Anything, Even This (part 2)

Continued from hereA year passes. Hardly seems possible, but a year is passing all the time. Lyj and Janet write another opera. Esmee starts kindergarten. Lyj continues not to move out of the house. Smalley spends three long weekends with Carter and Rohin and becomes convinced that the convent is the best place for her, since she'll never have

To borrow a word from a former coworker, beautimous. Absolutely beautimous. This was painful and funny in equal measure as I hoped Smalley and Hollyhock would find common ground. And the end...perfect.

[half_double]

Thanks muchly, as always. Given the way their story ends up working itself out, that mix of funny & painful is about the best I could've given their beginning. Glad you liked.

[liquidskin]

Wow.

That is all my brain can formulate at this particular moment...

Do you have any more of your writing available for my reading-ness?

(You'll have to excuse my insanity)

[half_double]

I do, indeed, excuse your insanity, 'cause I have plenty of my own. Thanks for the comments; I'm glad you enjoy the story.

As for other writing, there's "The God and the Machine", which is a companion piece of sorts to this one. And you can always meander over to my web site, where there's a 10-minute play called "City Saturday Nite," as well as last year's NaNo novel, Without the Tights.

Thanks, I'm just about to start reading Without the Tights =) I hope you don't mind, but I added you as a friend... You intrigue me =P

[half_double]

Friend away! And I will friend you back. I've been called many things in my life (many of which can't be repeated in polite company), but I think this is a first for 'intriguing.'

Hope you enjoy the lesbian superheroes!

"I dropped my ball marker."

Smalley automatically stars looking around. "Where?"

*snerk*

"So I put in another one for you," Nan chirps. "Twice that! She'll never catch up."

Smalley stops dead in the middle of the Oak Room, causing several fine, upstanding, drunken members of the medical establishment to slam against her and mutter something that might've rhymed with 'pike.' "Thank you, Nan," she says in a strangled voice.

*SNERK*

This was wonderful and funny and dream fufilling. I wish to possess Smalley's luck/charisma field, well if I wasn't already attached at the hip.

Ma'dam, a truly joyful read. *bows*

::snort:: No, believe you me; you do not wish it. Oh, the things I put that poor woman through....

Ma'dam, a truly joyful read. *bows*

::curtseys:: Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

I really like it. I want to read more, and have you ever read anything by Nicola Griffith? Maybe you'd like her. Write more.

[half_double]

You didn't tell me this was a horror story.

I find the shock value increases when the readers have no warning.

Oh, yeah, and thanks for reminding me that I still need to read Without the Tights.

I love reading NaNo novels in the middle of the year. ::Stanley scuttles off to find Five Years After::
