The Peter Disturbance, Hey Jealousy, PG jessicajason January 19 2010, 20:42:29 UTC

First of all, I can't believe no one has posted anything yet. Second of all, I'm more a consumer of fic than a producer, so here goes nothing.His name was Peter. He was tall and good-looking in a vapid kind of way. Penny had met him of the set of some commercial she'd been cast in, and they'd apparently been going out for almost a month ( ... )

Re: The Peter Disturbance, Hey Jealousy, PG regalish January 20 2010, 18:08:35 UTC

Aww. I thought I'd posted a response to this and it didn't go through. Lame, LJ.

But anyway: Thank you for posting! I'm not sure why it's taking everyone so long this time around, either. But for being a self-proclaimed fic "consumer" rather than a "producer," I'd have to say this was one very-well constructed piece.

And you used my prompt the precise way I hoped someone would. Every character was spot-on, and Howard's last line was just aces. It would be just like Sheldon to react this way, to be jealous without ever acknowledging (or maybe realizing) that that's what he is.

Loved this!!

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. I'm working on a sequel, which is based on the prompt Accidentally in Love, but it's coming out longer than a drabble. It will be posted at paradox if anyone is interested. When it's posted, I'll come back here with a link.

Re: The Peter Disturbance, Hey Jealousy, PG regalish January 22 2010, 14:37:23 UTC

Definitely do that! What we typically do in drabble-a-thons is post the first relevant section and then you can link us to the rest -- that way it'll act as a 'tease' for the Chaos Theory readers :D

Very sweet tag for a not-very-sweet episode. Well done!

Re: The bat reaction, I dare you to move, PG veryberry_19 January 20 2010, 21:58:30 UTC

Hehe I liked your interpretation of the promt! Good job :)

Re: The bat reaction, I dare you to move, PG renisanz January 24 2010, 17:22:58 UTC

Aww. This was sweet. I just rewatched this episode and really wanted to read something like this. :)

Paranoid Android, PG spaceanjl January 20 2010, 13:12:13 UTC

a/n - this is a tag to my fic 'Running Up That Hill', so it won't make sense unless you've read that ( ... )

Re: Paranoid Android, PG renisanz January 24 2010, 17:28:58 UTC

Hmm...seems like I should read that other fic then. I'm so behind and people have been posting stuff like crazy, esp. since the help_haiti auctions.

Ribbons of Green, bride and groom's first dance, PG veryberry_19 January 21 2010, 00:05:41 UTC

The wedding was going to be beautiful. As the plans were laid out over a period of months, every time Penny saw Sheldon bent over a floor plan trying to finalize the seating arrangement or busily scrawling names on wedding invitations, a little smile came to her face at the sight of him, his eyes bright with an enthusiasm that was hard to detect on the surface. But she knew him well enough to know he expressed enthusiasm in the form of work. If he was busy planning, and at the level of detail that found him personally applying the little gold ‘adhesive decorative images’ on each personalized invite, then he was happy ( ... )

Re: Ribbons of Green, bride and groom's first dance, PG jessicajason January 21 2010, 01:44:20 UTC

OW! The knife is twisting in my heart! Bravo, you evil person. ;)

Re: Ribbons of Green, bride and groom's first dance, PG veryberry_19 January 21 2010, 14:31:02 UTC

Hehe, thank you!

Re: Ribbons of Green, bride and groom's first dance, PG regalish January 22 2010, 14:38:35 UTC

Oh snap! Nice use of the 'ole bait-and-switch! You definitely got me.

I sure hope you'll do another! This was great :)

Under My Umbrella, dancing in the rain, G menacherie January 22 2010, 06:18:56 UTC

"Penny?" Sheldon made a concerned noise that came from the back of his throat when Penny slipped her flip-flops off. They were barely a block away from the apartment. The concrete sidewalk was crawling with germs, not to mention the fact that it was [i]raining[/i], which meant bacteria was practically falling from the sky ( ... )

Re: Under My Umbrella, dancing in the rain, G veryberry_19 January 22 2010, 14:18:59 UTC

I like that, quite sweet :)

Re: Under My Umbrella, dancing in the rain, G regalish January 22 2010, 14:39:18 UTC

Awwww! Very cute! Loved the imagery in this, with Penny dancing around in the rain, and Sheldon being just utterly fascinated by her (well... he always is, but this was especially cute)!

Re: Under My Umbrella, dancing in the rain, G renisanz January 24 2010, 17:32:41 UTC

Oh yay! Such a sweet moment. Like how you described Sheldon observing Penny, trying to make sense of her actions. :)
