Lizard, um. Will be thinking about that one for days to come. So powerful. The images just singe onto the inner retina. Hurts. But in a good way.
Cindy--nargh. Maybe tonight. It took me 15 minutes to find the thread and now I have to run again.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

But your Joyce was so damned real. She was alive again. sniff Just 15 minutes. It'll take you mind off the smell of your walls. Really!
I can't write my name in fifteen minutes.
You, my dear, can have as long as you want. This is to kick in the arse, those of us who need kicking in the arse. You've been quite prolific lately. And damn! You're good.

deb, you're going to play? Woo hoo.
Plei! 45 minutes! Yes! Yes! Oh my! Yes!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm going to play, definitely, assuming I ever get 15 minutes in which to breathe.
There is no record of Target Corporate HQ phone number in Minneapolis. I klnow they're HQ'd in Minneapolis. All I want is to tlak to someone about ordering books.
Feh. I'd rather be writing, damnit.
edit: whoohoo! Nic found it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Score!
I have sent people to Anne, and lo, they liked! (Sorry, I just always get happy when pimpin' works.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Sweet! Thank you ever so much, Plei. Getting your seal of approval on a Wes-centric fic was a wonderful way to start the morning.

You were supposed to get it last night, but I read and spaced about gushing until after your bedtime. *g*
It's really, really good.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Hm. If you liked that fic, then you might like Chuck Palahniuk's latest, Diary. ... I really, really didn't, though, and actually wrote it just because I was so angry at the laziness of his style and wanted to show that I could do it, too, I just choose not to because I think it's too easy, inelegant, cheap.

There was nothing remotely inelegant about the prose in yours, Liz. It was sleek and if there was a lot of surface, there was also an astonishing amount of yin, hinted at rather than offered.
So I don't call your piece lazy, cheap or inelegant. I call your piece subtle.
edit: also, I have a lifelong "AHEM" going with the idea that finding something easy automatically renders it worthless. The fact that you may finding writing something easy means only that you have an affinity with it. If all the piece offered was surface gloss, I would feel the disconnection, shrug, and forget its existence; see Literary for my own take on William Gibson.
That doesn't apply to yours.
