So, Brenton and I have decided to try and help each other to actually get writing done every once in a while. The logical solution seemed to be weekly writing prompts --we've since determined that the prompt will go up Monday and last until Sunday. It's our project, but you're welcome to join, especially as it will guilt me into doing mine sooner, hopefully.

Anyways, he came up with the first:

Prompt: Fracture a fairytale. This can be done in any particular way you wish (gender swap, heroes are villains, whatever).
Length: 700 - 900 words minimum

Enjoy!

Were I romantically cynical, I'd say it's impossible for me to have a relationship with someone that is both non-platonic and simple. After all, even if the core relationship itself is simple (we have no intentions of ever being serious in any way ever but we like kissing), there are the others I love, to which such things should be explained, and the others they love, and so on and so out.

...Were I romantically cynical. I'm not, of course, for I am a bringer of smiles and sunshine1, and I do so enjoy this enigmatic thing called life, and love, and relationships, and people, and the strands that connect them and interlock and tumble outward.

So, I'm sure it is possible for me to have a true simplification, someone who makes the social part of my life easier and not harder, and who I do not have to be totally platonic with. Hope springs ever-eternal, and on days when everything seems hellbent on making my life harder, it's a nice sort of thing to cling to.

Or as my sister would mock, "I wish I could stop being emo but I just CAN'T!"

This turned out rather longer than expected --it was meant to just compress the whole thought into a bit more characters than your standard tweet. More's the pity.

PostScript: "But Sor! We're non-platonic and I make your life simpler!" If I call you complication, or if we have ever discussed, regardless of how serious, living together, you don't qualify. Complicated is not bad, nor does it in any way diminish my love for you. Except when my social bar is full, and then I don't particularly care for anyone.

...Not that I'm cynical, of course.

1: Gloom and Doom, babe. Is that your style? Smiles and sunshine, love. Is that yours?
