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...

I've been meaning to re-read the edited version, and see if it still bothers me.

I did tone down that scene in the kitchen, so they are a bit more sorry about what they are doing. And I think I added a fair bit more angst about it for Face. Heh, and you should reread it anyway, for the pressure cooker incident I added in the editing. Which is funny and angsty and Face & Decker bondy. :D

But he does make a wonderful villain - doing the wrong things for the right reasons. ;-)

Yeah, that's how I like him portrayed. I still live by what I had him say in Settlement, that he's one of the good guys. Of course he said this to Amy, who he'd had his minions gas unconscious and abduct...

Frankie - he's like an OC that one really wishes hadn't been created
Frankie is a Mary Sue! Or he would be if he was an OC in a fanfic. He's supposedly terribly good at his special effects fu, all the canon characters seems to like him inexplicably and he ends up moving in with the team! Well, the canons are all supposed to like him, I think some of the actors didn't manage to convince us of that. Ahem. :D

I really do have to read the new version. Really, it was a great story, and now I'm especially anxious to see the changes. :-)

Frankie a Mary Sue? You hit the nail on the head. The curious thing to me was how Face seemed to spend so much time with him at first. I would think those two would get along like oil and water - one relaxed and confident, the other such a total...and so arrogant without cause! At least Amy and Tawnia both knew their "roles" with the team...

Now I gotta go to bed - working graveyard shift is killing my day times...

Maybe Face let him tag along on the same principle as one might go out "on the pull" and take along a less attractive friend. ;-)

Oh geez - I used to do that. Come to think of it, that's how I met the first guy I was engaged to.

No wonder I don't do it any more
