Or the fact that whenever I see a picture of a LIVESTRONG bracelet, my first thought is that it's the One Ring.
'Serenity'
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Your words are foul corrupters, sir, and they've diverted my perfectly cooperative words into pathways of indolence and nonproductivity. You, sir, have hooligan words.

I read Frodo as Fredo and then I was like "Gaming license Fredo? Or the guy that's gonna make Leahy's head explode?" But that probably won't happen to everyone.
I'd never heard (or maybe it never sunk in) "drabble" before coming here.

Do youse guys know where these things and their rules originated?

My naysayers in my head keep going, "Yeah, but Deena already knew you could write plus she likes you so she'll take you on" plus "it's only a short story" plus "e-publishing, right, it's not like a book display in Barnes & Noble" plus--the biggie--"what if no one buys it, other than the friends and family type folks?"
My naysays should all be smacked so I can just gaze at that webpage and beam. Too bad one of those naysayers is Hubby. Smacking him makes bits fall of.
Congratulations, connie!
How are your efforts progressing, Susan?
