Thank you, Amy! I'm glad you enjoyed the silliness. And thank you for making the extra effort necessary to find this. I'm sorry you had to go to so much trouble! Giselle is helping me clean up my mistake, so hopefully, the link will be working properly soon.

*Hugs!*

They are wonderful! And again you managed to bring this languid, dreamy feel to it.

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you are doing okay now!

[simplyshanni]

Thank you for the lovely comment, and an extra special thanks for taking the time and trouble to even find this! I'm SO sorry for the extra hassle! Hopefully, the amazing Giselle will help me get things straightened out soon!

I am doing better now and your concern is much appreciated!

*Hugs!*

I love drabbles. Don't get me wrong, I also long-chaptered fics, too; but sometimes a good drabble is just the right fix, and so these were. Lovely.
You have a wonderful way with words, and the imagery you conjure is wonderful. Keep up the good work. Now get back to writing!! ;-)

Later,
Daphne

Drabbles can be fun, can't they? It was my first try at the genre, so I'm very pleased that you enjoyed them.

You've given me such a lovely compliment! I appreciate it more than I can say! And yes Ma'am, I'll get right on that...tomorrow!

Thanks for all the lovely feedback, Daphne!

*Hugs!*

Hi Caro!

I've miss all of you, too! Life has definitely settled down since summertime and I'm on a much more even keel now, though I am WAY behind on my LJ reading. That's actually a good thing, in a wierd way, because it means lots of lovely new ficcage for me! You can expect a few comments from me on your older stories since your Paint!Verse is one of the things I'm most anxious to catch up on! I hope you won't mind, ;P!

I'm so glad you liked the Drabbles! It was my first try at them and I wanted to see if I could even do it. As a rule, I'm a wordy little idjit and it forced me to be very spare and selective, to make each word count. I quite liked the challenge of it and the fact that, with a bit of tweaking and fussing, it was almost instant gratification, since they could be completed in a relatively short time.

Look at me ramble on! See, I TOLD you I was a wordy little idjit! LOL! Anyway, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I reall appreciate it!

*Love and Hugs!*

Oh, I know EXACTLY what you mean about writing Drabbles. The challenge to get it down to 100 words is almost addictive. I'd love to do more of them in the future and I'll look forward to reading the ones you've written.

I'm so pleased you enjoyed the ones I did. I never really thought of the first one as a stream of conciousness before, but now that you've mentioned it, I can see your point. It just felt very 'Orlando' to me when I wrote it. As for the title you mentioned, I played around with it quite a bit. In fact it took me longer to figure out the blasted title than it did to write the Drabble, itself! I gave several different versions a try until I finally settled on this one. I figured, if it made me giggle, it might give someone else a smile as well.

Don't worry, I don't feel obligated to comment on your Paint!Fic. It's just that your writing is so gorgeous, I WANT to leave feedback! :D

Aww, thank you so much for the dedication, sweetness! Trust me, it was no problem whatsoever - we're all here to help each other out (what can I say, it's my Midwestern upbringing coming out in me - we're compelled to help people whether they want it or not *g*)

Lovely drabbles :)

[simplyshanni]

Well, I will be forever grateful for your help! I couldn't have done it without you, hon! And more importantly, you taught me what I did wrong in the first place so I won't ever make the same mistake again! I even posted a new fic the right way on my first try. You should be proud of me! *snerk*
Glad you liked the Drabbles!

*Hugs!*
