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... )

Very nice! Loved the second one!
The other two are very good as well, but that one was the best! ;)

Truthfully, the second one was the one I was least sure of, but liked the most.

I'm thrilled you loved it. *snogs you*

You rock, babe.

Your support is means a great deal to me. Thank you for it, and thank you for always leaving feedback, and making me feel great about something I've written.

I'm going to tuck you in my pocket and shower you with champagne and kisses.

I am glad you posted these, I love drabbles.

The first one, although traumatic, was my favourite. It was beautifully written, and you conveyed so much with these few words. The destructive, complicated relationship they had and Buffy's desperation and conflicted feelings.

The second had a warm feeling of peace and contentment, what they deserve from their reward, and the in third you painted such a funny picture.

Wonderful work, I really enjoyed these.

I really like the way drabbles make you stretch yourself, pare everything to the bone. When I wrote them, I would sit for a long time debating which words to use, which to cut out. Me, being me, there were always too many words. I'd get the drabble down to 104 or 102 and tear my hair trying to decided how to rework the idea.

I'm thrilled you liked them. Maybe because they're my first, each one feels special.

Yay! Whimpers and grins. I like very much.

The first time I've written Buffy in years, and of course, she kills Spike.

*kicks her*
