Drabbles

Jul 06, 2008 08:32

In the past, I rarely read drabbles. They're so short, and just as I'm getting into what's happening, they're over. But for some reason I can't explain, I've been doing a few drabbles at open_on_sunday for the past couple of weeks, and really enjoying it ( Read more... )

You make me very happy. You spotted the three emotions I was trying to convey and that makes them a success for me! Drabbles are hard! I had no idea.

Wow, thank you. Never having done drabbles before, I was pretty scared to post them. I'm glad you liked #3. I could just see Spike sprawled out in his Santa socks and Christmas shorts...and nothing else. Angel's one smart cookie!

*tickles you*

My good god, hon, the first drabble robbed me of breath, it startled me, moved me, made me ache, made my heart break. I loved it. The second, as I've said before, ohhhh it's a bounty of such rich and wonderful imagery. It makes me smile like mad, then cackle like the devil with that last line. I absolutely love it, too. And the third? I giggled my BUM off when I read it!! I can picture them there, and I'm caught between an "awwwww" and a bark of laughter. I love this, too! All three are wonderful, honey!! You are so gifted with the written word, whether it's many words or few, your works speak volumes and paint us these dazzling, amazing scenes. WONDERFUL!

The first drabble was the hardest to write, I think. I know Buffy could easily have brought herself to dust Spike. There was something about the word extinguished that I wanted to convey the idea of a bright flame being doused mercilessly. After all, in that soulless vampire was a future Champion, who could have saved the world.

The second? You know Spike's shanshu couldn't be complete without his honey there to make it perfect. :D And the last one, I was just shamelessly going for the giggles.

You lift me up and make me fly, sweetheart. Thank you so much.

Those were great. The first one was depressing, but the other two were fun. The last one with the xmas shorts was really cute.

I found season 6 of Buffy very depressing. Buffy just never gave Spike a chance to share all the love he had inside or gave him the benefit of the doubt on the least little thing. Even though I believe she loved him in her own way. *sigh*

I'm glad the other two cheered you up. Spike and Angel always cheer me up. And Spike the nudist wearing Xmas boxers for his honey? I just loved the idea of it.

Thanks for feeding me! You always make me feel so good. *huggles*
