wtf? pwp fades to teacup poodle methos convinced duncan is going to leave him soon, then duncan convinces him with a few sentences that his insecurity is unfounded and the story closes with: And as they kissed again a pair of night-hunting hawks flew silhouetted across the moon. uh... well... good for them? the weird thing is that last night i read two really good stories by esjay, the same author--the marrying kind and straight and low, the latter of which was truly outstanding, well-characterised, hilarious and wicked and unfolding perfectly--in short exemplary story-telling. like... what happened?

this icon is a group effort, the result of mace_m's couch and highlander eps and comments by everybody present, more or less. as the eminent master chi has said, who cares that you can barely read it?

esjay is weird like that. Some of her stuff is incredibly good and the rest -- isn't. Kiss of Shadows would be the story with excessive dying, by the way. I liked parts of it tremendously, and then -- well, usually then someone died. I think my main complaint with that one was that it came to what I thought would be an end too many times, and then there was yet another setback. Kinda like Speed to the power of ten.

heheheh... I totally agree. That pwp is crap. And I should know, I wrote the hideous thing. Not even a mother could love it. And the terrible thing is I've done worse than that. Much much worse. The only thing I can say for it is that it's really really old and hopefully I write a little better these days. But not always:)
