Awaiting new topic from Teppy, who I believe is a) not feeling well, and b) entertaining SA.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She should take a sick day, and make SA come up with the topic, in lieu of rent.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ooops! Something was nagging at the back of my brain all day, and I couldn't think of what it was that I needed to do. Ahem.
Challenge #42 (fire) is now closed.
Challenge #43 is a "scene" challenge, which I haven't done in a while, where I tell you who's in the scene and what they're doing, and you drabble it. Two people -- one sitting, one standing. Drabble your talented hearts out.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Huh.
I just made myself cry with my own writing. I can't remember if I've ever done that before.
Which probably means the bit that brought on the weeping is either the best or the suckiest thing I've ever written.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm thinking best, Susan. I'm always impressed when I go back and read something I wrote and even I laugh. I figure if my own jokes can take me by surprise, I did something right. So if you're making yourself cry, I think you're on the right track.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Maybe. But I've found that many scenes I thought were beautiful, artistic works of subtle foreshadowing and layered themes at the time I was writing them were actually too clever by half and had to be deleted the next day--or usually a month or two later when I was finally objective enough to judge. So it wouldn't surprise me if what strikes me as touching today will reveal itself to be maudlin once I've come down from the writer high.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Teppy, are we celebrating an anniversary? Two people, one standing, one sitting was the first-ever drabble we had, I think. Wasn't it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I thought the first was one standing, one lying down.

Porno
oh please oh please...
It's a dare. She's dared herself, and of course he's taken her up on it. It's what they do; she charging headlong into shadow, light, the echo of dark disturbance, he egging her on, reaping the reward.
pleasepleaseplease
It was he who upped the ante, suggesting the high heels. No way to say to say no, not for her. Now, wearing nothing else, she stands as he sits and makes himself comfortable, and reaches behind her and pulls her close.
A few minutes later, she goes down in a puddling heap. And he wins another dare.
