Ahahahahaha! You scared me, Kosh. As I was reading I was thinking... "did I confuse him? Does he think I wanted het? Eeek!" The end was perfect and brilliant. Sneaky, but brill.
Yes, that's the point with drabbles, I'm afraid. You have to decide what's crucial to tell the story. I've found it to be a good writing exercise, myself.
And yes, km is the queen of the misdirect. I sensed her deft touch in there. *g*
First drabble -respondkoshweasleyApril 19 2006, 06:30:09 UTC
Thanks :) I had made it really short, and it was still 154 words. So, I cut and trimmed and made it 100. Then I changed a word here, ten words here, and it was at 125. Cut, cut, cut, and this was the end result.
I thought it would be a horrible experience, but it was quite fun.

Thank you! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The ending part was the part I kept changing. I didn't have the Mrs. Weasley, part in there, and I wanted it in. I had two endings to choose from too, like I told you via text mess. Marvin, a guy I work with, said he liked the romancy one better, than the jokey one. So that is what we ended up with.
I wondered over here to thank you for your comments on Matildabishop's LJ for Never Tell. Thank you, and yes, Ron tends to have a one track mind about loads of things. :)
I saw the Bill/Oliver and clicked. Then, like others, I thought I clicked the wrong thing! Good job! I like twists and turns, makes it fun! :)

I am very happy you liked this. It was hard to keep it at a hundred words.
I got the mis-direct from one of knightmare_shad's fics.
Really glad you liked it. :)

VERY well done. I must say, I was momentarily taken aback too. "KOSHIE is going to write het? The Apocalypse is surely upon us!"

I hope I do as well with the others.

I like the twists too, keeps the mind active, when you are drooling on your laptop.
