Poem: Lux Dieis Natalis

[nebroadwe]

In honor of evil_little_dog's natal day, I post this tanka on behalf of Edward Elric:

Stumbling in darkness,
Haunted by whispers until
Light breaks in at last:

Who'd have thought that birthday cake
Could hold so many candles?

What can I say? He's a snarky one, he is.

Many happy returns!

I hear that. [stares at current piece in queue. It stares back. This may take a while.]

Uh huh...and I wish my original fic characters were talking nearly as much as Arakawa's characters are. *glowers*

I just wish I had the courage to start the original fic that's going around and around inside my head. The length of it intimidates the bejeezus out of me -- and it's basically a collect-the-coupons plot, which are terribly hackneyed unless done really well. (See The Tough Guide to Fantasyland.) My characters might be interesting enough to carry it off, but ... [wibbles indecisively and goes back to fanficcing].

pfft.

I just started working on another original fic....

*glowers at characters*

Really wish I could've gotten my fey story off the hard drive of the computer my ex-husband ganked in the divorce. *Siiiiigh* I miss those characters bunches but they don't talk any more.
