god save little shops, china cups, and virginity

This is hyperbard's fault. A vignette:


Spellcheckers


The intructor rubbed her hands together and said, "Let's see what we have here. Wow! That's a really nice toad! Good work! It's a creative interpretation of the assignment--"

"But I didn't want him turned into a frog. I wanted him turned into a prince!"

"What? Let me see. Oh, it's here in line seven of the incantation. You used Microsoft glammer checker, didn't you?"

"Apple Spell Wizard," she said, sheepishly.



Hey, on five and a half hours of sleep. You want good flash fiction?

Draft stands at 83 pages. Death to the draft!

And now, back on the draftkill. Just as soon as I stretch out a little and make some tea.

Giggle.
That frog-to-prince algorithm is an ongoing issue, I've noticed.
Yes, plus that nasty little variation where toads drop from young women's mouths. More study clearly is needed.
I think you mean "grammarye checker".
gramarye... or glammer. *g* I think I'll change that.
*chuckle*
I've always stood in awe of writers able to paint pictures with 100 words or less. And that is a great picture.
Another 29 words and I would have had a drabble!
It still makes me snerk, though.

Must find a prize for you.
a husky lad offering neckrubs?
Wow, that *would* be a prize. Especially as I'm in rather urgent need of a neckrub myself. I'm afraid the best I can manage in that direction is a vivid wish for you to have such at your disposal.
Ah. Yes. Alas. Guess it's vodka, then. *g*
Buy you a drink when I see you in person, then. ;)
;-) I just told Nnedi I'd introduce her to varenyky. Sounds like a party...
You should come here and let me cook for you both. I need the laughter and distraction. The level of surreal awful in my life just skyrocketed.
oh, boo. sorry. :-(
