Day 11: In your own space, post a rec for fannish and/or creative resources. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Back in May - and really? It was that far back? - I wrote a story about Giles making tea and I got some of the details wrong. If tea making is sacred to you, don't worry, I did fix the story's details. On the plus side I now know how to get a bunch of comments on a story!

This leads into my first resource. Ask someone who knows. In a Corner of My Soul turns Giles, a British character, into the big bad of season 1. My friends have answered many questions on locations, clothing, anything I needed to know. They are awesome and I thank them.

As for online resources

• Buffy Questions: Got a question about any of the Whedonverse shows (Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse, Firefly)? Ask it here!

• Riters_R_Us: Writing tips, grammar, vocabulary and punctuation tips.


• Little Details: a fact-checking community for writers. I have no idea, personally, how to answer most of the questions I see here, but there are people who do and they chime in with answers. It's an active and helpful community.

I still feel mildly guilty for piling on you with the tea stuff, but it's been fun answering your questions.

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

You should not feel any guilt. You corrected me but also praised my story although for future reference the ratio should be three positive comments to one negative. ;-)

And it's been great having you there to answer my questions.

Taking a break from wedding planning or has it already taken place?

[gillo]

Taking a break. I try to stop around 9pm except for hand-sewing or other easy stuff I can do in front of the TV and beside a glass of wine. So much still to do - like feeding the eight people I discover will be staying here on Friday night!

Oooh, it's this weekend. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly!

[gillo]

Thanks. Six more days and counting...

Thank you for the resources I was not familiar with any of them!

You didn't know Riters_R_Us? Huh.

I'd forgotten about Buffy questions. I just tend to post on my site and wait for answers if I need them. And I only ran across Little Details this past year.

But I'm surprised you didn't know Riters_R_Us. I guess I just figured everyone did. It's very fun to ask grammar questions there. I tend to get contradictory answers but the reasons behind the different answers all make sense. ;-)
