La! How I run on.

But that's the beauty of Regency-esque prose, one can do run on sentences and no-one can complain. Ok, some might roll their eyes but I don't care. *bites thumb at eye-rollers*

The Regency short story has now turned into a potential novel having written 2K words and am not even denting the plotline yet. I think Regency Fluff is probably a good antidote to recent sadnesses and I have something that I have to write - can't say what, for spoileryness - looming at me, and that's not going to be fun to do. But it needs to be written while I've still got a handle on this grief, so I know what grief is, and not the memory of grief. I suspect that grief is a little like childbirth (not that i've done that) and that it fades enough for you not to kill yourself with the prospect of ever having it again. If that makes any sense at all.

So the upshot of that is that I have to write something else to submit for the Best Gay Romance 2008 anthology. Blast it. One thing I miss about fandom is being able to ask people to prompt for bunnies, do that in original fic land and it's called intellectual theft.

Brand New Life on Mars tonight! I'm 'aving 'oops! Sadly they say they won't be making any more. probably sensible, but I'll miss it. What a gem it is.

If you get any spare plot bunnies, can I have one? I seem to be all out of short story ideas, and it's anthology season...

Novels - have loads of ideas, but short stories, I'm like you, can't come up with anything interesting!

Is that Superqueeros anthology still open?

*giggles*

Sadly, but they seem to crop up again and again, so make a note of it!

Ah, but if you ask fellow authors to brainstorm with you, it can't be classified as intellectual theft. I have a close circle of trusted friends who brainstorm back and forth.

*pets pretty little plot bunnies* Right now, mine isn't so much what to write, but which one. Feast or famine... LOL

I do have people I brainstorm with , but they make it WORSE because it's one of their faults that the short regency is now a novel.

*smites them*

Plot bunnies aren't theft -- and anyone who tries to say so would be laughed out of court. Share with your friends all you like, and if you ever need plot bunnies, I've got them in abundance.

Like that parcel that was delivered this morning? That the butler tried to hide from the master of the house's view? Sneak it clean away from the family? What was in that? It looked heavy...

There you go. Free of charge. I'll never write a regency, not on my best day, so you enjoy it. (I am not smart enough to keep track of all the characters, if nothing else. I'd need a bloody flow chart!)

He's sneaking copies of Standish in for the staff....

:)

Thanks, sweetie, I may incorporate that into the novel...

It's how you clothe that plot bunny that counts, they're right. (The clothes maketh the Regency, long live your new novel!) The tailor's work has to be done first. It's only after somebody's pinned the bloody words on and done the hems up and made something civilized out of the bunny that it's stealing.
That said, some people are incredibly touchy about their pets, even though the things get out there and multiply like...never mind.

Nod nod - very true...

*giggles* Good to see you enjoying the writing, at least.
