Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
GO DANA!
AND OTHER SUCCESSFUL YULETIDERS!
(from those of us who knew better than to even try...)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Dude! I happened to have reloaded the main page just in time to catch Nestra's as the most recent upload.
Congratulations -- with 1 day to go, you're in like the 85th percentile for distance-from-the-deadline.

From a fanfic I just read:
“Yes?” He drawled out, deepening the nonexistent accent life had left him with.
How does one deepen something that doesn't exist?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How did life take away his accent to begin with?
How do you leave someone with something non-existent?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Gone were the soft consonants and liquid vowels he had acquired growing up in the delta. Life, that hard bitch, driving him north and midwest, had muddied his pristine dialect, had eroded the cadences of his childhood even as it stripped him of other attributes and beliefs he'd steeped in as he grew to adolescence"?
Erm, he was sort of a teabag of regional accent, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
As an early Christmas present to myself, I have rationalized my way out of taking a pinch hit.
"Yes, you just reread those books, but she wants a story focused on someone who's not your favorite character. It's probably already taken. Just be happy you managed to write one story."

As an early Christmas present to myself, I have rationalized my way out of taking a pinch hit.
I'm going through all the pinch hits right now, deleting everything I can't do, and keeping all the things I might possibly be able to write in 24 hours.
I really shouldn't take one, but we'll see.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have one that I've kept in my inbox, but I'm rationalizing really hard.
And keeping an eye on the ones that are still dropping.
