"@#!*$," she said.

My Faith has a much dirtier mouth than my Spike has. Maybe it's because with him it's a part of a persona, however ingrained, whereas it's her native language. I dunno. However, the first thing I post in Faith POV will have more cussing than all my other fics put together.

Haha, yes. Faith cusses so much when I write her.

[snickfic]

And then I still don't feel like I've gone far enough, but I just don't have the vocabulary to put the finishing touches on.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Do you want a Faith voice beta when you're finished?

[snickfic]

YES! That would be fabulous. The fic isn't due until the end of January, though, so it'll probably be a while.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Okay! I'll be on call, then. :D

[deird1]

Heh. I think it's the same for most of us.

[snickfic]

I will never forget your "blowjob for dessert" line. (All while thinking, "My gosh, gen-champion Deird wrote a one-night stand! What is happening to the world?")

Ohh... this makes me happy. Can't wait to read.

[snickfic]

I shall assume you agree with my characterization of Faith, rather than that you feel my Spike uses an insufficient number of dirty words. *g*

[pennydrdful.livejournal.com]

Well. When you put it like that, I find it hard to find anything particularly disagreeable about the thought of Spike having a filthy mouth. But yes, my original intent was that I agree with the characterization of Faith, and am rather fond of her own dirty, brash language.

[snickfic]

On a navel-gazing level, I think I find filthy language less threatening coming from a woman, which may have something to do with how I write them differently? Plus Spike just has so much wider a vocabulary and range of language to play with.

Anyway, thank you for the vote of confidence! :)

This sounds about right to me.

I am looking forward to your Faith!

[snickfic]

Yay! I'm pretty excited. I've been wishing for Faith/Giles for the longest time, but they just now started talking to me. Hurrah!

In totally unrelated fics, did you ever get a chance to look at that Illyria thing?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOODNESS. I keep completely forgetting. I am such an awful person.

I have it saved on my harddrive! I will try to take a look this weekend? I think that will be doable. I'm putting a giant sticky note on my wallpaper right now to remind myself.

[deird1]

Did you still need me to look at the Illyria fic?

[snickfic]

Maybe? The problem is I don't have a full draft yet, and I kind of wanted a general thumbs up/down about the direction I was going in. Interested? It's pretty rough yet, especially in the second half.

[deird1]

Happy to check it out if you'd like...

[snickfic]

Okay, then. Thank you! PM me your email address?

(half the people on LJ know it already...)

[snickfic]

Cool. It'll be on its way soon. :)

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Illyria thing!

If you send it to me, I can read it on my seven hour train ride tomorrow!

[snickfic]

Is not finished. Just so you know. But I'm stuck, and need Thoughts. I'll get it your way.

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Cool! I'm happy to share Thoughts.

[silverusagi]

Yeah, I can see Faith having a really dirty mouth.

[snickfic]

She certainly does in my head.
