I don’t understand most of this, but most of my life I’ve liiiived for huffing old dictionaries, so… now we’re sisters. 

Look forward to your epic return of epicness! Have fun!

Un-Thanks!

Jumping in late, so...happy un-birthday?

What’s going on with the rewrite?

Re-writer’s block, I guess. It needs a new start and a new ending and some more character florishes in the middle, and the first new start I wrote I’ve I don’t really like, so I’ve come up with a second one but was having issues getting it down. I figure the ol’ muses are pissed I don’t like the first idea.
But quadrille? I’ve knocked out 1000 words easy. Not my best work, but with a bit of polishing it’ll be reasonably avagerge compared to some of the dribs drabs prompt fics I’ve done!

Well, if it works it works!
I’m currently fighting a bit with Repopulation over a similar issue.  I’m trying to work out where to put the physical description of each character in the first chapter, which is especially hard since I get distracted every time I learn about some other cool feature of the Ark (that’s what Ken calls the Stanford Torus for fairly obvious reasons), like the chevron shields on the glass ceiling.  I swear, half of my author’s notes on this thing are just going to be “Isn’t science cool?!” followed by “Oh yeah, some character stuff and sex happened in this chapter too, I guess.”
So I definitely understand the issues with getting a proper beginning on a story, and going through several variations on it.

Heh you started out taking on a request for a good ol’ incest + guest porno, and might end up with sort of hard sci fi survival epic. Reviewer: “You’re supposed to have entangled limbs, not protons!”
I guess when the characters first appear works for broad strokes physical description if nothing else!
I got my fingers crossed ya get through your issues, sounds like it’s gonna be epic with all the effort putting into it
 

I’d never heard this extraordinary piece, but thank you for making my morning sublime. After a rough weekend with an epileptic corgi in hospital for cluster seizures, I needed this bit of beauty to chase away the last remnants of stress.
(The wee lass is home, doing her best impersonation of a stoner pup, and seizure-free which is brilliant…  )

NYC is like a disease, once you’ve been infected, you can’t get rid of it. lol  And I’ll never have that key lime pie again! 

I find myself missing the extreme cold now, but not as much as I find myself missing NYC.  

Thank you, that’s very kind of you!  It’s been incredibly tough recently, but my birthday was okay, which is good. 

I’ll do me bestest. Not looking forward to the plane rides, but eh… can’t be helped.

See you in late May, and take care of yourself! 

We will build it up, and we will come back home… home again.
 

Thank you all!  Another adventure filled trip around the sun indeed!  I’m healing nicely from the surgery.   

Hey, I’m a Christian-friendly pagan. What can I say?

It’s sad. But burning down and being rebuilt is kind of what cathedrals do. Notre Dame will rise again.

And as a pagan-friendly Christian, I appreciate that.

Hey, I’m a Christian-friendly pagan. What can I say?

Hey, I’m a Christian-friendly pagan. What can I say?

As horrible as this is… there’s something amusing to me putting “Oh sweet gods” as an exclamation for a Christian Cathedral burning.

Me too.  The good news is that they seem to have saved the other towers, as well as the historically vital artwork inside, so while this was bad, it could have been much worse.
 

It’s a real fucking shame. Amazing old building.

Absolutely horrible.  But if we choose to be positive then you can say that it’s been damaged, not destroyed, and that every century has changed it in some way, so it’s now the 21st century’s chance.
