Discovered on May Day

Hey, hi, happy Mayfly! [erm, welp, May Day didn't rhyme, yer know?]

To anyone who enjoyed "Contrary Virtue", my ficcage contribution to "Discovered in Temptation", I have commenced writing and posting the sequel. Part 1 can be found at:

Oh now, that's a nice start to the May Day festivities! I enjoyed every bit of it, from the conversation between the tarps, to the action, to the reporting to Cowley, and after. I love their opposite explanations about the brief to Cowley! Gosh and so many lines that I like:

"What do you imagine you're doing?"
Heh

"Too easy," Bodie assessed as they cuffed the miscreants. "Where's the joy of it, I ask you?"
Too right.

But, especially (because I'm a sap): "Knew you'd be there." Bodie draped his arm over Doyle's shoulder. "Was right. Mayday. Bah."

Thank you!

Aw. Greetings to my favorite 'sap'. Thanks for stopping by to chat.

Tried to cram a little of everything into this so-brief oneshot. Worked at the inaction, the action, and the good humor. But have to confess, the sap came quite spontaneously at the end.

Guess I'm a sap too. [who knew?]

Wonderful story!! I just love how you write these guys! You make it seem so incredibly effortless.

Thanks for posting and I will look forward to your sequel to "Contrary Virtue". :-)
XXXOOO

[pounces on The Lorraine. Much huggishness.]

So pleasant to find you in this locale. And you brought your brushes and canvas as well. Excellent.

Hmm. Must get on with Part 2 of Cras Tibi. See you there.

Glad you liked the ficcage, and delighted you brought your piccage.

Took me a moment to get used to your writing style but then I really enjoyed reading. Nice story, though I did have to look up a view words *G*

[asymphototropic]

Ooops. I don't strive for obscurity. But sometimes it tags along anyway.

Thanks for staying with me.

And pleased to meetcha [winks. hands over an oatmeal bickie.]

[schnuffi]

Pleased to meet you too *takes bickie and sniffs it suspiciously* Sorry, I always sniff things before I, erm eat them... *cough*

Will keep an eye on you and your fics ;)

Marina! Happy May Day. [presents a bouquet of violets with a ribbon and a flourish]

I must here confess to admiring the Findon Public Loo, and praise it. It is in the perfect location, and it is very clean and nice. Hope the good folks of Findon will forgive me for staging a fictional drugs drop there. The Cissbury Rings are spectacular, so worth a visit. I heartily recommend them to anyone contemplating a tour.

Glad you liked the Cowley lines. I've been trying to become better acquainted with him. He strikes me as very bold, and with a great sense of humor.

Interesting that Song of Solomon starts with SOS. Should have tried to work that into the Mayday theme, but don't think this tiny fic would have tolerated any more verbiage.

Did anyone explain to Rimmer about 'm'aidez', or was he left wondering? [don't know Red Dwarf. In our forest, we are lucky to receive the ABC Evening News if the weather conditions permit. Not alot of TV makes it through to us. meh.]

[asymphototropic]

Understood. A bit bleak, that. I think Stravinsky's notion of celebrating the Rite of Spring comes a lot closer to the heart than the Worldwide Workers' Vanguard, eh? Perhaps coming back to our primitive love of life offers us a more universally appreciated symbol? Just a thought...
