Drive By and a bit on ATS S6 Virtual

Quick drive by, have lots of errands to run to today, before heading off to see The Incredibles with cjlasky.

Read Exodus , episode II of the aTPO's S6 Virtual project, by Arethusa.
Actually quite good. Still not a huge fan of the screenplay format (tracking shots, grounding shots, etc. tend to annoy and take me out of the story - but I felt that way reading the screenplay to Chinatown and Butch & Sundance, hence the reason I did not go to film school, become an actress, or write screenplays. I blame the over 1000 plays I was forced to read in high school personally.)

But, she nails Spike. Also nails the Spike/Angel relationship. ( Spoilers on Exodus fanfic )

Interesting fanfic. Only drawback of trying to read this fanfic project - is my printer is on the blitz and it is difficult to print off. Words fall off the page. Some are blurred. Sigh. Not your problem, I know. But there it is.
Shouldn't complain - only fanfic I'm reading at the moment. Stopped reading fanfic in August. Nothing personal, just lost interest and got busy.

Finished Neverwhere. Am reading Richard Paul Russo's Ship of Fools now. Very good. Quite taken with Ship of Fools. More so actually than Neverwhere, oddly enough, which took a while for me to get in to. I liked Neverwhere, but didn't love it. The lead character, like most of Gaiman's leads, felt somewhat passive, as if he were sleepwalking through the novel, observing, occassionally taking part, but mostly just watching or hosting the action. It's a sin I'm guilty of as well in my writing, so I may be hyper-aware of it.
