timepiececlockDinner was... an unfortunate experiment. The sauce & noodle thing didn't work out, and my vegetable... no longer falls under the vegetable classification, I'm afraid. So I ate the fried chicken and the oven-toasted garlic bread.
Got a nice fanfic review for Aquarius, too, this evening. Apparently if I get someone to catch my tense changes for me, I'll automatically be upped from "great fic" to "a spectacular fic."
Interesting. I think it might take a bit more than that, but thought is nice. And Aquarius is one of the fics I was most pleased with when all is said and done. You know, there's those fics of your own that you don't even like to read, and the ones that you really enjoy rereading and leave you feeling better about yourself. This was one of those. Also, I had fun writing it and scouring my thesaurus to think of every possible way to talk about water falling from the sky without using the word "rain." That was rather trying, as a rain-kiss Challenge was the whole point of that fanfic to begin with.
So it's really pretty cool when you're feeling a bit down, and someone sends you a review for an older fic and suddenly you think, "Well hell, I can't cook worth shit but maybe I've got potential with this other thing."
Plus, she said the magic words: "I'm not even a buffy fan...and I quite enjoyed this."
Yeah, that's the sentence that brightens yourday night.

Also, *shocked and awed* you didn't use the word "rain" at all. I actually went back and reread 3 times just to look for "rain" because I could have sworn rain was mentioned.
BWAHAHAHAA! It was a success then. I convinced you that you'd read it when you never had. heeheheeee.
