Writing.

[icarus]

Working on a story. Read sections of it to WG out loud. The first part made him laugh.

The second part he ripped to shreds, called it boring, said he didn't like slash in this context.

*rips up story and throws it away* So much for my only time to write this week.

*sighs heavily*

This sucks. Not having time to write really and truly sucks.

He's having a really rough time. I'm super-busy, so he feels like he doesn't have his girlfriend half of every week -- which is true, actually. I'm not around. He's having a hard time at work and feeling really depressed. The prospect of seeing his family for the holidays has him really down as well.

Ficlet for Icarus from Matilda Baggins

[(Anonymous)]

First of all, I know you don't really know me or anything, but I have really enjoyed your stories, and since you asked for stories, I thought I'd try to oblige. I'm not much of a writer, and it's kind of het, but still... Here it is:

(First line challenge -- from Reunion)

The knock sounded again, and Ron set down his beer, wondering what the
hell...? as he blinked and wandered to the door.

He tripped over a pizza box and slid to the floor. "Oo's air?"

"Death Eaters!"

"'arry, zat you?"

"No, no. Just Death Eaters. We're here to torture you unmercifully
before we go slaughter innocent Muggle schoolchildren."

"Don' b'lieve you... 's 'bout wedding, izznit?" Ron slurred.

"Indeed, no. We're Death Eaters with Dark Marks and everything. Come
on. Just let us in so we can cast Avada Kedavra. Won't take a minute."

"Sure you're nah 'arry?"

"Just Death Eaters. Come on. Open up."

"Righ' then." Ron fumbled the door open clumsily.

"Stupefy!" Harry glanced at Neville. "That was easier than I thought."

"Death Eaters, Harry? I don't know who's crazier, you or Ron," Ginny laughed.

"It worked, didn't it?" Harry shifted Ron's weight against his
shoulder and fumbled in his pocket for the portkey.

"Mmmmm... True," Ginny agreed as they all reached for Hermione's
school tie.

Oh, of course I know you Matilda! You've left so many great reviews on Skyehawke.com and on my site. You're probably the only person who's reviewed the drabbles for Beg Me For It, and I've always appreciated that and how you manage to convey so much of your response in just a paragraph - there's a real art to your reviewing. A while ago in fact I did a reviewer's appreciation day here (darned if I know when that was), and you featured prominently.

Hee. That'll teach Ron to drink. ;)
