My new purse!. It treads that fine 80s' border between AMAZING and tacky.
3_ships stories were posted last week and author names have been added to I Saw Three Ships 2010. I wrote Twist to Fit for Amadi, which is White Collar Neal/Peter/Elizabeth. I didn't assign myself a story this year: I knew there would be a pinch hit I should (would need) to take, and I knew there was a pinch hitter who wanted to make up for dropping out last year who I could just give someone's original assignment. However, I think not having an assignment of my own to think about, so that my entire experience of the exchange was either drudge work or rushing with a deadline breathing down my neck, made this the least enjoyable round for me to date. I will not make that mistake again.
