OI.

Sandy. Keanu. Babeh.

OI.

I hate you for not letting her be pregnant. *pout*

moore_oaks October 24 2006, 15:23:17 UTC

It just wouldn't make sense. I try to make the stories a nice balance of reality and fiction, and her being pregnant would just throw the universe out of wack. Still, I guess I could have let them have this little moment. :)

And don't think I didn't notice how you carefully avoided saying whether the story was written well or not, choosing to talk about the pregnancy and leaving me to wonder if you even liked it .... I KIIIDDDD. ;D

But seriously, now that I know your tricks I am slightly paranoid.

HAH. I would never do that to you-your writing is fantastic. Fantastic details (and yes, you used the five senses, DO NOT WORRY), fantastic dialogue, fantastic ending, fantastic everything. I've always admired your writing, so, um...keep feeding me. :)

And I'm thinking of starting one of my own tables, but I'm worried it might be too time-consuming, what with my fic going on over at Joshfics. Maybe when I'm done with that one? *nod nod* But I would never know who to choose...ugh.

Hah, I should tell you--I was watching TV last night and saw an ad for a big Honda sale in Joliet and was like, I should go check it out, and then I was like JOLIET. KATIE. HFIASNFSKANFASKLFANKFSA.

OK, Annie's done. :D

moore_oaks October 25 2006, 20:03:44 UTC

I love you. :D

YES! THE FIVE SENSES!! I was so thinking about that when I wrote about how Keanu smelled the syrup on his fingers - "Ha ha, the sense of smell!"

I have an entire entry in my journal about how you intimidate me and I was like, "Who is this anniekins127? Why is she not writing a novel?" LOL I love how we love each other's writing!

Definitely do NOT do a table yet. It consumes your life. I'm just glad that I love Keandra to the extent I do, because if I did a table with anything I had lukewarm feelings about I would probably stop after two stories.

wow. gorgeous. perfect. wonderful, fantastic. :) You have AIM right? You should come on sometime soon so I can get your opinion on some relationship stuff. You understand. :) Have a good night.

moore_oaks October 24 2006, 16:19:36 UTC

I'm talksomemoore on it. I'll try to be on around 8 tonight, but my Internet connection is shaky so we'll see.

joannacullen October 24 2006, 18:20:57 UTC

I know how that goes. I will actually probably not be around at 8, have a hayride with FCA to go to. But hopefully we can talk soon. :) Have a good day.

If I remember correctly you said they were having tea that night.... whoo hooo!!

Another fabulous read :) I love that Sandy slapped Keanu ..I dunno, I felt he kinda deserved it for acting the way he did. Poor Sandy ...

I have to tell you that , you almost made me cry .. aww . I always have a favorite line of paragraph for all of your stories, and this is my favorite one...

"“I wanted him too,” he admits softly. “I wanted this too.” And between the worry if she was pregnant and the anxiety over media reaction, he hadn’t consciously given thought to the baby. But seeing Sandra’s disappointment made him realize … he wanted it to happen. It wasn’t just that he would be a father and have a child, but that it’d be both his and Sandra’s, a literal product of their love. His melancholy eyes, her infectious laugh, their dark hair all combined into a treasured little human being. The thought that the two of them were so close at something so preciously their own causes him to hold her tighter.Thanks for writing such a beautiful story (it's ( ... )

moore_oaks October 24 2006, 16:26:45 UTC

And here I thought people were going to be angry that she slapped him. HA! How wrong was I? I guess he deserved it a little. But emotions were high! He was confused!

Ah. I knew that paragraph would get people - I admit, I was choking up a little myself writing it.

Aw, thank you. :)

danamulder October 24 2006, 08:30:55 UTC

Oh. Oh.

Wonderfully done, Katie. I'd say I'm speechless, but I'd be a big liar, 'cause I'm never speechless. I am in awe though. This was so raw, and real, and painful. Because I had a feeling she wouldn't be and that when she wasn't, they'd both realize they wanted it.

“I wanted him too,” he admits softly. “I wanted this too.” And between the worry if she was pregnant and the anxiety over media reaction, he hadn’t consciously given thought to the baby.

His melancholy eyes, her infectious laugh, their dark hair all combined into a treasured little human being. The thought that the two of them were so close at something so preciously their own causes him to hold her tighter.I obviously have the same favorite paragraph as Cheryll, but it's a stellar paragraph. It just sums up everything wonderfully, with such depth and feeling ( ... )

moore_oaks October 24 2006, 16:32:35 UTC

There really was no other way to play it. I was considering having her be pregnant, but that's just a little too much fiction. Plus there would be this big cliffhanger of WHAT happened to the baby and WHERE it is now. And, let's face it, angst trumps happiness any day.

Beautiful, I'm not sure. Pretty, maybe. But thanks. :D

danamulder October 25 2006, 09:54:40 UTC

Oh, I know. But you know me and my obsession with Keandra babies. ;) LOL

You're too hard on yourself. Cut that out. ;)

Hi, Kettle. I'm Pot. I guess we're all our own worst critic, but you write wonderfully. Don't doubt that.

cecism October 25 2006, 02:41:08 UTC

Oh, kill me now - how did I not know about your 100_situations's until now? Argh. Ignorance is not bliss.

Anyway, my heart broke in this. And I mean it in a good way, because not many pieces do that to me. I love how its woven with such bitterness but yet such desperation from the both of them. And, weird as this is going to sound, I'd much prefer the way you did this as opposed to having her pregnant. Angst is so underrated. ;) This was just a total heart-twister, and the fact that you made me feel it so marks a very well-written, awesome piece.

Now I have to read all the others that I'm missed. (I hate being late on a bandwagon! LOL) Except I really have to study. Meh. When I fail tomorrow's exam I'll just have to blame you, Keanu, and Sandra. ;)

moore_oaks October 26 2006, 00:12:56 UTC

Yes yes yes, pregnancy was most certainly not the way to go with this. It was debated but, of course, too fictional. I am trying to keep these as reality based as possible, even if the scenario is fictional.

Thank you! Angst and I are twins; it does not seem to want to let me go. :D

Oh, don't fail the exam! They'll still be here tomorrow! :D
