Ficlet: A Palpable Hit

Jan 13, 2010 14:03

*creeps out of lurkerdom and winces at the brightness of the sunshine on the snow*

It's only 518 words and hasn't had any beta input but please enjoy! It was our lane and car park that inspired me so have a picture, too. (There's a trailer at the end but I don't know how to point to it from here.)

Aw.... and isn't that just the perfect exchange to end it on??? Thank you, this was lovely.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah, that's nice! (Love the photo, too--you do do pretty snow in England.) And see? Snow is magical! Witness Cowley joining in! This is a lovely way to start the day--and I love the palpable hit. *g*

Thank you!

I wanted to express that moment of playfulness that hits even the hardest worker! Glad you enjoyed!

I did enjoy it! A lot!
And of course it was Bodie! :-)

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!

Yes, I'm sure it was!! Glad you liked it!

Ooh, not read it yet, but with modly-hat on, could you possibly put the story and trailer under a cut, please? The pic is fine left out at the top though - fun! *g* Thank you!

ETA - Oh, and I've just noticed it's locked too - would you mind terribly unlocking it? There are still some non-lj people who like to see the stories etc from Dialj too... (If you've got a very specific reason for locking, then do let me know!)

moth2fic January 13 2010, 15:30:54 UTC

Hope I've sorted it out. *beats self over the head and is mortified* I hadn't realised the locking worked that way - as you know, my own journal is locked down very tight!! I never thought of non-LJ readers. And sorry about the lack of cut. I'll learn - promise - or just crawl back under a rock somewhere!!

byslantedlight January 13 2010, 15:59:13 UTC

Nononononono! No need for beating! *g* Lots of people seem to lock their ljs these days (it didn't seem to be so much when I first came onto lj - that's how the world goes, I guess... *g*) so no worries. I don't think we even mention it on the user page, just assume that people will default to unlocked - I'll see what I can do about that, in fact. And no worries about the cut either, it's easy enough to mention... *g ( ... )

Leave the modly thread! Other newbies might find it useful! I use html so pleas elaborate about the cuts. obviously I know how to do a cut but not two! Or at least, not like that!

Oh, that was fun - love the thought of them all with that holiday-in-the-snow atmosphere, playing snowballs! And I did like the nice warming end... *g* Yeay for non-lurkdom - shall hope the thaw is inspiring too... *g*

moth2fic January 13 2010, 15:32:18 UTC

Glad you liked it after all the hassle of the locks and cuts!! *g*
