Fanfiction: Venez m'aider

[nebroadwe]

Help, help: I am hiding under a quarto volume bound in one-quarter blind-stamped pig over vellum-covered wooden boards with two leather-and-metal clasps and metal catchplates (one intact), that just happens to contain an incunable and three early printed books in need of identification and cataloging, but a deposed king keeps trying to tell me what it's like for him in prison and that his heir wouldn't have lasted six months on the throne if it weren't for his friend the deus ex machina propping him up.

Technical question: do plotbunnies purr? Do RL bunnies? [googles] Looks like they do. Huh. They also grind their teeth when pleased, which somehow seems even more appropriate.

I'm sure plot bunnies purr (and cackle and grind their teeth). And some of them look just as innocent as...Thumper.

I'm starting to envision mine as the guardian beast of the Cave of Caerbannog.

HEEEE.

They sell those, you know. I'm afraid to get one for fear it might incite riots.

They sell them? [googles] Good grief. (And now I'm imagining how your ELDs might react to the slipper version ...)

Actually, I have animal slippers - ELD animal slippers, that silvrethorn got for me one Yule, some time back, and last year, Mom got me turtle slippers. Rogue Marie thinks they're the best thing evar and will bite my feet, trying to get the slippers off. Of course, she's the same way with my gloves.

Heh. I remember the Shepherdy mix one of my friends owned (now gone to the Happy Hunting Grounds, alas) having a protective growly fit when another friend arrived at a party wearing one of those big, furry, Russian-style winter hats. She seemed to be sure it was some strange animal attempting to make inroads on her territory.

Rogue would probably steal my hats, too, given the chance. When they were here alone the other day, I found the two sets of gloves I keep next to my computer (wrist support and scribner gloves) had been separated and I had to do a little search and find to locate one glove from each set.
