ff: nothing like you and i

There are bathroom habits and laundry preferences and post-local news ramblings that both charm and grate, but of all the new things he’s learned - the every day revelations that have enhanced his life exponentially - the way her socked feet sound against the floor during the sun-shy moments of the day is the most delightful.

haha, thank you!

Lucky she has lots and lots of fics already written, but its like, yeah, I'm gonna need new fic. Especially with the season finale approaching. Babies are great, but I don't have one and need this stuff.

Ohh this is beautiful! I love this kind of fic, they leave the most delightful taste in the mouth, like the best box of chocolates :)

Aw, thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed.

aww, its been so long, but this was so sweet. Thank you.

No, thank you for reading and commenting, I'm so pleased you liked it.

These are great. I really like the one-sentence fics. It's kind of tingly to get a complete, fleshed-out snapshot in a single sentence.

cantbesilent March 10 2009, 02:20:41 UTC

Thank you. Its quite an enjoyable challenge trying to get it right in just a sentence so I am very pleased that you liked them.

Love love love love love these! But then, I always have loved the way that you write. :-)

Some of these are perfect little stand-alones and others just make me think they are a perfectly self-contained excerpt from a much longer piece. I enjoyed them all so much!

Oh, thank you, I'm so flattered. Its a fun challenge to try and pack it in so few words. I've never quite had the creativity or the stamina for really long pieces, even my longer ones were only a few pages on Word. So this challenge is right up my alley!

I totally understand. I generally write shorter pieces myself. That's why I really enjoyed those 100 word drabble challenges back when tww100 was still active. It takes a lot of effeort to get your thoughts across when your dealing with a limited word count.

It really can be harder. Fic can be tough enough, but when you are working without parameters you can just do whatev. With limits on length is like, okay, how can I convey time, mood, tone, action, feelings, etc and present the reader with a clear picture/tell a whole story in 100 words/1 sentence. Its a head-scratcher and really fun.
