Re: OT: Joss has NO point
Dan,
I see your point, I really do, and I agree with you. I've just tended not
to make a big deal of the whole gay issue (says me writing B/W fics), so
I guess I just don't really notice if it's a gay character that does
something bad. To me, the fact that they're gay doesn't really come into
it. It's part of who they are, but it's not all they are, you know?
Anyway, that wasn't the point of this reply. What I really wanted to say
was that I'm almost finished a second chapter of "Something New" and it
should be out in a few days. I just need to finish it and check it over.
I hadn't actually intended to continue it as a series, but for some
reason I decided it would be a challenge to rewrite an entire season from
one character's perspective. I know a lot of people write in first
person, but I thought that first person/present tense/changing an entire
season because I'm a sap for B/W would be kind of interesting.
Well, that and being inside Willow's head is a rather novel experience.
Hoping in advance that you like it,
Pedder
