  1. wanderingaddict: Wraith hasn'r met tainted Tamlen yet, you're quite correct! And I have a pretty soft spot for him as well. He comes off as a good friend, and wham! Instant demise. And, staying true to the storyline, Alistair is not even remotely hardened, and isn't at all a leader. I figured Wraith would pick up on that because of the nature of the Dalish culture. When you're nomadic and either actively disliked or at best tolerated wherever you go, it tends to make you look at people closely. And thanks for taking the time to review! I always enjoy seeing what people pick up on in my ramblings, and every bit of feedback makes me think about what I write, and how I can make it better!
  2. DG, I was pretty surprised myself, and honestly, I didn't even put my age at first because I was so sure I was the odd duck out! But I'm proudly flying the birthday now, so... And to add to Dany's list, since I remember all of her list... I watched the World Trade Center go up when I was in college (such a NY wench I am), and I was holding my toddler boy when I watched it go down...
  3. All of the above, plus my first reel-to-reel tape player! I still have a rather large collection of vinyl records (note to self - buy usb turntable!). I remember go-go boots (oh, dear gods...). I've been proudly blowing up motherboards since DOS was young. Hopefully, I'll have a lot more to remember as I go on!
  4. I'm so very impressed, my dear paladin, that you actually scored as more evil than I did! :clap: I fear I may need to take lessons, for I am but a grasshopper before you!
  5. The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell! Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory Repenting Believers | Very Low Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers | Low Level 2 Lustful | Very High Level 3 Gluttonous | Low Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious | Low Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy | Very High Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics | High Level 7 Violent | High Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers | Moderate Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous | High I might possibly contest the Treacherous part, but then again...
  6. Cal, And laughing gives you better wrinkles! A happily evil Wench
  7. December 1956 here, so I guess that makes me one of the older kids on the block! What I do find encouraging, however, is that so many of us (and I mean all ages here) are writing. Dear sweet gods, does that ever make me feel better, because if the art of playing with words is ever reduced to 140 characters or less one a permanent basis, then I'm going to start feeling old. Until then, though, I'm just another kid in the sandbox.
  8. Palm trees... mine has palm trees. And I have an assortment of blank note cards for those "jot a quick note to whomever" moments that strike randomly.
  9. JayDee: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the heavy innuendo -- one of my specialties, I fear, is leaving things to the imagination, but then again, sometimes I think other peoples' imaginations might conjure up things better than I could write! And I think Alistair's utter smexiness will win out over any lingering fears of commitment that Wraith may be harboring.
  10. anesor: Play DA:O and come back and read it again. That may help. But honestly, I'm not sure how much more I can trim without it turning into pure exposition. Timewise, it covers a few minutes in a boat, with part of that spent in a quick memory and the rest in a brief conversation. I suppose I could cut out the conversation... but, nah. I like my banter!
  11. ::looks at post-it notes all over desktop:: Well... yeah...
  12. Fairy Slayer: Thank you for reading and reviewing, first of all. I keep dragging you out of your fandoms, but you gamely dive in, and I really appreciate it! It's hard squeezing enough into the format to keep it coherent, but hopefully I haven't lost you too badly!
  13. It's not a terribly inspiring trend, is it?
  14. Proofreading for a friend again... ::sigh:: "Her skin was a dusky grey, her hair off white and her eyes a deep vibrant violate."
  15. Apollo: Oh, those recaptchas! But thank you for reading and reviewing, and I'm glad the flashback worked! I should probably stop teasing so much and move the relationship forward, but it's sort of fun to take my time, and Chantry boys are shy...
  16. Techno Ninja: It really is turning into chapters of a story, isn't it? But I'm glad you like the banter between Wraith and Alistair, and the game is such good fun that I can't quite feel guilty for getting you curious about it.... such an evil wench I am! But thank you for reading and reviewing! pittwitch: Thank you! Endings and beginnings... we're always experiencing them... I am very pleased that the banter between the lads works, because I do enjoy writing it! Thanks again!
  17. Shadowknight: The size constraint of the flash fics makes it a little harder to cover enough plot ground and go into greater emotional depth, but more will come as Wraith and Alistair get to know each other better, I promise! I deliberately didn't describe the sex between Tamlen and Wraith, because I'm sort of saving that for the Chantry boy. As to the grief, remember, he and Tamlen both knew this wasn't a forever thing, since they would both be called upon to marry. Wraith is feeling grief because he thinks he's supposed to, but he never formed that "I can't live without you" sort of bond with Tamlen. It's more guilt than grief, but Wraith hasn't figured that out yet...hence the lack of emotional depth to his grief. But gods, I that you read my prompts and think about them so seriously! You are amazingly good for my ego, do you know that?

  19. I think they said it was the 6th worst one-day snowfall. It was pretty impressive, though!
  20. They recorded 22.5 inches in the Bronx. With drifts it seems a lot worse, although at least the wind scoured the snow off my car. It's plowed in, but what's not buried in the wall of snow is clean!
  21. If I can get better pictures tomorrow in the nicer section, it really does look gorgeous here.
  22. ]Because he likes winter, these are for Shadowknight...
  23. I think JayDee is right. Holidays or possibly Celebrations?
