this is fun

Stolen from skylark97 and thornsilver

1. Take five books off your bookshelf bedside cabinet.
Well, I have a huge ass bookshelf next to my bed, so I closed my eyes and snatched randomly. This should be fun...

2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

I may as well start with some of our deep secrets because this account will not be easy to understand without them. Each night the scratches would be worse - one night his side would be chewed up; the next it would be his underbelly, raked with claw marks and bloody to the touch. Alec accepted the praise with a shy grin. By the time they reached the Red Cat, Francesca sensed that the younger woman wanted to be friends, not simply business associates.

1. Deep Secret by Diana Wynne Jones
2. Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gamen
3. Traitor's Moon by Lynn Flewelling
4. The Shadow of the Lion by Mercedes Lackey et al.
5. Grimm's Complete Fairytales

check this for me?

This is the story I wrote for the OC Ficathon, I'm worried about the fact I didn't meet all her requests - love story I nailed, don't know if 'angst' is suitably met. But she said she liked fairytales, so I'm hoping that mean this is good enough. It's a take on Cinderella, and full credit for the idea goes to my sister rykaine. (I hope she doesn't mind me using it for this, though she'll yell at me regardless, heh). Maybe she can help me with 12 Dancing princesses, which I'm rather upset with at the moment...anyway, tell me if this is any good? I'm kinda stuck on the end, it refuses to be written any further.

( Cinderella, slash style )

Going to see Shrek 2 today, probably will edit and submit this when I get back - hopefully by then I'll have come up with a better ending. Unless I'm told "don't bother" in which case I shall weep bitter tears of misery and shame.

If you haven't seen Shrek 2

GO SEE IT NOW.

I heart Puss in Boots. And the rest of that movie. I didn't think it was possible but I swear it was better than the first. It was absolutely gorgeous.
