Heh. Nice one.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

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

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sail, I love your "mama please" drabble, and connie, hah! I'm really loving all the drabbles. This week's topic has been a resounding success as a writing prompt. A sheaf of tulips, a decent bottle of wine and the fancy chocolate to Teppy in gratitude!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Everytime I start to post a comment, someone has written another drabble I think I should comment on. I'm overwhelmed by the excess of riches.

If anyone's interested, a couple of Buffy fanfic authors have started there own e-publishing website, Linden Bay Romance, for romantic novels. The page for submissions can be found here.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
OK, I need a reason for a smart character not to pay attention to a trap besides walking into it being hella climactic for me, God The Author.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Massive psychological blindspot? Overthinking X plot development so that he stumbles in to Y? Actual physical stumbling? being betrayed/lied to?
Or my favorite, knowing a trap is a trap and springing it to learn more about one's enemy.

She's feeling bad, too. Like saying the wrong thing got somebody killed.

erika, a distraction? Something not too Hand of God coincidental stakes a claim on her attention?
Alternately, my favourite reason: pure hubris. After all, even the meekest have some, and it usually does show up at the worst possible time.

She lusts in her heart a lot. Not that that is a problem for me whatsoever(see, dodging avatar questions already...this must be for real)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
If it's Monday, it must be drabble time!
Challenge #49 (the photos from Look At Me) is now closed. But you can expect a return of that topic (with different photos), since everyone seemed to love it, and it resulted in such excellent drabbles.
Challenge #50 is in the spirit of "Show; Don't Tell": portray a person by describing the belongings in his/her wallet, desk drawers, kitchen cabinets, car trunk -- you name it. The person can be a fictional character of your OWN (please no Buffy, Klinger, Batman, etc.), or a real person. Up to you.
