and write vignette fics ;-) I admire the people who have the self-discipline to fill the rest in.
Thank you. :) (It's this HUGE crossover thing - Buffy/Jack, and keeping within canon 100% - or rather the sequel, so lots of people are all waiting anxiously and I can just cross my fingers and hope they'll like what I do.) The concept sounds cool. Wish I could follow along, but having seen neither Buffy nor TW, I'm sure I'd be more than a little lost.
