AmyLiz made me snort coffee through my septum lining. It's almost as nasty as cocaine. Evil woman. "Love grotto".

And also the submission piece about Patrick Ormand.

The mind. It goes places it oughtn't

Wait until London Calling. He and Domitra have to team up, and neither of them is too thrilled at the idea. But not to worry - she'll put the boy firmly in his place.

I've been waiting for that in the hoping sort of way, but she had to go off with other boy in WMGGW.

Oh, they were just having splendid sex (implied, not written), and looking at martial arts toys together.

But since there's a high probability that she and Bree are both going to fetch up in a jail cell in Nice or Cannes together, and JP is going to have to swallow his pride and his prickly jealousy and offer Patrick a shitload of money to take a week off SFPD Homicide and fly to France on Blacklight's dime and figure out a) who stole the master reels to the rockumentary and why, and b) who actually did the killing?

Well. Work together. I wouldn't know who to put my money on, and hell, they're my characters.

I looooove the idea of them together, in whatever way that happens. Two very interesting personalities.

Amy, those titles always bring to mind the scene from the Ice Pirates movie and the woman with the husky, hesitating voice, "Welcome! to...Passion's...Storm..."

The queen of overwrought titles was/is Cassie Edwards, who usually writes stories with some kind of Native American twist. Some of my favorite titles of hers are: Elusive Ecstasy, Desire's Blossom, Savage Innocence. Desire's Blossom -- the mind boggles with ways to interpret that.

As a Bayliss girl still in love with the coffin sex,I think I like where Cindy put Ormand. heh heh heh. Some of my drabbles have been ficcy, but for fandoms three people here care about. Spoiling has never been an issue.

Cheerios: I just wrote a fanfic drabble for "The Wire" on this topic.
Because Kima breaks down doors in her job as Narco. I don't own Kima or Cheryl. My imaginary husband does, though, and this is an imaginary community property state. Too bad.

Cheryl ain’t never gonna know what it’s like.(She doesn’t even like when Kima talks like that, says she knows better, and she does, but there’s something about breaking down those doors makes Kima feel all young and free like a kid.) She needs to do that shit. Needs it like food and water and Cheryl’s luscious body beside her in bed at night.(Although, yeah, as often as she breaks McNutty’s balls, she has to admit when she gets hungry enough a little stripper fast food is as good as steak with Cheryl.)

Because sometimes you just wanna eat, not put out the silverware and tablecloths and all that.

Part of Cheryl does understand. Kima knows that. They met when she was shoving a microphone in some joker’s face at City Hall, after all. Cheryl had the same look on her face that Kima gets after a righteous collar, the one that says “You’re busted , asshole. And by a woman, too. How you like that?”

Now, she makes that face cause the crib’s late, and wants to catch the crib guy in a lie. How the hell did they get here?

If you didn't use the words "love grotto" or "throbbing lance," you're several steps up on the competition.

Heh. Nope. No purple prose for me.

Though, you realize that with the historical era and military nature of my stories, I could have a literal throbbing lance one of these days. I just need to get one of my heroes into battle against some of Napoleon's lancers, get him stabbed in his manly muscular thigh, look down, and think, "No wonder it hurts so bad--that lance is still throbbing!"

I didn't see my CP's responses to my sex scene until about an hour ago, since I had a wedding to coordinate this afternoon and we had a cable outage all morning. The two of the four who've read it so far had some minor suggestions but basically thought it flowed well and had good character development. Whew.

Hey Deb--Matty Groves got a good review in the November issue of Romantic Times Book Club (which, naturally, hit my mailbox Oct. 1). Seen it yet?

---

Seen it yet?

They reviewed it? COOL! Nope - is it online?
