Covenant 6 and 7 posted at last

[ostarella]

Well, bit the bullet and posted Chapters 6 and 7 to ffnet and my website. Have to send a reminder to the Archive, too - remind them of the earlier chapters being out there and that I've added these two now.

I got a compliment from an apparently new reader the other day - basically said no matter what the situation I put them in, I treat the characters "with respect". I thought that was kinda nice. Actually, I thought it was terrific <G> 

Well, going to try and get more done on 8 today. My brother's down and it's always hard to concentrate on writing when someone else is in the house. Good excuse, right? Actually I'm trying to think of that next sentence - you know the one. The one that starts the ball rolling and shoves the rest of the chapter down your throat before you know what's happening.

So evasive...

That is nice feedback. Sounds like words to live by as a fanfic writer. I hope I do the same. I won't make the characters perfect and sometimes they even do bad things (I mean I know how you felt about whay they did in Cabin Fever) but I think a writer can get away with that as long as the characters show an awareness that they are doing something dubious, feel bad about doing it and have an otherwise good motive for doing it.

Generally though I hate bashing fics, even bashing of characters I don't like. Frankie gets bashed plenty, but I don't like that. (Yes, I know, I made him evil and shot him, but ya know, he was more interesting that way!) Just because people don't like Stockwell that's no excuse to turn him into a moustache twirling villain tying a helpless Face to the railroad tracks.
