ROFL!!! You're evil! I have the strong feeling that Doyle's in for some surprise. But then again maybe not... He can be very deceiving and I'm not altogether sure if he'll be the one that gets tied up... *EG*

Thank you! I can't resist a punchline. :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it made you laugh as it was sort of written with you in mind. I believe I'd promised handcuffs... *eg*

*snorts* Somebody is surely in for a surprise...

[schnuffi.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thanks! You've sure been spoiling me since last night *G*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Yeah I can see Ray's face now! :D

[hambelandjemima.livejournal.com]

*sporfle* Well done :D

Practice makes perfect, Bodie, so get plenty in. As the rent boy said to the copper

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

enjoyed that!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, practice... Hmmmm...

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

Laffing here. You're clever, you are.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Ha! Excellent! Thank you! *wanders off, still grinning*

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

Good one!!! I can just see the scene you have set, Doyle grumbling while packing and Bodie with that smirk on his face.

Lovely!!

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Glad to have made you giggle, Mac! :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Then my work here is done! :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D Who could resist that smirk? ♥

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

LOL! Woohoo! BDSM. Thank heavens. I'm happy now.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Always happy to provide a service to the community! *whistles* *eg*

*giggles* Bodie approves *points at icon* You've said in various places that you find writing comically a challenge (and my goodness, I know where you're coming from on that one) but take it from me the finished product is always *very* good ♥

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

While I like to think I'm a reasonably funny person, I find writing angst to be much easier. This probably will not come out right but when you are playing on people's emotions you don't have to worry quite as much about specific word choices/word placement.

On the other hand, you can write a line of dialogue for a character that's supposed to be a funny line and blow it completely just be putting the words in the wrong order. Like when people try to tell you a joke and go "oh, hang on a minute I was supposed to say this first."

I've never been interested in doing what I already know how to do... *is demented*

Ooh... does this mean you've joined up? Will you be drabbling with us this weekend?

[halotolerant.livejournal.com]

I understand what you mean about word placement. I always think what's hard is making characters stay in-character in the way that they are funny - something you seem to be very good at even at your wackiest moments *cough* nuns' habits *cough*

I joined the comm a little while ago but I'm not watching it because flist can only handle two very active comms at once really, so I only saw these drabbles just now.

Will you be drabbling with us this weekend?
Try and stop me, baby :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Dialogue is easier for than description. I think that comes from having a background in part in Drama and playwriting. I "hear" characters in my head and pick humour accordingly. So Sam tends to play word games, where Gene would be more on the money. But then you know this... ♥

I have a reverse philosophy. I have my small Coms on my flist and I visit the sites of my large Coms when I have the reading time. That way I find I miss less than when I did it the other way around.

Yeah! :D I hope tomorrow's challenge is a good one...
