Gah!

So here I am sitting in the computer class room waiting for class to start.  All I want to do is get home to my own computer and try to finish "The Nurse's Date" before I have to head to work.  I'm being so bad with these fanfics.  I'm just writing as hard and fast as I can because the imagery is pouring out of my brain and through my fingers, but I'm not taking time to proofread or any such activity in which a writer should naturally engage.  All I'm concerned with is getting it done so I can get on with the next idea I have.  It's horrid. 

I wish that the inspiration was directed at The Blood Crown instead of fanfiction, but I'll take what I can get when it comes to inspiration striking me with a two-by-four. 

Class should let out a little before Noon.  It'll take me five minutes to get home.  I'll then need to feed and water the cats and yip-yap with Aunt  Tudi, which should give me a good hour to work on "The Nurse's Date."  Can I do it?  Can I finish and post it before the 1:30 deadline?  We'll see.  I hope.

The next one may be called "The Biker Chick's Date" because the song "Sex on Wheels" just seems so Joker-ish and I've been listening to that song a lot lately. So we'll see.

Just a sample

I'm not going to finish it before I have to go to work. Damn. But here's a sample from the story, which is already at 5403 words (jeeeebus!). This one is really explicit, by the way, with all manner of debauchery and the sample I'm posting here is a mild example of what goes on. Here's hoping those who read find it interesting enough to want to read the whole thing once it's ready.

Heartbroken

Despite the ongoing feud over the years and my obvious siding with Jeff Lynne, it's with profound sorrow I discovered that Kelly Groucutt has died at age 63 from a heart attack.

When I came to the foot of the ELO throne, I came to know them as four: Jeff Lynne, Bev Bevan, Richard Tandy, and Kelly Groucutt. They were the four pictured in the Xanadu record album. Admittedly, Kelly was always my least favourite and I railed against him when he filed that lawsuit against Jeff Lynne, but just reading that one of the FOUR had passed instantly broke my heart.

I just burst out crying, scaring Aunt Tudi to death 'cos, one minute I was fine, the next I just wasn't. So I told her what had happened and she totally understood. She's been with me on my ELO journey from Day One. She knows how important Kelly Groucutt was to me, just like all of them. If he can elicit this kind of reaction, what's going to happen if Jeff Lynne dies before I do? I may die myself of a truly shattered heart.

hughcasey originally posted this a day or so ago, but I feel it needs as much exposure as possible (not that my dinky corner of the Blogworld is going to make much of a dent) and I wanted to immortalise it here on The Cliffs 'cos it's funny as all Sith Hell.

Thanks again, hughcasey. Of all nights, I needed this laugh so very very much. ::smooch::
