Challenge: ‘late’
Rating: G
Notes: No spoilers, but mentions alcoholism; does that need a warning?

He awoke one morning to see Kurt sweeping up broken glass and he realised that he’d failed him; left him to heal and attend himself

I wandered over here because of your lovely comment on one of my fics, and I have to say, I love your drabbles.
They're so introspective and lovely.

We should be friends! *beaming*

Thank you! I wrote them for the wmhs100 community and put them on my page first because I’m useless at the posting thing and need practice; technology baffles me!

I just friend-ed you....hope that’s okay? It may be a bit one sided whilst I attempt to get over my writers block, but I’d love to keep up with your fics :D

Hahah, aw, well if you need any lj help I'd be glad to give you a hand... I've had an lj since 2003 (this is my secret fandom lj, hahah).

Lol! I’ll most probably be taking you up on that....it doesn’t matter how many different computer packages I use, I always seem to start from scratch when I meet a new one. Learning CAD was a nightmare!

I can totally understand having a secret fandom journal; I like to pretend that I don’t spend a scary amount of time trawling the communities....it’s far too addictive.

I was more embarrassed about my fics than anything. :x

I guess if I got found out I wouldn't really care that much.
Maybe I'll grow a pair and just link the two.

I know what you mean; I don’t have any day-to-day use for creative writing (I normally use maths more often than English) so I’m never quite sure whether I’m writing anything good or not!

Though, your fics aren’t anything to be embarrassed about; I’ve already mentioned that I really enjoy your take on the prompts :). You manage to keep everyone in character and don’t go overboard on the angst....I especially love your Kurt.

[nephrops]

Math is horrifying to me, hahah.
I'm in college getting my degree in art history, so I actually write a lot, but essays and things like that, never really any creative writing.

*blush blush*
You're toooo kind.
Not that I don't love every word you type, hahah.

[aspiring_prole]

Maths seems to be the unfortunate hazard of wanting to do anything science-ish; it grew on me though and I quite like it now :)

I’m pretty bad at essays; if you let me, I’ll ramble on about nothing thinking I’m making a good point, before glossing over the main focus in a sentence and abandoning it. It’s probably a good thing that I rarely have to use full sentences!

Haha; if you keep filling prompts I’ll no doubt type lots more :D

[nephrops]

I tried science but I couldn't get through chemistry without sleeping through it, hahah.
D:

[aspiring_prole]

Chemistry has that effect on people...it’s only good for the experiments!

I’m off to pick up my GF from work now; I’ll already be in trouble when she see’s my poor attempts at a CV without being late! It’s fun chatting to you....I’ll probs pester you more later (if that’s okay?) :D

[nephrops]

Even those couldn't save chemistry for me, hahah.

Of course we're going to chat more later, that's why we friended eachother. :)))
