<BLOCKQUOTE><P>I like to roll around in language, much to my word count’s horror, which is why sometimes these stories seem a little truncated—SSBB’s got a 128k character limit, done in two 64k entries, and there are times I’ve been cutting individual letters to make my stories fit. It’s a technical limitation, not a personal rule, or else as editor I’d bend it all the time. The reason stories like [[Sid Stills' Blues (Three-Quarters in the Bag in Alphabet City)]] and [[The White Palace]] are so long, though, is that once a year we lift the limit and do stories that span more than two entries (sort of a pain in the butt, which is why we only do it in December). I feel what I do well is voice, in that each narrator, whether first- or third-person opining, has a distinct set of vocabulary, idioms, observations, and unvoiced thoughts.</p>
<p>The other thing about my work for SSBB in particular is that, well, sometimes it’s NOT my best work. But that’s why I like SSBB as a project: it forces me to write, and then it forces me to move on. I can sit on a story and pick it to pieces if you give me infinite editing time, and have done so before; however, if a story’s been published, well, it’s been published, and there’s nothing for it now but to drop it, warts and all, and move on to whatever I’m doing next. Of course, I try to make everything as pretty as I can before it goes to press, but you know, sometimes I’m crunched for time or I’m editing everyone else’s stories or (as with [[Eve]] and [[A Prescription For Love]]) I last-minute wrote a story because I felt the issue was going to be too thin. And that’s okay! Sometimes I write stories for one person, and if that person was brought amusement and joy by it, to hell with what everyone else thinks.</p>
<p>But just damn WRITING has made me a better writer. I was a good fanfic writer, but that’s worlds different from being a good fiction author. My early SSBB stories make me cringe, because I could see how to do them better now, and at least one of them I really do want to go back and revamp someday. (There was also the problem that early SSBB stories were capped at 64k, period, but a lot of mine wanted to be longer.) So on the one hand, it’s kind of embarrassing to look back and see how crummy I was, and on the other hand, hey, progress!</p></BLOCKQUOTE>
