Guess who looks like a thief?
Yes, I do. Today, I was accosted upon suspicion of thievery. The security man and the manager of the grocery store I've been frequenting once a week for the past two and a half years stopped me and demanded to examine my bag. They seemed to think that I was a suspicious sort, and after having looked through my bag and found zero stolen items, they

I can't believe they put you through all that! I put items back all the time whilst shopping. You should file a complaint or patronize a new grocer in protest.
As for Big Bang, YOU CAN DOO EETTT!

Well, it's the grocer that's the closest to me, and while I can shop at some other places for some things, sometimes I just need to go there, otherwise I'd have to take the metro to get to another such store. I think my protest plan will be to make a habit of putting things back on shelves throughout the store each time I go, all over the place, and blatantly.
Thank you for the cheerleading, too, but I don't know, man, I just don't know. :'(

LOL, I agree with this plan of action!

I sympathize with Bigbang. I, too, will only meet the deadline by the skin of hen's teeth. :P I do hope to see your fic very much though! Remember, you have oodles of time to edit after the initial deadline!!! :D I'll send you all the writing-fu I can. :)

Thank you for your writing-fu. *clings* The way I feel about my story is, even if I can't finish it before the BB deadline, I'll still write it and post it to my journal and to the regular comms. So you should be able to see it at some point, I just don't know where and when. ;)

I'm sorry, baby. But I'll talk to you later, of course.
And I am VERY pleased to hear that you are intending to finish this story whatever. I *know* it will be really good (attempting to give encouragement whilst also avoiding applying unnecessary pressure - a tricky balancing act).
*love and hugs*
Oh, and if you used that writing tool to write this very amusing piece, then just carry on with it for everything, because it apparently has no negative effect on the quality of what you produce. Woo-hoo! :D

I appreciate the balancing act, my darling. I'm a tricky one, I know. :P And thank you for the encouragement - I feel like if I can just finish it, regardless of how it's done or when, I'll be very pleased. :)

Tee-hee! :D Yeah, it's quite the tool. :-o

I also need a porn miracle for BB (or a plot miracle... I'm not fussy). Good luck!!

I cannot BELIEVE what that store put you through, and without apology? If it were some random boutique, I'd say to shop elsewhere, but given that it's your regular grocery store... Grrrr.
I'm sorry it's been that kind of winter, and I hope the Big Bang pulls into line quickly. We've definitely missed you!
And randomly, I have to say how much the name "Marthapants" cracks me up. ;)

Yes, the store is definitely on my shit-list, but I know I can't avoid going there forever. My plan will be to move items all over the place indiscriminately, while looking as suspicious as possible. ;)
I really hope that my Big Bang pulls into line and stat! Although the whole thing is plotted, and in detail, I've only got about 3,500 words actually written so far, and I've got one week left... :'(
As for Marthapants, tee-hee! His official name is Martha the Yellow Bastard, but Marthapants is what I call him most of the time. He's also known as Fluffypants, Fluffmaster3000, Mr. Princess, the Benevolent General Krull, Killer, Red and Seymour.

The detailed plotting really seems to help you, though. The writing seems to go much more smoothly after that. Whereas I tend to wade in and see what happens usually, but I don't think that would fly for 20K words!
Hope you'll eventually read the longer M/L fic I just posted up. That's my epic word-limit for this fandom-- 6000 words! Previously was 5400 words, and I honestly only have a couple of things in that ballpark even for SPN. :0
It clearly sounds as if Marthapants is a fluffy orange tabby cat. You should post pictures! We used to have one when I was a child (who was more beige than orange, and he barely had stripes on his face and tail). His "official" name was Champagne, but he quickly became "Fatty" instead. Oh, the inevitable fate of so many neutered male cats!

I know! I saw yesterday that it had been posted, and I was all :-o and =D because I know how you feel about writing longer fics. Woo-hoo! And good job, woman! I'm not reading anything right now because reading fic makes me feel all guilty because I should be writing. :P However, the second I allow myself to read again, I'm coming for you!
It clearly sounds as if Marthapants is a fluffy orange tabby cat. You should post pictures! Marthapants is most certainly a fluffy orange tabby. Or possibly a Chantilly-Tiffany cat, or maybe a mix of those. In any case, he's orange/cinnamon, fluffy as all heaven's angels' wings put together, and a total treat whore. He'll snuggle anyone who feeds him. I'm just lucky that he's agreed with my plan that he live with me permanently - every day I let him out into the world, and every day he comes back, sleeps in my bed and spoons my feet ( ... )
