Somebody Out There Is Awesome!

I haven't been posting much, on the theory that if I don't have anything nice to say I'd probably better not, you know? I've been commenting tons, because I have loads of nice things to say about what my friends are doing! Y'all rock! Plus: hooray, hooray, Seasonal_Spuffy begins today!

But! Then! Whoa! Some incredibly kind and generous person just gave me the gift of a year of a Dreamwidth paid account! Totally anonymous and everything! I suspect it's someone who is sick of me bellyaching in all my DW comments that I don't have enough icons...I am a wheel, hear me squeak. Still! Thanks for being so awesome, kind giftor! I am a happy, icon-loading camper! And look: posting to DW directly. If the LJ crosspost goes smoothly, I'll be in for the long haul.

Also, I scored tickets to the Tom Lenk Live in San Francisco show for next month, so I've got to share my excitement about that! The Golden Guys play in LA was canceled last month, so no Enver or Sasha Roiz or Jane E. for me, alas, but I suspect Tom will be a ton o' fun all on his own.

Ain't life grand?

P.S. I've been writing oodles of Spike & Buffy stories, but I can't quite seem to close the deal on any of them. Comics fallout? Yea or Nay?

And now I'm curious about what you might have said that isn't nice. LOL

There's been a discussion going on at the Bloodshedverse Forum about whether or not the comics (and the generally negative reactions to them) has been having an effect on writers (specifically Spuffy writers). Some feel very strongly that general disgust with the comics has smooshed the love for anything Buffy-based for many writers. My thinking is, just as the less happy-making episodes of the show sparked a lot of "let me fix this" fic, the comics should be sparking lots of AU futures where they don't exist, or where they're done better. Do you think you're having comics fallout? Are you reading? or just following discussions? Are they making you love the characters less?
