Er, right.

I've always been more of a novel-length writer, so I decided I'd use this group as a chance to write some short-short-short style bites. Which means at this point, this is going to seem more like a fragment than a good, well put together short. Apologies! [And as I'm posting this at work, I'm going to cross my fingers that no vital words get

Oh, I'm just SHAKING with laughter. Of course he's an expert. Of COURSE. And of course Klaus would feel that way about it. This mental image is PRICELESS.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[caithion]

Oh, thanks! I'm very glad that the picture in my head made it out there in word form.

Oh! That was fantastic. I have no idea what's going, but I like that. You managed to capture one precise moment without us needing to worry what came before or what will happen after. It looks like your experiment is already a success!

[caithion]

I'm so glad it worked. I'm very nervous about short form, because I'm not good at saying exactly what I want clearly. I tend to ramble; I wish I could capture more of the style you used in your Tigra fic. Practice makes perfect.... ;)

[schuyler]

Yay for practice! ::sharpens pencils for next week::

It's good.

Do not fear the ficlet. It, along with the snippet and the drabble are our friends, and this is a good example of why- in just a few sentences you wrote Klaus, getting his personality- his voice- perfectly.

And also, Klaus attempting to ride a unicyle (and I can just picture him, finding the whole thing ridiculous and beneath him, and still not willing to be less than brilliant at it) while Dorian -who probably does this sort of thing all the time- circles around, just being infuriatingly *better* at it than him...

It's good.

Do not fear the ficlet.

Words to live by.

And you got it exactly! I think it's scary how well you can read into my fics. Maybe I should just give them over to you to write!

[kylandra]

Oh lord, this image is *priceless.* Klaus trying so earnestly to master something he finds so ridiculous, since Dorian's good at it...perfect.

Don't worry about the length, I think this is fine for what you're working at. The situation and Klaus' mental/emotional state is shown perfectly, and while I'm certainly curious as to what happened to lead up to this, it's not *necessary* for me to be thoroughly entertained by it.

[caithion]

Ah, thank you! I'm very glad I managed to get things onto 'paper' like I wanted to. Klaus' mental state is a scary thing..... ;)

Re: *laughs and laughs*

[caithion]

Yay! I'm so glad! Everyone who reviewed has been positive, so I shall indeed do some embracing of the snippet in the future! I'm so glad you were entertained!
