Go read this now!!!!!!

I'm writing this just in case there is someone on my flist who's not reading Three Deep, a virtual AtS S6/BtVS S8. The first chapter Alley Oops is now up, and it blew me away completely and totally. I am so in awe of these writers, and if the rest is only half as good I'll still be glued to my seat. The characters and plot all leaped off the screen, and the advantage of fanfic over actual tv is of course that we're also treated to all the internal conflicts and struggles. Ideally I want this as a big hard-backed novel. *sigh* Just go read and friend the LJ ([livejournal.com profile] virtual_ford) as this is probably the easiest way to keep up.

(Also BIG hugs and smooches to [livejournal.com profile] lillianmorgan because she spoils me!)

Hee... I believe that you said that chapters should be at least 2500 words?

[identity profile] bogwitch.livejournal.com 2005-05-05 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and?

That was me writing them!

Nah, I think I'm just really bored of versions of that alley scene. I'll get over it.

Hehehehehe!

The alley-bit is actually surprisingly short... it's afterward that it gets long!

Oh. It'll have to wait until after I finish my own chapter then.

Good luck with the writing! Are the plotbunnies plentiful?

[identity profile] bogwitch.livejournal.com 2005-05-05 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but not in a useful way!

I think Anya was onto something with her 'bunnies are evil' thing!

Heee! How could I forget? And I thought of you ([livejournal.com profile] bogwitch) every. single. time! :D

[identity profile] bogwitch.livejournal.com 2005-05-05 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm honoured.

I did notice one!

I'm worming them into people's brains!

I think they got each character pretty much bang on - which was very pleasing.
Thanks for the hugs - I'm almost squeezed out :)

Wasn't it just... as long as they keep [livejournal.com profile] paratti away from Buffy, it should all work out ok!

And I'll go easy on the hugs from now on. ;)

It so happens that I've known one of the writers in a virtual way for quite a while now and she tells me that she thinks the second chapter is stronger than the first. The wait is going to be awful.

I need to print it all out really and who cares about the expense of the ink!

::bounces::

I've printed it out already! I very rarely print out fic, but I figured this was an exception! (Although - 24000 words...)

Heh. I ended up just skimming it because that chapter was waaaaay too long for me. Maybe I'll just have to print it out, since I don't like having to spend so much time reading a fanfic on the computer. I did like the part at the end about Buffy, though.

I did a word count, and it's 24000 words!!! Long enough to be a fic in it's own right... and Buffy is awesome! :)
