teaser snippet: Leonard braids his baby's hair (215 words)

[kayliemalinza]

"Joanna's first visit to Starfleet Academy" won the poll!

(NB: Y'all remember that The Ex is black, right? Joanna's biracial. For those of you who haven't seen a lot of black/white biracial persons, their hair is pretty much a category all its own. There's a fairly wide range of what black/white biracial hair can look like (e.g. more black or

i might have accidentally cheated on that poll and I don't regret it at ALL

<3

[kayliemalinza]

How on earth did you manage to cheat?? And, ha, it did turn out rather well for you, didn't it? As I was posting the poll I realized that you'd already seen snippets from all the choices except this one.

[possibly_thrice]

Well see I was logged into some other account when I first saw this poll and voted and then later I saw it again all open and waiting and was like OH I MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN TO ACTUALLY MAKE MY CHOICE so I voted again. And. Well.

:'D

ANYWAY YES. Yes it did. It turned out wonderfully.

[kayliemalinza]

Ahaaaaaaaaaaa! I was suspicious about that one username I didn't recognize. >>

Considering that this snippet beat out Stoned!Pike by one vote, I think Re and leftarrow are allowed to beat you up now. >P

[possibly_thrice]

But-- but-- how could anyone want to beat me up after the snippet provided? :(

[kayliemalinza]

You underestimate their desire for stoned!Pike.

I mean really. Think of who we're talking about. Tender father-daughter moments aren't really in the running. >P

[possibly_thrice]

AHEM:

"Somebody's gotta tell you what to do."

Jim decides that is a very sensible thing to say.

...I was supposed to find that last line hot, right?

[kayliemalinza]

::sneeeeeeeeerk::

As long as we acknowledge that it's a different thing when Joanna bosses around McCoy from when Josa or Jim boss around McCoy, then yes, that line is hot. Not that I have thought a lot about McCoy getting bossed around everyone those two particular characters, or anything.

*ACKNOWLEDGES WITH ENTHUSIASM*

Right. So. Re_white and leftarrow can just man up and deal with the rest, sez I.

[kayliemalinza]

...or they can write some stoned!Pike of their own to inspire me. ^^

[possibly_thrice]

THAT WOULD WORK TOO

*encouraging nods all round*

[kayliemalinza]

You know, I was a little surprised that you didn't tick "you haven't finished the snippet I asked for LAST time" because it is true.

[possibly_thrice]

No, I thought I'd better just wait.

Patiently.

:)

[kayliemalinza]

You're allowed to remind me, though. I'd forgotten I'd written some bits. And now it's been so long that I can't read my own handwriting. :(

[possibly_thrice]

...tease.
