Yeah, I'm still alive. Been busy:

- fangirling over Byakuya
- meeting up with friends with complicated romantic entanglements (the shipping hexagon of doom does happen in real life!)
- watching Beowulf (oh, Neil Gaiman, I love you -- did you write in all the butt naked fighting scenes?)
- reading my latest acquisition, Umberto Eco's On Ugliness -

*pokes Laurie* I... I... Well. before I say anything, first, have some fried apples!

*directs Laurie over to my LJ*

...

Okies. Had some? (Yum!)

Now. I must say that I'm totally with you in fangirling over Byakuya, too! Was going through the Byakuya-badass (how many times have I repeated this phrase since the weekends?) bits in 302 with my cousin, and changing my MSN back to (Byakuya-badass!) over and over.

*blinks* You'd better get over to doing the ByaChiru fanfic, and soon! (Will it include the info I'd linked you to? Hmm? *whispers* ...a secret room!...)

P.S. My Blue's near the end. Near the end. I'm left with a stupid 200 words. That's totally cutting off the story. And it was going off so well with the mermaid... now I can't even let her tell 'me' her name! Argh.

P.P.S. All the best with your 50,000 words. Hoped the (fried) apples inspired something...

I saw the apples. They look yummy. :D

Ah... Byakuya. I will not pre-empt my own story because the last couple of pages are giving me trouble. Hopefully I will be done this week so I can get on with other important stuff. Hopefully.

On your story, if you're working with a maximum word count and need to spin it out some more, go back and start deleting all the adverbs. If that's not enough, start deleting adjectives too. I know it's a pain to do but it should help.

Chocolate!
I was at a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf this morning/afternoon. Got a Belgian Chocolate Frap, and started working on my Ginpaku scarf.(I haven't met anyone who spends about an hour in a Coffee Bean working on her scarf. Thank goodness I was virtually the only one there.)

That's before I saw the chocolate stains of my hands, worried that I would get it onto my precious scarf, and quickly wiped off the sticky brown stuff... thinking of Yachiru. And Byakuya.

Catch my drift? *coughs.storyidea.coughs*

Just so you know. :D

Oh, I love Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf too. I'm always there with my friends. :) They have a very good cheesecake.

I haven't done that in a long time... knit (or crochet) in public.

On story ideas, I already had Yachiru eating chocolate. :) Do you want to feed some to Byakuya too? Ahh. Kinky!

I don't think he's a chocolate kind of guy though. He'd go for the more traditional Japanese desserts... you know, the ones they make according to season.

[bunnisteffi]

*shakes head* No!

Uh... uh. Chocolate! Scarf! Choc on scarf! Yes!

0.0 It's pure randomness, I tell you.
