*Loves* Not sure what else I can say except I have put in an Amazon order because of your drabbles

[amazon_syren]

Really? (Meaning: You've ordered Monstrous Regiment -- or possibly some other Terry Pratchett book(s) -- from amazon.com?)
Cool! :-D
Although, be aware, if it *is* MR you've ordered, I've given away some of the story. :-)

I am glad-glad-glad that you like them. :-) Which was your favourite? :-)

Blatent self-promotion: Go to "Against the Trumpets" (website... you can click to it if you go to the "cheesemongers" lj community, which you can find on my info-page), and you will find many, many more of my stories under 'fanfiction'.

[ilthit]

Amazon, you need to learn how to link. :D http://hyel.thedanamark.net/trumpets/fanfiction/amazonsyren.htm

[amazon_syren]

I thought I *did* know how to link... um...

Anyway. Thankyou. :-)

Okay, since I have *glances* 20 minutes and I got everything else done, a round of C&C. I just broke my caffeine fast to get my brain in gear, so this is actually possible. Mmmm caffeine and sugar.Freedom: Really like the episode of Lofty looking at the match, seeing it as female and alive. Or perhaps she's using "she" as the general pronoun for every person ungendered as well as female

[amazon_syren]

Caffeine and sugar... and milk! Gotta have the milk! :-)

Re: Tag-system:
1) Didn't know about the shift-key. Excellent.
2) The problem (possibly due to my writing them all in, instead of doing the shift-key thing) is that (I got the challenge numbers wrong the first time I posted them and) when I went to fix the challenge-numbers, rather than getting rid of the original tags, it just added to them (Despite my deleting the contents of the field first).
So that's my trouble. :-)

Re: Comments: Wow! That was awesome! :-D

Re: Lofty and the fire-is-female: Yes, for Lofty, fire (because she loves it so, because it's so charming and alluring and beautiful and attractive) must be female

[ilthit]

No milk. I don't drink coffee; just the caffeine. :D And milk would not go with my energy drink

Anna wasn't surprised to find people bathing -- and it's a communal bathing room, so people using it (depending on the hour, at any rate) would have to deal with having multiple people in room with them.
Anna was surprised at finding two people sharing one tub (particularly two people of different (haha) sexes, sitting so very close together).
She'd heard the noises about an hour earlier (10am). Now it's about 11am and the couple, whoever-they-are, seems to have run out of energy.

Except that they haven't, they've just moved things to a different location.

Uh...

That's why Polly was blushing, you see. It wasn't just that a stranger had seen her naked (because, really, there wasn't that much to see of either of them above the soap), it was because she'd been giving Mal a good scrub (wink, nudge) under the water while Mal was washing Polly's hair. Which probably wasn't that obvious, come to think of it. ;-)

[ilthit]

Found more computer time!

Evidence: Excellent use of the challenge, there; it's all about dust, while not being about dust at all.

Hee. Think straight. As if she ever did.

Ahem.

Considering how passionate they were (yay inside knowledge of the OC) I wonder that she DIDN'T end up being the love of Mal's life. I'd be interested in reading more about what happened to her, and how the two of them remember their love decades later.

Also, that was very hot. And I can't write smarter reviews than this.

Carmine is... the one who got away. So to speak.

I think that Carmine... while she certainly held a great deal of affection for Mal, I don't know for sure is she loved her. I do know that, sometimes, on long days in Klatch, Carmine thinks about her, about what might have been if... all of that...
It should be pointed out that Carmine's understanding of what "all of that" was, is a little different from what actually happened... It includes Mal being sent away, and Carmine recovering from being dusted (And finding out *why* Mal was sent away) and going back to Klatch with her family who are Very Dissapointed in her.
It doesn't include Mal going squirrely because of it, or developing suicidal tendencies, or anywhere near that degree of self-loathing. It also doesn't include Mal becoming a black-ribboner.
As far as she knows, Mal is still swanning around craggy castles, probably married off to someone irritating and male, and busy as all hell seducing her sisters-in-law. Or something like that.
Carmine is not a black-ribboner. She

[ilthit]

Sounds very plausible. What does she do in the desert, then?

[amazon_syren]

She has a rich set of suites in Al Kali, and preys on people in the Bazaar after dark. :-)
Beyond that, I have no idea. :-)
