excited
buffyx is bored, I let her have a little sneaky peaky at a bit of the long story I'm working on and I thought I'd let you all look at it too. This works as a drabble and has nothing whatsoever to do with the plot.
He's never told Buffy, but he still dreams of the Initiative sometimes. She thinks he'd been caught, chipped up and escaped. And that's all he's sure he remembers. But he knows he'd been there weeks, upon weeks, with waking dreams of unknown faces, body strapped down, his head held still and forward, but his eyes are looking at his feet. He's drained of blood then bursting full. His head is open; he can feel sawing, prodding, limbs have involuntary reactions. Probes in his brain, chest, heart and arse.
He doesn't find alien abduction stories as funny as he used to.
Now I'm off to enjoy a Chinese banquet with Hunt Sabs.
I think this story is going to be BIG. I hope I have bitten off more than I can chew. I'm aiming for the first part to be about January, but we'll see.
Dude, you shall post more of this. Very intriguing. Always a sucker for those missing moments when he was at the Initiative.
This story is going to be a huge project for me, as I write so slowly - hopefully not too much. I may post some more snippets soon.
I have about 7,000 words of random paragraphs, but I'm still at the research/planning stage. Damn, all that Buffy to watch...
But then, I'm biased. I've loved each and every thing you've deigned to publish so far! ;-)
I really am going to have to expand this idea a bit, aren't I? Lol!
The WIP has hit a snag though. Whilst doing my research, Giles said two words which unravelled my entire plot! I'm having to figure out a fix.
I mentioned the story to commit myself to writing the thing but it's terrifying huge amount to do for me. Your encouragement certainly helps though!
Don't worry - I'm sure the siolution will present itself in due time. Your initial idea is too good to go to waste just because of something Giles said! There's got to be a way around it, and I'm sure you'll find it eventually.
I think I have a fix now - just hope it doesn't read like a fudge.
