Accident Drabble

[dwgm]

I was on my way home from the Japanese Take Out place (Shirmp & Tempura Udon, and Chicken Curry, and an Almond Milk Tea with large boba) when this drabble came to me, like a Vision. This week's theme is "Accident(s)".

~~ Chance Meeting ~~

They met quite by accident.

A bit of a splash and a roar from the battlements— Elizabeth!— and he’d found himself taking the role of Reluctant Hero. He wondered what sort of Elizabeth allowed herself to come to such a pass, but soon found out ‘allowed’ wasn’t quite the right word.

Damned corset! Came near to killing her, though her Da didn’t seem to see it in that light.

And Norrington: the Scourge of Piracy. What did the fool think he was up to? Robbery? Or ravishment? With those bloody Marines right there?

Yes. An accident. Pure happenstance.

Wasn’t it?

In other news, I found out I am getting my work computer upgraded with the DVD burner I wanted, AND 1 gig of RAM (WhooHoo!). Also got received my new scanner today, so I will have much fun with that tomorrow.

Must eat the Udon & Curry now, and hopefully finish that fic I've been working on, and then (if I can stay awake) read and edit for ladywarringford, and give feedback to fabu and the_dala and viva_gloria (An Alchemical Prescription!! Yes!!).

Excellent :)

Thanks, sweetie! ^^

Wonderful! Eat more tempura so you can have another J/E drabble inspiration.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Good tempura is so inspiring!

So happy you enjoyed it. :)

That was so cool!

Loved this one -- which is about all I can say about everything I've come across from you to date. And to think, I've only just scratched the surface... I've gotta get more online time!

BTW... how do I make one of those nifty icons? LOL! the_dala has a particular favorite of mine -- 'Miranda and the Tempest' by John William Waterhouse. Wonder why that one appeals, eh? ;)

Ha! They aren't hard to make if you have a graphics program, like Photoshop or something. They just have to be 100x100 pixels., and less than 40k (I think). Or, you can gack them from others, which I have done quite often. There are lots of icon communities (potc_icons is one). There's info on them in the LJ FAQ's.

So happy you liked the drabble--your turn now! It's just 100 words. ;)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

[ladywarringford.livejournal.com]

Woo-hooo! I've come into the 21st century!

... and I've got the beginnings of a drabble rattling around in my wee little noggin. Dang it. As if I'm not up to my eyeballs already! Do you see what you've started here?!?

LOL!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Oooh, can't wait to read it!!

Only a hundred words...YOU CAN DOOOO EEEEEEET!!!

(Rather gorgeous icon, btw)

Grin!

[ladywarringford.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I like him too. Gotta just love the pic fodder in the Lost Disk!

Only 100 words... oy vey. This just ain't gonna let me go, is it?

Po-Drabble Chips -- you can't write just one!

Re: Grin!

Oh, yes, lots of great pix on the Lost Disk. I haven't cottoned on to the art of screencapping, unfortunately, but I swipe other people's work, when I have the opportunity.

So sorry I don't have your story all edited--STILL trying to finish up mine. But I noticed only the one spelling error on my first readthrough, like I said--should be altar instead of alter. Hopefully you have other, more reliable sources of editing. I still may get to do it tomorrow, but I know you want to put it up on Friday and I don't want to hold you up.

There's an interesting LJ Community I just joined -- kiss_me_hardy. It's a discussion group for Age of Sail fandom members. Might be useful!

Bed now. *sigh* Still have a bit to go on my story. :(

Huzzah for Visions! Love this! ...what sort of Elizabeth... :-)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked that line. That, and all the ideas in these 100 words have been rolling around in my head for a while.

Oooh, I do love your icon!!

[hereswith.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-)

Ps. Will start to go through the story now, and get back to you in a bit.

Another wonderful example of why I love your drabbles so much. Direct and so Jack! *hugs*

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

:::hugs back:::

So very happy you enjoyed it!

[gingersnapps.livejournal.com]

Wow....I am very impressed....just--WOW!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

With what? My drabble, or my computer upgrades? LOL! I SO NEED that 1 gig of RAM!!

xoxox

[gingersnapps.livejournal.com]

Your RAM of course--I mean a whole gig--incredible!!

xoxo too!

See you tomorrow at five!

[cornfields.livejournal.com]

Gah! Love the drabble, but 100 words is never enough! ;)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thanks! 100 words is pretty minimal. Good editing exercize, though. I'm glad you enjoyed this one.
