Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Matt, I have been tempted to do just that on many an occasion.

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

Recently I clicked on a fic with an uninspiring summary and really enjoyed the summary--enough that I had to tell her that her story was way way better than her teaser led me to believe--it even misled me about the plot.

Poor thing--I wasn't even the first commenter who'd said that. But to her credit, she did edit the summary at least twice more before I finished reading it, and they were better. Not great, but better. Never, I think, has an "I suck at summaries--try it anyway!" been more literally deserved, and she hadn't initially even said so.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I effin' hate summaries. For the record.

I'm tempted, should I ever write something for public consumption outside of Yuletide again, to just make all summaries moving forward quotes from Yoda.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Am reading an Avengers fic with surprise!DonnaNoble. House of Odin series. Which all kinds of strange since I just finished Alons'y Avengers.

English Muffins: and it's abandoned. Too bad.

Now onto a bootlegger fic. No! You can't have peepers and cicadas at the same time!

Because books.

This is sort of embarrassing, but has anyone read any good Snow White/Huntsman fic based on the movie? I have a craving.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

There were some stories in the last Yuletide.

The one I remember reading is this, which I thought was good, but may not scratch your itch.

Thank you, ma'am!

I see a Huntsman/William story, too, which might scratch a different itch.
