Poor Donna. Nice capture of the frightening confusion she swings in and out of.

I suppose Donn's life is a bit strange now. Unfortunately, she'll get uesd to it.

Oh, that's lovely. Beautiful and yet chilling. That first paragraph is an incredible image, this especially:

...herself before the background of a city made of glass, of flowers, of marble.

The second part is like waking from a nightmare that fades away.

Just fix this typo -- "clue" = "blue" -- and it'll be perfect :)

Ah, thank you. Fixed it.
I tried to get it down to 100 words, but didn't want to let go of the words in the end. I'm glad you like it!

Oh, Donna. This was a great snapshot of what she must be feeling. Beautifully written as always. :)

In other news, I'm heading out to dinner in a moment then when I get home, I have to sign up for the Support Stacie auction. Talk about waiting until the last minute!

Does that mean you haven't yet? Gah! Don't you ever learn?
I think it was Douglas Adams (correct me if I'm wrong) who said he liked deadlines. He liked the funny squishing noises they made as they passed by.

Your icon is so pretty!

In other news, we're pretty much done. There wasn't too much to do today compared to the days before, but I was so tired, including headache, I nearly passed out this afternoon. Now I could go to sleep I'm all awake and happy again. The usual daytime fail.

You know I'm always slow at getting these things done! I actually just sent my sign up form in so I should be in time. :)

Isn't this a lovely icon? shinodabear made it.

YAY for being done!! Hopefully you're in bed now. You have to rest up for our writing night!

vail_kagami March 28 2009, 01:51:58 UTC

In bed, yes. Making Merlin icons. :P
There's an icon post commig up in a few days.
