sought-sink?

nit-night? (or slit-slight?)

'sought' is an irregular past tense so it's already used, unfortunately. But nit-night is awesome (I just thought of it myself. hee) and slit-slight might even be better (I bet 'slit' is more likely to be known by the average person than 'nit'). Thanks so much. :-)

sought - sink, meld - mold, bit - bright?

I can't come up with any for the others off the top of my head.

Or rather, because I can't think, 'brit - bright'.

meld-mold is the one we're trying to *replace*. I'm going with 'geld-gold' if no one can come up with something better. As I said to wolfling, 'sought-seek- is already in the experiment, so 'sought-sink' is unavailable. The 'ugh' irregulars are by far the hardest. I think I'll have to go with 'rough-rink' and give up trying to find something with a final 't' to match. :-(
But thanks very much for trying.

wrought - wink? Or is the lack of 'r' in wink a deal killer?

*thinks* These are both interesting and thoroughly frustrating... I'm going to be thinking about them all day. :)

It's readable but is it *rec'able*? Inquiring swms must know!!

I haven't verified yet that it's not a wip. It's unbelievably long. There are at least 20 parts and each one takes me about 3 hours to read. I'll send you the url when I'm on the other computer - I don't have it here.

ohh, yay! If it's good, that's fantastic.

No rush on the url because right now my head is too much of a swollen pumpkin to be able to actually concentrate much. But new fic sounds gorgeous.

I hadn't read any new fic in months, but I figured I needed to do something to make this week feel a bit like a holiday. This has been perfect. :-)

Oooh, London! :-)

And shoes on the dog walk, yay! (Here in the subtropics, the season's change is noted by wearing a T-shirt only, sans sweatshirt or jacket, on the dog walk. ;-))

I'm thinking London as a birthday gift to myself, we'll see. There's a conference in Pisa June 8-10 and one in Leipzip June 17-18, both of which I could love to go to. So clearly it would make sense to go to London in between, right? :-)

I know I gripe about the cold sometimes, but I can't imagine life without seasons. There's nothing like seeing a tiny little crocus leaf peeking through the snow for the first time after months of cold and grey. *swoons*
