you build it up and then they tear it apart

So, what is it with the CAPSLOCK. I get it. But I don't *get* it.

Also...

linzee's letters to the world are always amusing. Especially when they end with "no love".

Then again,

I am writing. Original Fic. *whoa* That said, to those of you who have written and published, how do you know when it's good? I am finding that I'm having trouble with the rhythm on this piece. With fanfic I just excise the troubling parts and use episode allusions to get me through the rough patches. Maybe that's a cop-out, but there it is. I find that with this, I can't do that. Obviously. Cause these are all shiny new peoples. But, I also find that I am too close to the source material to decide whether or not this is good. I need to call Stellabelle and ask her to give it the once-over. Stellabelle teaches creative writing at NYU and she's writing a novel this summer. I need to call her anyway, she's also buying a house with her sweetie. Last time we talked she was slightly freaked by that.

In the meantime, suggestions and advice are severely welcome.

pay attention. this is vital.

Fandom: Angel
Title: Blood Types
Rating: hard R or NC-17 for language and implications of violence, non-con, and general nastiness
Summary: Some people taste different to Angel.

This is a beautiful, vivid and sharp exploration of love and, appropriately enough, food. Gorgeous imagery and poetics, it is a stunning journey through the way that people are defined, consumed and catorgorized. My favorites were Darla and Drusilla.

Go Read. And please, for the love of god, leave the author feedback.
