 | Oh my God. I feel like I've just discovered that the mountainous ground beneath me is in fact apple crumble. Dudes. This is... dudes.
A whole network of LJing Buffy characters. I am so scared.
Phantom Dennis
Illyria
Cordelia
Parker Abrams
Charles Gunn
Wesley Wyndham-Price
Lorne
Angel himself
Andrew
Xander
Giles
Buffy's dad
Buffy
And it just goes on and on... no minor character too minor. No imaginary friend too imaginary. The sheer artifice in the building of all these interlocking stories is massively admirable. On the other hand, the whole edifice is an edifice of fear, and at times of utter shit. The golden rules for fanfic writers:
1) Limit Mary Sues
2) If your favourite character has been killed in canon, don't bring them back to life unless there is a good narratvie reason. "I love him" is not a good narrative reason
3) Never, ever cross over with Charmed. It is shit. It will make you shit. If you even want to, then you are, realistically, already shit.
