This was brilliant. Enjoyed it a lot =D

[vendetta17]

Thank you!

That was very cute! I loved the tenderness between them, and Miranda rolling her eyes at herself. Really enjoyed it! :)

(As a small side note, you appear to be jumping between your tenses. Simple present and simple past, as well as simple past and past perfect here and there... it was a little bit confusing ^_^;)

[vendetta17]

Thank you!

I know, I was betaing something for someone where I was working on tenses and since then, I am totally confused. I don't even know. I thought I had kicked out all the simple present at least. As for the other tenses, like I said, I am confused as well. I probably should have just stuck to one tense, but I am not the biggest fan of simple past and ahhh, like I said. Confused. I hope this will work itself out for future stories.

What tense do you typically write in?

[writtensword]

Don't worry about it! ^_^ Tenses are hard... xD I find myself having to go over what I write and double check I got it right, several times. xD

I usually write in simple past, when I trail to further back in time I use past perfect simple... or past perfect progressive, depending on the situation. It helps if I think of the timelines in my stories as layers. ^_^

Of course you can also write a story in present tense, but I find it even more complicated. xD I actually dug out my old English books from High School to read up on tenses. xD (English isn't my mother tongue) and I'm quite amazed how a language many believe to have a rather simplistic grammar, is actually so very complex.

But don't worry about it too much. I just noticed, because during the sex scene you wrote in simple present, but the rest of the story was in simple past. ^_^

[vendetta17]

Well, English is not my native language either, I am German. Anyway, when I write without thinking, I write in the past but sex scenes seem to become present. I will fix it in the story.

Thanks for your advise. I will check out that link. Cheers!

The morning after was definitely worth it. Well done.

Oh, the hotness! o_Ov

I loved this. Very funny.
And hot. Did I say hot? It bears repeating. *gg*

I would not be surprised if nothing happend the night before and now, thankfully sober enough, they continued what they've started. ;)

[vendetta17]

Thank you! I am glad you like it. I was hoping to add a little hotness but wasn't sure I had succeeded with my attempts.

Yes, to me, nothing but making out happened the night before. I just wanted to make it look as if something had happened before. Being sober does have its advantages...

[duwinter]

A wonderful take on my prompt! Thank you for it. You made it both hot and fun! Three cheers!

[vendetta17]

Thank you and you are very welcome! I am really glad you like it. It was really weird, your prompt stayed with me immediately and I just had to write something.
