Just FYI, there's a community over on LJ called "Big Damn Writers" where people are encouraged to ask questions, give support, etc. It's not very active, but there've been some good discussions there.

Define "true to the Jossverse." I do alot of speculative stuff. I'm not good at being funny, so my stuff tends to be dark, much darker than anything we saw in the Jossverse. I often ask, how could the independents win, what strategies would work, even the politics of Authoritarianism. I saw a story on here with a suicide bomber, and that is an element in one of my stories. I steer clear of the main/known characters of the Jossverse, I even created my own ship called "The Menelaus" a pirate ship with a very naughty agenda. I maintain all the rules of Jossverse, and try not to alter the history but I still go to very dark and gray areas and eeck out my own storylines. Am I a bad person? *shrugs*

I think I will start posting my stories and see what people actually think... but I am so nervous about rejection. My fragile ego is made up of water lillies and cotton candy. And I cry, cry like a big damned baby... when the San Antonio Spurs lose games, or when someone else has the last piece of cheesecake, or when I watch the care bears. Big manly tears, the size of grapefruits and made of acid. Which makes me cry more because it burns my eyes. But I don't wail. I just kind of sob, with a manly grunt, all warrior like. But mostly I don't cry, unless I'm shot in the nuts... I have an icebox where my nuts used to be. So I pretty much don't cry that much anymore. Oh god, I'm tearing up now... I have to go.

I'm not a writer, but I'm a reader and let me just say this sounds like a very shiny idea!

I like the sound of this, and I vote "Big Damn Scribblers" as the name. It's great!

I'd love to be involved, but I'd produce very little for at least the next while. My free time is pretty limited and my 'net time is even less. Is it still okay for me to be involved? I'm already working on a post BDM episode script fic! Honest!

I vote for Big Damn Scribblers. Don't know how much I'd be involved though - I'm pretty much trapped in an ivory tower for the duration right now. Got a plot bunny that's turned into a herd of plot woolly mammoths. It's ugly. Real ugly.

But I like the idea! I'll certainly learn by lurking!

Edited to add: what kind of things would this involve? I've never been in a writer's group. Never been a writer before LOL!

Well, I don't know 'bout this one, but I wrote a virtual season of Buffy with an online group once. That was LOTS of fun. I'm the first to admit it was pretty terrible, but it was great fun!

The way we did that one was that everyone involved got to write one episode. The writers of the two episodes voted best were then picked to write the season finale. I was one of the winners *beams with pride* Like I said, lots of fun!

I'm guessing this would be different, unless we organise a virtual season of Firefly or something. I know a few places are doing that kind of thing, though I don't get to read them very much, never mind join in!

I like Big Damned Scribblers.
..I'm not sure you'd consider my fic to be exactly professional quality. I've never taken a writing course since freshman composition in college.

I'd be happy to play the "what if" game and beta. There's a lot going on in life right now that needs tending to, so I'm stalled in my writing efforts. I'm trying to figure out where to go next, or rather how to get where I want to go. It will come. Eventually. Probably?
Definitely fall under the enthusiastic amateur/spare time writer category, though.

Writing with the 'GunRunners' here on FFFn was great, I would like to try my hand again. Iff'n y'all have me.

Looks like "Big Damn Scribblers" is becoming the favorite name.

Any other ideas? Going once...going twice...
