I drew stuff.

I drew art for the latest AS/S Fest!  It was kind of fun, even though plaid is a real bitch, I discovered.  I knew I would ruin it if I coloured it, so it's just sketchy.

The story was written by mayberry_rose .  It was angsty when I read it but I think she fixed it.  *grin*

Angry boys in kilts!

Oh, and if anyone was concerned by my sudden need to write Bradley/Colin, fear not, it doesn't mean I'm leaving the HD fandom.  I WILL NEVER LEAVE MY OTP!!!!  *glomps my fav boys*  In fact I'm working on four two HD stories right now!!!

I have about a trillion comments yet to reply to, so please be aware that I am not ignoring you!  I have the tabs open!  Along with 72 others!

OH MY FUCKING GOD THE GORGEOUS HOTTIE FROM THE BANK FRIENDED ME BACK ON FACEBOOK AND NOW I CAN DIE HAPPY.  *flaility flaility flail*

STALKING = WIN.

I also ran into former co-worker Alex this morning on my way to work.  Utterly random and I don't remember him looking quite so fit.  *ponders*

I think that's enough random babbling for now.  This week's (late) Twinsmut is almost done.  I love you guys!!!!

Twinsensibility Part Twenty Nine

DRUNKEN POST OF DOOM

Okay, I'm not that drunk, but three glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon on top of cold tablets totally counts.  *nods*  And look, I can still spell!  So I'm good.

ANYWAY.  When I was at Azkatraz many eons ago back in July, a comment on the HD fanfic panel bugged me.  It was suggested that short fics were not worthy - that emotional characterization cannot be created in fewer than 30,000 words.  Everyone on the panel seemed to agree with this and I absolutely did not.

Granted, I definitely enjoy a meaty long fic, in which we can learn of the boys' past, of their struggles, of their gradual attraction to each other, but I will certainly not disparage a lovely short fic in which the author can deliver a very satisfying emotional jolt in just a few words.  Hell, I've read 100 word DRABBLES that were wrenching and exquisite.

What do you think?  Is it impossible to deliver satisfying backstory and emotional drama in less than 10k?  Examples would be fab.

Apparently, sometimes I think better when drinking...

LOL!
