Try some; it's good.
Wherein I ramble about books, movies, music, TV shows, my life, and occasionally, hot emo boys.

Ellora's Cave "Naughty Nuptials" Challenge.
Who's in?

I know Jacq and Lainey said they were going to try a story. Mine's halfway done, and I'll need someone to crit in about a week or so. Takers? (15K max)

Course I will. Send it on when you're finished.

Yay! It's looking like I may actually finish up under 15K (gasp). I'd prefer that, actually, if I could leave myself a 2K window (or so), allowing for extra word count in revision. This is weird, writing on such a micro-scale.

You can't TRULY appreciate micro-scale until you've written to an 8,500 CHARACTER maximum (as in FanLit). That's 1,500 words, give or take.

I've written, um, 175 words of mine. But I've been switching between revisions and writing...

OMG, my verification word is sdxcskxm. Looks like Czech for sex, LOL!

Micro-scale. Oh man, too funny. That offers me a perfect segue to the peen size thing on your blog, Jacq.

It just occurred to me that I sort of made a joke of this in Guide. Lemme find that excerpt:

The only time she left his side all night, she excused herself to go to the bathroom, and when she returned, well, her expression could only be described as bemused.

"What's up?" he asked.

If Johansen tried something...

But she tilted her head toward someone and he followed the trajectory — Terri Arlington offered a huge smile and lifted her glass in their direction. "That woman..." Ellie paused, seeming torn between amusement and discomfiture. "Well, let's just say she asked a number of questions regarding your anatomy. She seems to think I've got a bad case of jungle fever."

"Oh Christ."

"Don't worry," she whispered, eyes twinkling. "I got you covered. Told her when you're not making me scream like a wild animal, we use it to club baby seals."

"Ellie..." To his astonishment, Ash realized he had no idea if she was joking...
