I swear I'm going to stop reading your posts before I write my own entry.

First off, I read these and think, "Really, what's the point? This is so fucking good, it would be a waste of effort to try to top that." Second, ... well, I can't help but wonder what the counterpoint to this would be or worse, I've had the same idea five minutes before I read this.

Either way, this is a great bit of story. I'd love to see this elongated (Is that the right word, here?) into a theme for the month.

OMG! You are making me blush so much! Go on and get out of here, you! I can't even believe what I am reading. You and I are tied here in week 4, so hearing you talk like that is rubbish, you hear me? Rubbish! I vote for you constantly because you are an awesome writer! And I have to tell you ... I definitely DON'T read anyone else's entries before I write my own, because I feel the same way. I also worry that everyone is getting sick of me, so I am glad to hear you think I've still got something worth reading. *whew*! :D *hugs*

Tied for first place? I think you have me confused with bardiphouka, and to be honest, I totally agree that. Y'all should be tied for first place. That story you two wrote over the course of this month was incredible. It will be a well deserved win for the both of you.

[keppiehed]

Well, at one point you were ahead. And I have to tell you, with this batch of authors, I hate having to be in a poll at all. We should be the first group that shares the crown 4 ways. Wouldn't that be a perfect end to the month?

How odd we think of Rocking as sadness. Is it because it is a motion of comfort. This poor soul probably lies in bed, to-ing and fro-ing...rocking rocking... Keppie I love you, but please... next one, or a JFF and let him or someone find an armful of love, gather them in and rock and rock with love and happiness.
I think I shall have to. Feeling sad again now. its so beautifully dreamful, and then.. The field of clover, running running through the clover... red of course? Oh, the promise before the fear... its gloriously sad... and keppie-ish! LOve and HUGS to you.

[keppiehed]

*laughs* It's funny that you say "keppie-ish", as if I had a style. And that the style would be sad! I am sorry to descend into melancholy, especially near the already depressing holiday season. I can't seem to help myself! It's my natural state of being! I shall work to cheer it up for the rest of December, and you shall be my counterpoint. Does that seem like a good deal?

[bluegerl]

Yeah =lets get swinging together eh, dear lass. Shall have to work on it! But we will!

If your stories weren't so damn good, I'd yell at you for your continual sadness. It amazes me how, even though we are in a dream, in so few words, we can go from such blissful happiness, to such overwhelming sadness. Nice job.

[keppiehed]

Aw, you! I thought of you as I was writing this and I thought for sure you'd hate it because it wasn't very plotty. But I was overwhelmed with linear storylines for all of November, so I had to go all blah for December. :)

Hey, about the note you sent: JUST got it! We have been without power for almost 24 hours. Can you believe it?! I realize that I don't like anyone I am related to after that experience. Also, I am sick. Ugh. But I am home today, and I can't wait to get started. I am so excited! *squees*

At last I'm back and able to leave comments, so here I am reading your wonderful tales.
This one is the happy idyll overcome by sadness.
Now, I have to backtrack and read the last month-or-so's offerings. From the sound of the previous reviews I'd better go and get some tissues first.

[keppiehed]

I thought it had been awhile since I'd seen you around. I hope all is well with you. And don't worry about reading all my old stuff. It's just more of the same; Like a fruitcake, it'll last forever! But you should check out HBART's stuff over at TPP if you didn't get the chance. I am so proud of her! She did great at the LDWS, and everything she writes is really fun to read. I think we can all use something uplifting during the holidays! :)

[quaffswinegaily]

I've been and read HBART's writing. She's pretty damn good, isn't she? I'm so glad you managed to persuade her to start posting, she's got talent which deserves acknowledgment. And she even managed to fit in Harry's frilly, pink knickers which we've been nagging her about for ages. What a star!

[keppiehed]

Ah, I think I might have mentioned a slump in writing? This feels like one of them! Look away! *grimaces*
