Baby, if I could keep it together, don't you think I'd try?

My cousin and his daughter just left. She's quite cute but definitely a handful... a "real character", you might say. I need to grab some lunch and ride before I go in for the night shift. CJ and Leo decided to swoop into my head last night, go "Here, have some dialogue!" and swoop out again. Nothing else, just a bizarre snippet of conversation ( Read more... )

OMG, adorable, rambly, nervous!CJ is my favorite too. And she is Leo's as well. Any Leo who is paired with her.....I am sure this is universal and not just my CJ and Leo. He loves her adorable and rambly or sexy and confident, even better, a combination of all four. Ugh, they need to get out of my head until I finish my other projects.

Write the story!!!!!!!!!!!! I havent been having problems with LJ cuts but that's a rarity....it is totally my nemesis.

*points up* See what you think. That's the bare bones dialogue. I feel like it needs more.

OMG, that is simply adorable....terrific for your first venture. You got their voices pretty well as I read them. There are some things missing but its not words, its gestures. Leo's rare full classic 'Leo' grin, CJ sitting on the side of his desk, Leo thinking about how good she looks in that outfit, CJ gesticulating while getting more and more rambly.....that kinda thing. It can add another 200 or so words and SHAZAAM.....you have a ficlet. Me, I love it to death. Its always best when they speak to you, come right out of your gut.

It's definitely the gestures that are missing, I've just got to poke around in my brain a while and figure out what is supposed to go where, LOL! I'm thinking I'll get some time tomorrow night or Sunday.... I'll be hopeful. ;)

I'm so glad you liked it, I can't even. I figure if anyone call tell me whether or not it sounds ridiculous it'd be you, LOL!

I know you can do this. Just go with your gut and you'll do swimmingly. Rambling nervous CJ is me half the time so I have her like that a lot but I don't care. Word count matters not, my fave CJ/Leo (of my creation) is 100 words. Oh the irony.

*points up* That's what swooped into my head last night. I have no idea what I'm doing. XD

I am for the fail when it comes to long fics, as you've probably noticed, so I feel you there. XD

I adore it all, truly, but this -

THAT'S the pattern and it hasn't changed since we were fifteen except the odds on sex might be a little better now that we don't sleep in bunk beds anymore with our brothers in the other room and - "

"CJ."

DING DING DING SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a ever told you I love you? ; )

sterling_sky May 30 2009, 04:36:24 UTC

Awwwww YAY!! :D

*does horrifyingly bad Rod Stewart karaoke* "Have I told you, that there's no-one else... above you..." his pause on that line is so cheesy/awesome I can hardly stand it. XD I &hearts you too, darl! Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the encouragement. I'll let you know when it's done. :)
