Everybody's doing it! (By everybody, I mean [livejournal.com profile] angearia and [livejournal.com profile] snickfic, of course!) I don't have any confidence I'll do it nearly as well as they have, but I'll take a whack at it nonetheless because theirs were so fun.


Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.


Aaaand...GO!

Well, since I've never been much of one to get overly sentimental about animals, it made sense that I would be the one who actually wrote the infamous Miss Kitty Fantastico versus Crossbow scene. It was supposed to be a drabble, and it started out humorous (I'm evil and heartless). But then it took a more serious turn, and it ended up making sense to have it be the moment when Miss Kitty was speared through with the arrow that Dawn would think about when she found Tara's body. The parallels between the accidental death from such weapons just wouldn't leave me alone, so I had to explore them.

It was kind of emotionally draining to write, but I just love writing Dawn so much that it was totally worth it.
