I got about 330 words these last few hours after I skipped ahead a bit in the scene so I'm happy.

Actually I'm really happy because I managed just over 550 this weekend, plus some comments and actual interactions with people, which is the most I've managed in a good few weeks. So yay the power of fic-rush strikes again!

Hope you all had a good round as well!

It may be time to change my rush name. Nemesis is not longer with us (fuck cancer) and it just feels wrong to keep using it.

Thanks for all the modly effort, and thanks for all the encouragement!

[xandromedovna]

Summary:

Adrien rubbed the back of his neck and didn't meet her eyes. "Sooo I kind of had a fight with my father. The part where the art room social scene comes in is, I told him I'm done modeling for anything but romance novel covers. And he doesn't believe me."

"...Romance novel covers," Marinette repeated slowly, imagination filling with Adrien in a charcoal suit waltzing with a woman in a crimson silk gown. Adrien in a pirate ship's crow's nest, poet shirt open to show his defined pecs and abs, with the black-and-red-garbed pirate queen. Adrien, blue-jeaned and shirtless and wielding a broadsword, with—

"The thing is—and this," Marc added, "is the part where Loverboy is getting all flustered—the thing is, romance novels, as a general rule, have two protagonists."

"Both of whom," continued Nathaniel while eyeing Marinette, "ought to be on the cover. Otherwise readers will get confused about the genre."

"Subtle," said Marinette. "Adjective. Antonyms include Marc and Nathaniel."

Well, I now have a full poem draft that doesn't suck much. It took me ten days to write the first 14 stanzas of this version, and I wrote the remaining 10 stanzas yesterday.

Thank you very much, mods! :)

Ooh, I like the final line of your summary quote. :D That's great that the recipient likes it so much! ^^

[alexseanchai]

Thanks everyone! I only really made icons, but they needed to be made, so...

Only about 1.5k words, which is lower than I would have liked, but the weather demanded I get out in the garden. Root removing is still ongoing, but cuttigs are taken, and there was also cross stitch done, so I'm satisfied with what I achieved over the weekend.

All hail the valiant mods and usurpers for wrangling squirrels and penguins and so forth while keeping us all more or less on track!

[xandromedovna]

About 850 words and finished grading exams; not too shabby!
