I may regret this...

Meme from selenite

"The first 10 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble on a subject/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal."

The original intent was for fanfic, but jazz007 widened it out to opinions/rants/whatever. selenite picked it up under those terms, and I really wanted to give him one.

However, I can't write fanfic. I've written one once. And that was for a special situation that really did not require me to come up with a plot. I do not think I could do it 10 more times.

But you can have sonnets. I used to do this in high school, take challenges to write a sonnet on varying subjects. They won't be high art, but they will technically be sonnets. (If you pick some fandom thing I haven't seen, I won't be able to do it.)

If somebody really wants, they can ask and I can *try* to do a story, but I may not be able to. If anybody wants to give me a songbird (filk equivalent of a plot bunny - like when someone said "Paperback Writer should really be filked into Admiral's Captain for Cordelia in Bujold"), I can try that.

But default is sonnets.

Oh dear, am regretting this already. I have as many requests in under an hour as selenite has had in two days - on two journals!

Well, perhaps it will be good for me. Going to take a while, though. /sharpens mental pencils

Sonnet the first

No, I'm not doing these in comment order, it's in inspiration order. And no, I did not promise Art. Just format.

( muffin sonnet for Cawti )

time delay

Just so you know, those poem things are going to take some serious TIME.

I am SO SO frustrated - I want to start work on another poem, but Maggie interrupts me every few words.

And then the train of thought and the scansion goes POOF.

The man from Porlock has nothing on her.
