I guess no IHOP.

Which means I should probably drink something caffeinated before the headaches become worse.

Am attempting to write, but nothing will cooperate. I hate this. Invariably it means something new will pop up, and I really don't fucking want that -__- Stupid Cursed Knight, cooperate with me!

my advice is make eggs. scrambled eggs with a touch of salt and pepper to season. (and coffee, but coffee is the basis of any good breakfast)

Anything I can do to poke your muses into action?

If I had eggs, I'd make them.

No, but thanks. They'll cooperate when they want, and not a moment sooner.

heh, I only made eggs because if I didn't they were going to go bad. ^___^ But they were tastier than I thought they'd be.

Well, if you need a cattle prod I'm sure I could find one. ^__~ I live near farms, sort of.

Oh, and on your convict story -- do you want it in chunks or just one hit when it's all done?

A smart woman would say one hit, but I have never been a smart woman. Torture me!

Heh, give me an hour or two and I'll have this scene wrapped up to send to you. ^__^

I'm sure it'll all fall into place. ^_^

*pats* I am sorry you had a bad weekend. I certainly know what it's like to feel like I wasted days, especially when I wanted to be doing something. But you attempted, and everyone gets hard-to-be-productive days and you shouldn't beat yourself up over it. Things will come eventually! And as it's obvious how much you love writing, I would think sooner rather than later. *thumbs up*

^^ I myself have been reading all your posted works rather fanatically (as if you couldn't tell, from the onslaught of comments) and I did have a lot to say about what've I've finished over the past two days, but I think you might not want to be bothered? I would be happy to share of course! But perhaps later? Or you just let me know if you are in the mood to read them. And if you are not, that's fine too, and I'll stop, but just know I am reading, because I like to inform authors I like of that fact.

Aha, okay, done now.

Heh, your comments have been a lot of fun to read. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself ^___^

In that case!

I started and finished reading what was posted of Prisoner (although it is finished, correct? I know you have a book up...) and I must say. Deiter? I sort of want to kick him. I mean, I know half of why he acts the way he does, and it's pretty amazing how steadfast and strong he is, really, considering how everybody "favors" him. And I can also see how madmadhorriblyupset he would be over the deaths of all his mean and how that's a grudge to hang onto. But Beraht ;___; I was so upset when he finally accepted the name because I didn't want him to! (*is a spoiled brat I'm sure*) I mean, the very worst, utterly most sad thing he could have done short of torture and really, it's just another kind of torture isn't it? And he knows it and Beraht knows it and I sort of figure that they're going to be a pairing in the end and aside from the fact that's it's going to be really two-way abusive (both verbally and physically) I can't fathom how. *huffshuffs* And Iah made me so sad. Because eyeballs can't grow back! Every time I read parts with him in them, I can see him not seeing and how hard it is and ;____;

I must admit, I was quite confused with who Sol was until the last chapters or so, because for some reason I didn't connect that he was an Illuser spy--I thought that he was still Salharn but...um. Actually, that was pretty silly of me, nevermind. And this Breaker business, well, I still don't quite get it, though considering I only got up to the part where the explaining really began. Aha, well, only to be expected of me!
And that's as far as I can comment on Prisoner. ^^;

Next, I read all the was posted of Black Magic (I almost didn't want to read the stories that weren't finished/posted up but...then I did). LOVE. IT. SO MUCH. I loved, loved Koray and wanted him happy as soon as he was introduced and was very happy with how Sorin came around so quickly and my! Your take on Necromancy in the story was very interesting--that's an idea I'd never heard of before. Very unique, and I really liked that twist. They don't have to be bad, or evil, and you managed a great way to have that be portrayed. ^^; I'm in the middle of re-reading Necromancer now, actually.

As for Alchemist, I liked that one too. I thought the gems were also an interesting idea. Zadae...bugs me. I was surprised at how much everyone let him say before finally really threatening him to shut up. Meanmean. And he makes me suspicious >.> I really would like to see how that unfurls.

Regency was also quickly consumed. Of the three, Gideon and Tem were my favorite (even though Rae throws things. Really). They were very cute and I felt so bad for how well, awkward it was. It was easy enough to just...watch their situation and go "Nooooo you loooove each otheeeer nooooo." (Though I have had this reaction to characters of yours on definitely more than one occasion.) Sometimes I wish characters got shoved together more. One of my favorite descriptions you use, actually. "Shove!" ^^;; Hee. Also, um, well, I was happy that you made Gideon the more forward one, because, er, that'swhatIwashopingwouldhappen. I was so, so worried that someone would walk in on them though (and rightfully so as it did happen). At least it wasn't Pierce! X_x; I was worried it might have been Pierce. Mmph, and my favorite line in the story would definitely have to be Gideon's little gem about not accidentally being polite to whomever gave Tem the scars.

(Sorry, sorry, I am quite silly when I like things. But...at least, it seems, I am providing amusement?)

Anyway, I am sure that this is quite long enough for now, not to mention that I really should at least begin to think about sleeping (trying to work on three separate costumes all at more or less the same time mucked up my brain)...

Night! (and I hope you are feeling better, productivity-wise.)

Um, hi--yes, I'm back. Just remember how I was re-reading Necromancer? Well I forgot to say how I liked the trains of thoughts each character had. The Goddess was a special 'character' I liked very much as well. Oh, and The look of utter confusion and near horror was almost comical.

Almost. Mostly it was depressing.
was one of my favorite lines in the story. It made me sort of giggle and cringe at the same time. Anyway, I liked it. <3

Now I really am just going to finish it and go, promise. Totally going to save more reviews for later.
