BF All-Star Entry Week Three

Jan 23, 2011 15:30

Man, I need to STOP PROCRASTINATING. Seriously. This whole "write it the day of thing" is really bad.

Anyway, here's a continuation from the last two weeks. The use of the prompt MIGHT be a little more vague here... but we'll see what happens. If you're interested in reading the rest of this series, week one is here and week two is here.

Thank ( Read more... )

week 3, brigits_flame

Oooo, yeah. That line is wonky as all can be. I think this might work more to what I wanted:

Kessandra took a perch on his small desk, uncaring or unnoticing that her knee was brushing against his hand.

Basically, I was trying to set up the hinted beginnings of something between those two. I totally see them hooking up in my head, after becoming friends and such.

Is unnoticing even a word? (firefox agrees no with me)

anyway tox WHAT SHE SAID EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID

I haven't read it yet but I can tell you that is because I did the same thing...waited until today to write my piece. Then I freaked out because as I was submitting it at 4:58pm EST my computer hiccuped and I thought it wasn't going through.

I think my muses get a HUGE kick out of watching me do this week after week which is why they don't really give me all the pieces until last minute.

Damn sadists.

DID YOU GET IT IN?!?!

pelethetart January 24 2011, 02:45:05 UTC

I did.
I ended up submitting the story sans even a spellcheck, then I went back and put in the header and notes that I wanted to attach to it. I also had to fix the formatting (since going from work to LJ doubles spacing and removes all indents), and I added links to the other stories in the "collection".

That was the closest I've ever cut it. I'm going to have a chat with the muses this week so we don't do that again. lol

You must be a musician! That's just how it is, isn't it? Love these people-- you really have a feel for them, and so make them real for us. It is a delight to read about your world, and I thank you for sharing it with us.

HAHA! Hardly. I just really love music. Like, literally can't go a day without it. Thanks so much, Keppie!

Ooh, more information on the world! Fantastic! :) Also, love the ending and Sacha's revelation. This is such a unique idea, and I really hope to see you write this all the way through (as though you don't have enough projects on your plate >.>).

Vikton wasn't giggling at the emptiness. Sorry, that really didn't get conveyed well. I was just trying to say that Sacha didn't notice something was missing UNTIL Vikton giggled, drawing attention to the fact that everything was dead silent.

I'm trying to see if I can work those darker undertones into this week's prompt somehow. I agree that so far everything's been all peaches and cream. It needs to be stirred up a bit. *nods*
