header spelunking: what else are you going to do?

[cimorene]

1. Yes its a crap summary, but it's only one chapter, so go on. What else are you going to do? Homework?


2. A/N: This is NOT a depressing fic. It is about the lighter side of death.


3. Warning: Part 1 is written in script form.


4. AN: Sorry about all that. I just wanted to get threw that chapter as quickly as possible. This should be a bit better though.


5. Avril Lavigne's song KEEP HOLDING ON is the theme to this story. I'm trying to make it so you can hear the song in your head as the scenes play out.......Lyrics are in all caps........

Death has a lighter side?

[krait]

The theme of 1 & 5 is "author assumes their worldview is universal". I haven't ever heard a song by Lavine, so I most certainly cannot hear it in my head while reading even if you included the lyrics, and it's been long enough since I had homework that the thought didn't even cross my mind as an alternative to fic; but both authors are blithely assuming otherwise.

#3 - well, I appreciate the warning, AND the information that it's a problem limited to Part 1.

#4 - It's not that you're apologising, it's the "threw" that's really throwing my interest off! (I just read a fic yesterday which had some similar authorial notes - "I rewrote this six times and the pacing is still off, but I'm posting anyway" type stuff - and it was a bit jarring to encounter in the middle of a completed work; it made me want to pay attention to the pacing instead of the plot. I can see the temptation to put up such notes when it's a WIP, but I really think they should be removed once the work is finished! Either beta-and-rewrite, or live with it as is, but don't leave notes in which imply your story isn't complete.)
