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

Actually, you've just described my favourite kind of black moment. I'd take that over the surrreal melodrama in a heartbeat.

Can't they have sex amid the construction? With the city shining in the windows, and the skyline, and shit?

Or you could maneuvre them over to the Trump...

Because books.

Or you could maneuvre them over to the Trump...

Heh.

Can't they have sex amid the construction?

I'm thinking, yeah! There are a couple good reasons why either one of them would be up there, and that could be hot.

Also? My plan on Thursday (or Friday, depending on how wiped I am Thursday) is to download the new book (yours) to the laptop, and curl up and gorge myself on JP and Bree. So expect a shitload of feedback all in one fell swoop soonish.

Exactly. Nibbling her ear on the floor with chairs stacked in one corner and plaster dust everywhere, and rolling around and getting caught in a tarp, as if it was a blanket, with the Manhattan skyline out there. HOT.

You'll find Bree a bit in the background in this one - it's scarily JP. In this one, the musician is completely to the fore - everything and everyone takes a back seat when he's in that headspace. I remember alternately resenting it and loving it, back in the day, but it's flooring me how right it feels to write him that way.

Star bubbles. Angel's breath. My mantra for this one. It's insanely intimate.

Ima guess 842 words is a bit over the top though; especially since this is a frothy one.

Gar, no idea what Teppy's take on it is, but at that length, I'd probably be inclined toward blogging it in my journal, providing a link, and adding a note upfront that this is not a drabble, it's short fiction, don't read if that's an issue, thank you, etc.

Right. Guess it's time to sign up for livejournal.

It's a good thing to have, Gar - even if you never use it for anything beyond short pieces of fiction or journalism, it's a useful tool.

Ok - on subject, but a short story not a drabble>

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

The thread isn't just for drabbles, is it? I love the challenge, and stick to 100 words like my krav depended on it. But any sort of fiction can be posted here for people to read and comment on, on challenge topics or of challenge length. Or neither.

Right?

ita, yep, that's the way I take it, as well.

But for longer pieces - much longer, something that's well beyond the drabble and even past flash fiction, all the way into basic short fiction - I'd probably link it, rather than post it.

For one thing, the b.org interface doesn't allow for long posts, so I find posting up in chunks is problematic. You risk losing the fkow if the layout is inherently choppy.
