:: hand ::
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Because books.
Deena absolutely writes, as well.

Thrive to spite them
Can anyone participate even if you don't write a lot? When I was cleaning off my old computer and I found some poetry and a bit of fiction I started and it's made me want to write again. I'd love to participate in this if it's possible.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
What about a theme like "Vampires, Zombies and Things That Go Bump in the Night"?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I like the darkness theme kinda a lot. There's enough space there that we could go our separate Buffista directions without it getting too crowded in the middle.
eta: Oops! Not meaning to contradict, Ginger! I had the edit window open and was mulling.

I have to say, I like this best, too -- or better, I should say, than something as specific as Ginger's. It simply leaves more room to interpret, as Liese says.
askye, I've already said I think this should be open to anyone who wants to contribute, with the caveat that you might be asked to revise or otherwise edit. I don't know if we're consensing on that or what we're deciding, though.

I kinda skimmed. Thanks for the clarification.

That wasn't a "you skimmer!" smack, by the way. I'm just reiterating that *I* said that, but I'm not sure how everyone feels.
God, I suck when I type fast.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hand!
But not the Hand. Ninjas don't write. They lurk between the lines.
