"That's a great dress. Too bad it's an ugly color. But otherwise it's good."

I like how it's so hard for people to resist pointing out that there are typos in my fics. I know I'm not the only writer in fandom who puts out fics with misspellings or typos (maybe I do it more often, but if they're a new reader [and I figure people are new readers if I've never received feedback from them and they don't say they've read my fics before], they don't know that) so I have to ask: How often do y'all get feedback that says, "Great fic, but there were typos. But the typos didn't detract from the story, so it was still good,"? Because it really is a backhanded compliment.

Oh, and I think I was discussing making a Chloe/Chad/Lana icon with someone (Sofy?). Because I've found my Chad looks-wise (not height-wise, though). Hayden Christensen was all pretty and Goth in the beginning of Life As a House" "and think he'd do. I mean, he out-prettied The Pretty when he was in that makeup.

Speaking of The Pretty, I've decided I like Ian Somerhalder's voice, so my Prophet (Daniel) may now speak like Ian as well as look like him. The funny thing is, though, that now he's found his voice, one of my heroines (the one who should be paired up with him if all goes well and he doesn't go gay on me) has lost her voice. I mean, she *can* talk, but she won't. I don't know why yet.

Still working on the second draft of COTW 43. Much being added in, like another plot, apparently.
