Drabble rec. And sundry.

[lettered]

spuffyduds margaritas my Mexican dinner*. She's writing limericks. *whimpers with joy*

But anyway the point of this disturbingly affectionate and even more disturbingly spontaneous post is this drabble. How come I didn't write that?

Also, it's because I've been meaning for a while now to wave my cane and yell at you hoodlums to stop saying things like, "She couldn't say why; this was something she just had to do." Because that means in bad-author-speak, "Yeah I don't know where I'm going with this."

JEEZ!

Which just kills a lot of the affection and spontaneity, really.

*edited for artistic purposes.

ETA2: 2am is apparently equal to crack in la vie de TKP. This is why I am not a spontaneous poster. Did you see how I deleted the other post that looked exactly like this? Another thing, kids. I'm getting tired of "straining against the confines of his pants." THINK OF A NEW PHRASE. Or. Possibly. GO WRITE LIMERICKS. And never share them.

ETA3: 3am, and all's well. Fanfic writers of the world, Michelangelo's David is very beautiful, yes. But keep in mind, if you must excessively liken Angel or Spike or who have you to him, he had a rather small schlong. Last bit, I promise.

ETA4: I lied. Right to your faces. My hair looked fabulous today, and McDonald's now has chicken biscuits like Chik-fil-a. It will be seven in 3 hours and I can go get some. I think I might need coffee, just a wee bit. Dude! Remind me never to make posts late at night, ever. Go read spuffyduds's drabble.

You confusing wench! *re-comments*

*musing*

Point. And although characters sometimes actually don't know why they're doing something, the author still should, and there are other ways of hinting at it. Although I suppose that the first person could be some kind of exception except for the fact that it seems relatively rare that a character would say, "I have no idea why I'm doing this."

And btw, I'm pretty sure that when you go in to edit a post there is a "delete post" option in there at the bottom. Must be as I've deleted a post or two in my day.

Not only am I tired of all of the constricting pants in the world of fanfic but I'm really tired of the people doing things to "gain better access"--I just don't know, I'm over it. Apparently there's a thing with cock liberation or something.

How can you stay up all night and function the next day?
Still, your post amuses me.
*g*

And thank you ever so much for the pimpage! You're a sweetie.

I agree about the nonspecific writing, tkp: Be direct and concise with what your narrator says! (Unless the narrator's incoherent already and that is their style...but still)

Also, it's because I've been meaning for a while now to wave my cane and yell at you hoodlums to stop saying things like, "She couldn't say why; this was something she just had to do." Because that means in bad-author-speak, "Yeah I don't know where I'm going with this."

This sort of line almost never works when it's 3rd person author voice saying it. OTOH, it can work just fine if it's first person...

For example, it can work just fine if we've got HS Xander telling Buffy or Willow or Cordy that he has no idea why he's doing __insert stupid teenaged boy thing here__ because that would fit well enough with the characterization.

More frequently, yeah, I agree with you. Because it's almost like a case where the author is trying to jam a square peg into a round hole and using the short cut rather than working with characterization....

Wow! I'm exhausted and I just slept for 8 hours! Please enjoy lots of coffee. Or a nap.

And that was a helluva fantastic drabble!

See, I went to bed at just the wrong time! However, I wasn't reading LJ, but playing WebBoggle. *must resist playing again*

*fluffs your fabulous hair**

You have to make posts late at night ALWAYS.

Read the drabble, loved it, commented, etc.

Another thing, kids. I'm getting tired of "straining against the confines of his pants." THINK OF A NEW PHRASE. Or. Possibly. GO WRITE LIMERICKS. And never share them.

Read a lot of NC-17, dontcha?

McDonald's has... chicken biscuits. There's not even a McDonald's here... But there's Burger King! And they have chicken biscuits. There's also a "Bojangles", and the only good biscuit they have IS the chicken biscuit.

ah you crack me up!

Michelangelo's David is very beautiful, yes. But keep in mind, if you must excessively liken Angel or Spike or who have you to him, he had a rather small schlong

but he does have HUGE hands. I find large hands very attractive. and they come in handy ;)

[lynnenne]

Heeeee! Personally I think you should make more late-night drive-by posts. But on the other hand, GO TO BED OMG!!!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

What I love about David is Michealangelo made the ablls different sizes. Probably the first scuptor in history to pay attention to that particular anatomical fact.

Stupid un-related question

[imnotacommittee.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't mind going totally off track, but I have a LJ question:
How do I write a link to something (either to a LJ entry or someplace else on the web) and label the link something. Like you did in this entry when you have "this drabble" as a link?

Does that make sense?

Thanks!
