Hey, I didn't know you were writing this challenge!

And excellent drabble.

b_hallward March 29 2006, 06:16:08 UTC

Me either, until a couple of hours ago. When I went crazy. Again.

Thanks ^^

I think this challenge does that to you. I was only planning to do Sanzo/Goku, and then when I was writing the comment to request them, somehow Konzen/Tenpou/Kenren got on there too.

But at least it's a fun kind of crazy! And I can hardly complain when it brings me in so much nice fic to read.

Ohh. Shiny.

Okay, no, not very articulate. But as coherent and analytical as I'm going to be on no sleep. And I am all happy and bouncy to see that they've suckered you into this game. Also, that I now know enough about who these guys are to be able to follow what you're doing.

No, what you should be doing is laughing at me, because I'm taking that whole bundle of problems I have no clue how to solve -- normal people and romance and they-are-such-guys -- pushing it into one giant lump and then tilting at it like it was a windmill.

Really I had such poster's remorse as soon as I'd submitted this. I see all sorts of things I want to fix -- when I'm not looking at it and saying, you are totally, irredeemably misguided. And it doesn't help I've locked my overly-poetic-description mojo in a box and stuck it in the back of a closet.

See? This is driving me nuts already.

But see, I think that's one of the things this challenge is for. Or can be for. Sure, you can go in with a plan, and do a perfect jewel-like matched set over five weeks. But the format also lends itself beautifully to attacking a problem from a different angle, and seeing whether you can get it to work out (and if so, whether you learn anything more broadly applicable from the experience).

Or at least, that was my excuse for the last round, and I'm sticking to it.

And it's the nature of these things that you'll see things you want to fix that are invisible to everyone else. Now I'm tempted to tell you that you should post a version where you've made the changes, and either tell us why you made them or let us guess -- but honest, it's fine this way, and I probably shouldn't be encouraging you to even consider thinking otherwise.

The trouble is, it's like tuning a guitar. I went with an open-D tuning and now I'm thinking I really wanted open-G, but turning the frets just a little is only going to make a bunch of dissonance. Okay, that probably makes no sense whatsoever. Basically, I don't think I can fix what's bothering me without scraping the whole concept and starting over, or I probably would post a revised version in my journal. As it stands I'm just not going to mention this drabble anywhere and let it get lost among the outpouring of stagesoflove. *g*

And so it begins... Yay! So glad that you've decided to take part in this round.

Dave looks past the expensive clothes and faintly condescending once-over, sticks his hand out and says, "Name's Starsky."

Eeeee!

b_hallward March 29 2006, 18:51:40 UTC

It was just too tempting, like walking past a shop window everyday until you finally say, who am I to argue, anyway? ^^

Thanks!
