Little Bitty Rahne Fic

I have a little Wolfsbane ficlet (it's early Wolfsbane btw, though that should be obivious in about five seconds) called Call My Name. I wrote it back in January, but I don't think anyone actually read it, plus I didn't know about his lovely little Rahne com at the time, which probably contributed to the whole "nobody read it" feeling.

I like very short fics; it's about quality, not quantity. And it's refreshing to read something about her lupine drives for a change. One thing that turns me off though is that the Scots accent and Rahne's old vernacular are played out. It's hard to make it work unless it is really restrained because it's so strong that it overshadows the rest of what you write. Plus by now there's been so much of it that if I see the pairing of "wee bairn" re: Rahne again I may actually go into convulsions. ;)

Nice short fic though. Thanks for sharing.

Rreading the fic, the accent makes even me cringe a bit. I think I was reading through a big wodge of early NM at the time, that and trying to say it aloud as I typed, and I can't really do accents (or at least not well).

I just wanted to get across Rahne's alienation, and show some of her early (and not so early) preference for staying in wolf form, where everything was so much simpler.

Thanks, busylittleb! Keep writing. Short fics are morelikely to be read because they require less of a commitment and are easy to digest. I used to like to do that--not even have a plot, just write a moment or a scene. A single moment written with interesting details can take up a whole page.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am ficcing as we speak. Well, not quite, I'm re-editing a fic of old with the plan of reposting it in a more satisfactory (to me anyway, everyone else seemed to adore it) form later.
