Drabble Challenge - Post #4

This was a difficult batch. *wipes brow* I hope I managed to fulfill everyone's requests....my mind was pretty generous with ideas and I decided to go for creativity rather than the logical/obvious route.

Please let me know what you think! Comments are love!

I so appreciate all of you sticking around and being awesomely supportive (and patient). I'

The French Lieutenant's Woman - holy crap. Seriously. Will you write more of this for me? *bats eyelashes* I would love to see your take on this character. You captured her so well Danielle!! I can't believe it. I love the movie and I love the character and yet I ADORE what you did with her. The imagery was powerful! :D

The Hours - You know... I didn't even need sex. It was brilliant without it. It was nice to see their relationship blossom like that and I really enjoyed seeing how Sally was there for Clarissa and how their live is made of simple details - not big enormous events. Genius as always lady.

The DWP - AHHH I loved this too. The twins have really grown on me as a way to tell the story through them, and I can't get enough fics that use this technique. Yours was so exception. I Just adored it! I especially loved them being caught by Miranda and the look on her face the way you described it. OH shit.

OH WOW!

This is so much better than anything I could have come up with! When I asked for the drabble, I expected Harry to be in the common room comparing the two of them or discussing with Ron why Hermione wasn't meant for him on Ron's wedding day or something.

This? Was so much better than anything I could have hoped for! Thank you so much, Danielle!

Now, if you could just write some more Caddie ... I'd probably profess my undying love for you daily (which I sorta/kinda already do) and shout from the rooftops that you are a Goddess (which I sorta/kinda already do).

:)

You rock!

Oh, I have to admit I got excited about a character called Emma, but I’m guessing she’s from the show and not *actually* a shout out to me? /self obsessed

I’m totally with Olivia. Kids’ birthday parties are insane! The dialogue between these two is great - I’m not familiar with the fandom, but it feels *easy* and comfortable.

Whoa - love you going from a little kid’s party straight to sex! Though I can’t say you hadn’t warned me! Entertaining, indeed! :) I love the line “there’s no way that this is not happening”.

Oh wow - this is so. freaking. *hot*. The tension between them is palpable. I may need to start watching American daytime tv if you keep writing like this!

You blow me away once again, Mrs D! I can’t believe you were nervous about my reaction (consider it as a taste of how hard the DWP Secret Santa was for me!). But seriously, your writing is incredible. I love these! *applauds*

Darn. I'm not first. Hope the quality makes up for it!

Whoops - lost this part in the cut'n'paste:

I love how you turn each prompt into something so, um, un-cliched (yes, I know that isn’t a word). I like that you make them your own. And I *love* this story. Everything from the twins’ conversation to Miranda’s orchid (yay! Though I hope she wouldn’t be *too* mad at the twins if they picked her daisies!). I loved Andy’s note, the twins’ realisation, and Miranda’s reaction. And once again, this is just *begging* to be continued! I'd love to see the lead-up to this moment, and Andy writing the note, as well as Miranda's interaction with the twins once she gets into the car... Pretty please? I adored it!

Edit - rereading this, I just had to add that I just realised the parallel between the title 'Catching Smoke' and the charcoal. Your depth astounds and amazes me. I am truly in awe.

Bah, I don't really know how to respond to the first three fics because I have no experiences with all three at all. But I did read through them and enjoy them as they are, even without a fandom to guide me. I'm sorry I can't review them further, but rest assured I did like them :).

Now I can go with fandoms I'm familiar with, and which you seemed to spoil me with by writing two of my prompts...

Filed Away You are definitely proving that my prompts are more guides than just connecting the dots, and I've been really enjoying how you've been pushing that. I didn't expect a twins fic, but I really liked this alot and that it was a future fic somewhat. How they were in the office and discovered the letter, and what happened after being left as a mystery. It was nice and open-ended, and incredibly original since twins writing seems to be left to them as supporting casted little brats who have nothing to redeem them. Thank God you give your characters actual souls :).

In The Dark: This turned out so wonderful! I love how you have Harry caught in the middle of the two hot-headed red-heads that he loves. Poor Harry but he will always blunder along when it comes to females. ;) Great characterization of a teenager too, they have such a bad habit of saying hurtful things they don't really mean. The brain-mouth filter doesn't quite work yet. I like how the story was touching but at the same time had real-life humour in it
