Chris Marquette Message Board

That's good.

Just in case you haven't actually picked up on it yet, Edward is a vampire.  Who doesn't have fangs.

Oh, God... with the exception of the fangs that is Edward.   He'd actually take offense at the fangs.

That actually looked a little bit like the manip I made of Chris as Edward.

I also make him with red eyes (which is just terrifying) and with black eyes which is just plain strange.... and for anyone who never read Twilight you're probably wondering what is wrong with the poor boy's eyes that they keep changing colors.

Can I change my answer to that?  I just read the Twilight book series, and for whatever reason I've been seeing Chris as Edward Cullen since I started.  Just his mannerisms remind me of Chris and there's a lot of focus on Edward's hands... how does that not scream Chris Marquette?  He's probably a bit too old, but he'd be perfect otherwise I think.   And also, they'd need to put contacts in his eyes and we all love his baby browns, so that would probably ruin it of us at least.

Yeah, what Anne said.  We all basically love Adam through and through.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Grace asked as she and Adam walked home from school.

He shook his head and shrugged.  "I'll think of something."

"And what are you gonna do for money until you hit your epiphany?"

He shrugged again.  "Try to sell some sculptures, I guess.  Find out who's hiring.  People are always quiting at Food Town."

"Dude, you'd be miserable bagging groceries."

"Yeah, but it wouldn't cost as much to go shopping."

"What's the employee discount there?" she asked.  "Five cents off week old cabbage?"

"I'll think of something, ok?"

"Ok.  Just do it quick.  Your dad's kind of accustomed to eating."

"We'll be fine.  He's still getting Worker's Comp pay."

"That hasn't been enough for the last year, what makes you think it will now?"

He paused for a long moment.  "We'll make it work.  Only buy necessities.   Like I said, I'll try to sell some sculptures.  We'll find a way."

This is just never gonna end, is it?

I love it... for some reason I got a flash of Grace's reaction after hearing that he quit his job, the exact opposite of Joan's.

Thanks.  Yeah, I actually just re-read it and changed those right before I saw this

I just posted a new Adam and Grace story.  Deb, it's the one I told you about in the email.

Thanks.

This is seriously not me trying to be annoying or whatever, I'm just finicky about certain stuff... since I'm writing for mostly challenges with rules about the word count, I haven't written anything (that I know of, for JoA at least) that's under 100 words and if I do have something somewhere that's under 100 words I'm breaking a couple rules.

Well, here's a quote from TJ from her review of my new story: "Laura, you gotta work on your endings and make them... you know... later."    But here's the good part: 32 to 70 page stories/chapters are not something you need to worry about from me, I rarely manage to hit five.   Some people can argue that that's a good part, in my mind it is.

I really couldn't blame drabbles (stories that are exactly 100 words, no more no less, for anyone who doesn't know), I've never been able to right long, drawn out chapters or stories (exept when I wrote a 48 chapter story with chapters averaging 10 pages each) ... I just end getting annoyed with it because I like just finishing it up to share it.   It's just gotten worse in the last year or so, when I discovered the art of drabble.
