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!
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

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.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

I have a page in the St. Martins Minotaur fall catalogue, and the best cover ever!
