I've actually written a number of things recently, but never did
post them to the FFML--just put them on ffnet and my website. This, in
fact, was done over a year ago. So as to bring this list a little bit back
toward normalcy and away from all the poo-flinging, I'll begin releasing
my newer works slowly over the next couple of weeks or so.
And, uh...Ejd 5 is being worked on again too. Aheheh. No promises.


- Good idea. Though for the poo-flinging, I find it best to just delete them
and pretend it didn't happen.



  I really hate this curse.


- Did you do what I did once, here, and try to send thoughts through
italics, and have it fail? Or did you just forget to somehow mark thoughts?
Either way, this is obviously his internal dialogue, but you didn't to mark
it as such.


  He stabbed the spade into the ground with uncharacteristic viciousness.
Which was to say, it was only slightly vicious, as he wasn't very vicious
at all to start with, and there's only a certain degree of viciousness
that one can display when on your knees, wearing gardening gloves and a
straw hat to block out the brightly shining sun overhead, while shoving a
small and unthreatening spade into the earth.

- ^-^ I can really picture this, too. Yuki is too pretty and fragile to be
vicious, most of the time.



  I hate this curse because I can't hold her.

- Again, unmarked internal dialogue. Though obviously so.



  She only looked back at him inquisitively.

  Those wide, innocent eyes, ones that he'd get lost in if he wasn't
careful...framed by her long brown hair, hair that looked so very soft and
shiny...there was that pert, cute nose of hers, set above those lips that
were like strawberries in some indescribable manner that he couldn't quite
understand, and he was still holding her hand, and now he was stepping

- Not that it matters, but they could be like unripe strawberries. When
they're still just barely pink, and still maturing. Erm, anyway.


  He'll manage to kiss her eventually. I'm sure of it.

  Yuki and Tohru forever! Ha ha ha!


- Lovely fic, here. Hmm, maybe if they stand about a foot apart and both
lean forward, so it's hard to put their arms around each other. Might be a
bit awkward, though ^-^ Thanks for sending this to the list, it's quite
good.
