Unconventional Couples

[JamesMFan]

I'll have a look later/tomorrow at your story.

I've been seeing a lot of Devon/Oz fics and just found some Devon/Buffy/Oz fics. Which I find strange.

[Effulgent]

it was really short, practically a drabble, a lot of people said I should write fics since I'm good at the ideas (Spike in a pink tutu!) so I gave it a try.

I did find a Devon fanfic site once, and it had Devon/Oz fic in it, but yeah Buffy/Devon/Oz? that is strange.

[JamesMFan]

Okay, I just finished reading it. The basic premise of the story is good, the only thing that needs improving is the formatting. It was very funny by the way

[Effulgent]

seeing formatting! bad formatage = bad rubbish fic.

Thanks I tried to make it funny as well as sort of romantic/angsty and it made Angel seem really dumb since he didn't think "ohh I have Illyria and Gunn with me, we could kill that Drakken demon without Spikes Help" or maybe he just wanted to annoy Spike and hated the fact that Spike was sleeping when he was out "saving the world" or rather the hospital (a lot of hospitals have demons terrorising them .) yeah thats it

[JamesMFan]

bad formatting + beta = good fic.

Hospitals should hire Angel and Spike as their security.

[Effulgent]

I emailed a beta when I first wrote it but he/she never replied, so I forgot about it and then about 2 months later I read the fic and went "ugh that sucks" and left it.

I like the title though Spike, Interupted.. Girl, Interupted? heh.


yes they should!

I don't know the demon would terrorise the hospital though, unless it was a doctor eating or blood drinking demon (that isn't a vampire) I should of mentioned that in the fic, because people probably read it and thought "huh? whats a demon doing in a hospital?"

[JamesMFan]

The demon might be in the hospital to prey on weak people.

The fic doesn't suck! You should have seen some of the crap I wrote when I first started. But luckily, you can't see it.

[Effulgent]

ohh yeah! he probably did, since he was alone, and he didn't have the other drokens with him, and he was probably injured too or he really liked weak people!

ok the fic was "ok" I bet yours were great! I'd love to see your early work!

ok I might get a beta to look at it and I might post it on my lj for only my flist to see, but I won't write any more fic, and I'll edit some bits too saying "Angel knew that he kill the demon easily bla bla etc"

[JamesMFan]

Everyone loves weak people.

Ha, nooo not great. Terrible early work, mine was.

Good. I beta'd fics a few times for someone and I just winged it. Since I'm an idiot when it comes to grammar.

Write more fic! You'll improve each time.

[Effulgent]

haha I opened up my word document (good ol'word) and I made a some changes to it, I should of emailed that copy to you!, anyways I will, I know where to find some betas so I'll do it soon

write fic? well maybe as a colab or something like that, but I don't know...

[JamesMFan]

I've always wondered how collab's work. I mean, it seems complicated but I guess it's not.

We could have a 100 word drabble "Unconventional Couple" fic challenge in this very thread every 1/2 weeks

[Effulgent]

I guess its Chapter by chapter or scene by scene, I'm not sure.

yeah we could

[JamesMFan]

Chapter by chapter would make sense. I guess you'd have to have an outline of what you wanted to happen in the fic. I never plan, I just go with the flow.

[JamesMFan]

I wonder who the first unconventional drabble pairing should be?

Maybe there should be a poll

[Effulgent]

go with the flow? thats why your fics are so good.

first Unconventional drabble pairing? hmm I don't know *Cough* Spike/Angel *Cough*
yeah maybe we should make a poll
