It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I'm thinking ita's Cinderella married the prince, sent the parents off to their nice country house, took over the country, and threw kickass parties.

And declared National Shoe Day. Jimmy Choos for all the peasants! Pairs of Fluevogs flung off the palace balconies, into the cheering mobs!

.....

....what?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heh. More in that vein, but not.

****

I am chained to this rock, guarded by this dragon, sleeping deeply in this glass coffin, forced to drudgework by my stepmother, ignored by my father, kept captive by a brute, cursed by a fairy, enchanted by an evil witch, locked in a tower.

You are my prince. You carry a magic sword, ride the whitest of horses, wear the most magnificent armour and bear the blessing of the gods. You are the slayer of wolves, the knower of names, a breaker of spells, seer of truth.

I know the man behind the beast. Why haven't you rescued me yet?

Because books.

More, please!

OK, that last line is as nummy as it is petulant. I adore the "aHEM, hel-LO, we're burning DAYLIGHT here, clock's a-TICKING, yo......" feel.

Amy remember that thing? Not me, baby. ita.

Oh, and Amy made me very happy with:

There's a T-shirt now that says "I wear black on the inside."

What now? Am I being a goober again?

Our conversation about a Fairy Tale project. It was a long time ago, so you shouldn't feel badly for forgetting. Your clearly delighted response to ita's drabbles are what reminded me.

Heh. I actually knew what Cindy was talking about.

I have just cracked the 30K word mark on Cleveland Rocks. Fear me.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, I did write a sex scene today...it turned out, as mine usually do, to be heavier than I expected. Writing people's issues does seem to mean that I'm never gonna be Beach Book Romp Girl...I'm confused about how I feel about that.
