*poof!* Read all of your stories for the month of October (which I have been completely absent for >.<), and I love them! My computer is now in my room, so I no longer have to worry about someone accidentally spying anything on the screen, AKA I can read all the smut stories with no fear.
Wanted to specifically comment on one that you wrote about Adam messing up cold pizza: My brother and I did that, except when we finished the pizza not only tasted like cardboard, but it was very soggy for some reason. :doh:
Ahh, I get a moment's reprieve from homework and see this? *sigh* At least there's less of a chance of scheduling conflict for me now, but... Argh, spring? Oh well...I saw it coming, I suppose. Just hope that those scenes are coming along.
I actually like scruffy. =P Not that I've ever had an experience with either. I just don't mind. ... Well, there was that one time I kissed someone on the cheek, but...it was revenge. Pure and simple. Doesn't count.
^_^ I LOVED the story, Laura. That's all I couldn't describe put into words. Very touching. Even without Adam. =P
I, uh, can't read the other one right now because my parents and mom's friend are having dinner right behind me... I'll take a look at it later tonight.
Well, I think I'd be - ohgoshI'mgonnasayit - okay if Adam wasn't in the story. Joan's friendship was Judith was just so wonderful and so powerful at her death that I just wanna see a story where Joan starts to remember the happy times instead of dwelling on the bad.
Of course, your best friend dying is not something one can just wake up one day and say "oh, I'm better now", so it reasonable that many stories - mine included, I do believe - don't have Joan moving on (nngh, "moving on" is a bad choice of words).
Okay, jumping back here again! Sorry for all the drifting, guys- I've been busy lately... This is going backward through Laura's last five (AKA, first one means the one farthest back).
First one was so wonderful. I've had situations in my life like that (and I've written them), and it's so easy to connect with.
Second one? Wow. That made me so... wow. I love the illustrations of the paper boats. It had some sort of happy-sad behind it. I liked.
The third one had a hint of happy 'til the end. It was wonderfully scripted- sad, but good. Joan should be happy remembering Judith for once, though.
xD The fourth one was cute in an odd way. I loved it. Made me chuckle a lot. I wonder if Joan would be comfortable modeling nude. I mean, her reaction to that imfamous panty-shot is enough there. Still, I loved it, especially Adam's voice cracking.
EDIT: Whoops! Forgot another! The fifth one made me die laughing, because I can totally relate to the... video game love. ^_^ Totally cute. "When did we become so boring?" Hehe.
Heh, the limo joke that sort of ran between two of the drabbles (probably unintentional) made me giggle. The shovel one made me chuckle and feel bad for Joan at the same time. Attack of the killer sculptures?
Awww... I wanna hug Adam (bad idea, bad idea)! Very descriptive, like Deb said. Gave me the shivers a bit.
That word has generally drifted away for my generation, actually. xD Er, set of words. Nizzle meaning, um, nigger means this word is frowned upon, so you don't often hear people saying it. You still here the -izzle every now and then, but not like it used to be. Or at least where I live. The suburbs is different than the city, so who knows.
I wonder how Adam heard it. Do you think he knew what it meant, or was just trying to look cool?
>.> ... I heard it used when I was a little kid, I just never really thought about it. Yep. The 90's were good times.
=P I've been trying to use the word 'godsend' as much as possible as a side-effect of my Heroes marathon, but I sincerely mean it. Few people can write drabbles that actually make me feel something- I've tired reading them before and they've done nothing. I'm turned off from stories with less than so many words. Yet somehow you're able to just captivate me. Godsend. ^_^
Ahhh, so many stories... Nothing really much to say but love them ALL. ^_^ They're sad, sweet, giggle-worthy, and sexy. All are loved. You're a godsend, Laura.
Due to the wearing of my Fanboys shirt, I have gotten a few people interested in seeing the movie. xD Mostly Star Wars fans (eh, actually only two...), but when I pointed out Chris, one girl commented that she could "see why I like him" with a grin. ^_^
I want the movie to come out in January too, but... Argh, I'm selfish. I wanna see it the first night it comes out, and until I know I'll be able to, there'll always be this little "hmm, maybe if it comes out a week later..." kind of mentality. After recent events, I think there's a better chance of me actually being home that weekend, and most probably seeing it with my friends, but I'm not going to prepare months in advance until we know something definate.
We can still hope, though.
The last Carl and Adam one made me laugh at first, and it also made me a little sad because it referenced Elizabeth. Still, pretty cute.
The one with Grace acting like Joan... That killed me. The last line was SO Joan, especially the ladder.
Hoodie=death to Ashley. I like the implications there. Hoodies rock.
Sweet little New York one. Perfectly captures Adam's insecurities with his art and Joan's total faith in him, even though she's not an art person. It made me smile. ^_^
All I can say about the baby one: last line=awesome. Adam's a pro now, huh?
Band-aid analogy was perfect. Pretty deep, pretty dark. Seems very much like Adam, his mind at war. I wanna hug him and slap him at the same time.
Wonder. Total wonder. Love it. Shower scenes= <3
I don't wanna have two Joan/Adam challenges going at once because I'll just confuse myself and drive myself crazy or I would have started it already. But don't worry, it will happen.
Here's proof I'll do it eventually: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/ … ALover.jpg
And here's some of the prompts from the challenge just to drive Deb's mind crazy: Self-Love, Kinky, Transmogrify... transmogrify should be fun.
... >.> <.< ... :hug: Every girl needs her smut.
I'll read all your new drabbles and post my reactions in a sec, Laura!
Kris Lemche in another teen horror film? Raise your hand if you could see this coming. I honestly wouldn't want to see it even if Chris was in it, unless his performance was spectacular. I mean, three minutes of horror? Ehhh, probably gory too. Neh, hate teen slasher films.
Nnn, pushed back again? I think I'm with Tina on this- February 1st, 2008. I hope it's in January, though. ...I secretely almost hope it's pushed back, though, because then there'll be a better chance that I can see it on the night it comes out.
First one was adorable, second was saddening, both were awesome. ^_^ I kind of ran off because I got the Heroes boxset. Much fun there. I'll make sure to drop by more, though.
Wow... 76 drabbles now. Remember to keep on writing once you get to 100. =P
Sorry I just kinda poofed away! Love all your drabbles, Laura! The juggling one made me speechless too. The Adam/Gylnis one was well-written but it...confused me. I guess I'll have to take a look at the "random JoA stuff" thread.
I didn't think it was out of character. It was cute.:) I loved the last line, especially.
No VM for me either- I didn't even know what it was until I wiki-ed it (I was curious).
And yeah, I too think the pole dancing scene will be awesome. xD
*HATES double posting, but...* Reversing the Stitches is complete with its epilogue up. I never told anyone I was making one, so I thought I'd just drop that in. I also have a nice little, uh, challenge, I could say? It's at the very end, basically asking for the anime movie I referenced in an extra sub-name for this mini-act. I plan to stick to my promise that anyone who gets it right will receive a drabble. @.@ I've probably dug myself in deep here.
Oh, and I'll just say here to Deb (since I can't respond any other way) that I'm glad and surprised that you thought my story was unpredictable. Unless those drabbles count, I'm not sure you'll be seeing anything continuously for awhile *glances at several projects*, but I hope to write another story in the future. Right now I just need to get down from my high of finally completing something.

I know what you mean. I call that a "scene flash". I often have these scenes in my head that play out perfectly in front of my mind's eye. But I usually then go and develop more of a story around them. And often it happens that while I'm writing it, the characters continue to speak in my head.
Most of my stories were conceived around a scene flash, and I love it when they happen.
-TeeJay
That's exactly what happens with me too- I get a little scene in my head and build an entire story around it. That's actually how Reversing the Stitches was born (typing the last part of the epilogue now). Those kinds of stories are fun, because you get to fill in everything around the scene, and sometimes it turns out totally different from how you first invisioned it.
But I understand with your dilemma too, Laura. Adam could go into something art based, but mentioning his job would mean mentioning Joan's too, and...well, we have no idea what Joan could end up doing. T_T
Seconded. Even watching, you know these two have a hard time working out problems. O.o
On the note of the story, I liked it. You didn't mention their jobs (or former for Joan), so the reader just focused on the bare facts. Not to mention I can totally see Joan hesitant about going back to work when her children need her. ^_^
*lying on the ground* Anyone who wants it can read it. I would've put that up last night, but I just about fell over when it was finally uploaded. This is why I should never do deadlines- they always end up getting twisted and I kill myself trying to get them to work. On the bright side, I already have a review telling me I did very well (I loved the way the scenes came out, personally), so maybe it was worth the wait?
