I was browsing through my LJ Friends' entries and I came across a few prompts for the 15 minute ficlets. The goal is to write a story down in 15 minutes. I admit, I used 16 minutes--but really, who's counting? ;) I tried to open the picture prompt, but my computer kept crashing so I decided to do the word prompt. This B/J ficlet was inspired by ( Read more... )

This explains a lot! LOL

Actually, I liked vedaprophet's results better. I was her perfect date and we at least had a 33% chance of making it work out (better chances than most Hollywood movie stars have, at least) and we got to go to a 5 star restaurant ;)

Wow, I really feel so very loved on this cold, gray, snowy evening. After a long (and mostly boring) day at work--so boring, in fact, that I spent an hour reading the Gregg Style Manual for grammar and took a self-test on identifying proofreaders' marks--what should I find in my mailbox but a lovely Christmas gift from Vicki. Great Angel themed ( Read more... )

Hey everyone ( Read more... )

First, I must say congratulations to Liz and Vicki for having written a gapfiller nearly every week (I believe they only skipped *one* week total) to cover 22 weeks' worth of gapfillers for Season 1. I stand and salute you both ( Read more... )

Here is the gapfiller I promised a few days ago :) Thanks to Severina2001 and her amazing beta talents, I made it through the re-write stage fairly quickly. Thanks Vicki!! :)

I wish I was an actor or poet or ( Read more... )

The heavy snow is falling, but because it is warm outside (in the upper 30's--that's warm around here), it isn't sticking. So all is wet and sloppy, soggy and gray. My New Years Eve went smoothly. I read to a whole bunch of children and their parents on the story bus--a transit bus decaled to advertise the "Reading Foundation"--a program designed ( Read more... )

I don't know how (so I won't try to analyze it), but I have actually *completed* a QaF gapfiller! It still needs to be beta'd, but it has a beginning, middle, and end, gosh darn it ( Read more... )

I'm happy to say, tonight begins another 4 day weekend for me. We have tomorrow as a holiday and then our regular Friday off (I get every other Friday off at work). So, I intend to spend a lot of time around the house. It is at this moment, the messiest house in all Christendom and I aim to make it spic and span ( Read more... )
