BSV Forum - General - The Bloodshedpub Weird beta request Well, everyone else was posting requests... besides, this one doesn't quite lend itself to the search feature. I'm writing a sequel to the musical episode. Like, "what if they
never stopped singing?" Now, I've recently discovered that I am not
Joss Whedon, and therefore will not be composing a musical off the top
of my head. So I'm using actual songs from real musicals and sometimes changing the lyrics to fit the show. So if there's anyone out there with knowledge/interest in musicals -
or just someone up for a bit of an adventure - who might want to do
some betaing, please let me know! Thanks. Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat. *runs to put a note up on the beta search feature about it not being finished yet* I know, completely off-topic, but still. Good luck with finding someone for that project, sounds interesting. "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has limits." - Albert Einstein Feb 27 2007 09:26 pm #3GoldenBuffy That really sounds like an awesome idea. I could try and help if you want it, lol. Not sure how good I'll be. Maybe we could to a test run? Let me know. And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Excellent! Thanks for offering. How about I send you an email and we can go from there? Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat. Mar 01 2007 01:11 am #5GoldenBuffy Ok, looking over it now. Should get back with you tomorrow. Is that ok? And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Sure, that's great. Thanks! Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat. Mar 02 2007 12:03 am #7daniel_nieves would any of you guys like to beta a new story of mine, it's a response to challenge 319 on bsv where Dawn gets shot instead of Tara and Buffy goes ballistic. I would like some help with grammar and punctuation, and if it's not to much some plot advice... Spuffy peed on Angel... Mar 02 2007 08:27 pm #8GoldenBuffy I SUCK at grammar and punctuation *hugs own beta*, but I'm pretty good with the plot thing. And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Mar 02 2007 09:08 pm #9daniel_nieves would you like to give me plot advice on it then GoldenBuffy.

And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Mar 03 2007 01:42 am #11daniel_nieves that's be great, I'm trying to post three chapters before my b-day. Spuffy peed on Angel... Mar 10 2007 02:22 am #12Dead Man Walking i can do the grammar and punctuation thing, if you still need help. Mar 11 2007 03:44 am #13daniel_nieves sure, i should type the first chapter today unless something called bacardi limon stops me cause drunken fanfiction, not of the goodness... Spuffy peed on Angel... Mar 15 2007 04:19 pm #16pfeifferpack It seemed to me the trigger for the song and dance in the episode was extreme emotional repression that popped out the truth in song....sort of like a truth serum of with a beat *G*. This group had so many secrets, hidden desires, denials, etc. that they could sing longer than tourist night at the karaoke bar! Good luck on this. I did a really short fic with Buffy doing a song response to Spike ....AFTER she leapt from the grave and ran of course *G*. I just didn't worry about the music part and wrote it like loose verse poetry since lyrics are just poems to music. It's here and called "With A Song In Her Heart" BTW. Kathleen I think you're right about how the music worked, and with this crew,
there's definitely no shortage of things to sing about... my list of
songs keeps growing! It's kind of fun to cull all the musicals I know, looking for songs that could fit the story. I remember reading your fic a bit ago... kudos to you for writing
poetry along with your story. I suck at poetry, which doesn't really
bode well for my song-writing, but at least I have a predetermined
rhythm and structure to work with, which actually makes it easier, I
think. Writing should feel easy, like a monkey driving a speed boat. | |||
