Help, help

[flambeau]

I signed up for the We Invented the Remix challenge. Now I feel a bit like Piglet wondering if Heffalumps or Woozles like very small animals in a breakfast, lunch, and dinner kind of way, and I don't even have a grandfather called Trespassers W

Heh. Luckily, you get that writer's entire works to choose from, minus the one safe-story, so hopefully we won't be stuck going "What the HELL amd I supposed to work with here?!?"

[flambeau]

::grin:: True. I was just thinking of those people who always write wonderfully atmospheric and ambiguous stories, and then I'd come along and... un-ambigue them? Un-ambiguate? Neologisms r us.

I couldn't think of anything to hold back as a safe story; I don't have that much stuff yet, so I didn't want to cut down on the selection. *g*

Hey! Totally off-topic, but I was wondering if you could confirm a rumor for me. Is it true that English isn't your first language? 'Cause if it is (true), you win. Something.

[flambeau]

English isn't my first language. What do I win? A dictionary? A lifetime subscription to International Slash Male? ::looks hopeful::

[nightlarke]

Oh... um... my personal worship for having better control of it than most native speakers? For being one of the best fanfic writers I've ever read period?

*flashbacks onto "Sweetly and Steadily", "Ghosts", "Beard", "Cakes and Ale", "The Weather Outside", and promptly dies*

Might I enquire as to what your first language may be?

[flambeau]

Wow, thanks. :-) That's much nicer than a dictionary... And my first language is Swedish.

(Completely irrelevant, but: every time I see your lj username I start singing "Oh the lark in the morning." Um. A lark by any other time of day would sound as sweet? *g*)
