t happy dance of chocolate-peanut buttery anticipation

Ooh! Plus Harry Potter 5 is on its way, or will be. I think unfortunately its delivery date is Saturday, when I won't be here to get it. But I'll get it Monday (my birthday), which will be a nice present.

RL, that was beautiful.

Deena, you should see the rest of the pieces Liz did for that. They're all amazing.

(and I got to beeeeeeta them, she said with intolerable smugness)

I've actually never read anything long in 2nd person that I liked.

I read that and During the Reign of the Queen of Persia (possibly am mangling that title, it's been a while) in one long playing-with-POV-and-style weekend....

Thanks, Deena, love.

I'd love to see the rest. Where?

That's EXACTLY the execrable book I was thinking of when I said that!

Not posted yet anywhere. I wrote most of it a while ago, and was just working on the fourth and hardest section last night. I had deb in AIM convincing me to finish it.

I was evil, and wore leather, and bullied her mercilessly.

Because damn, it's a splendid set of pieces, all of it. And the fourth piece, definitely the most difficult in theme and execution, but, well, I have faith in my Lizard.

Okay, I want to read it whenever you're ready. Though, I'm sure that's a given. Go Deb in the leather.

taking a break, my fingers have given out on me. later lovelies.

That fragment was haunting, Lizard. I've never liked second, but this was arresting, poised, as you say, between first and third.

I'd really like to read when it's done.
