taste_is_sweet | Birds and other animals. (Like, twitter! Birds tweet! Get it?)

Tomorrow evening, my dear Flisties, you'll be able to find me staging a Twitter Takeover with my good buddy and partner in crime

sgamadison. We'll be using the @dreamspinners account between 7 and 9 pm Eastern time (That's 6 and 8 Central). We'll be answering questions and discussing our books, and I'd love to see some of you there. :D

The other animals are were-dinosaurs. Specifically, seven lines of my current WIP novel, which I've lovingly given the working title of 'Gay Were-Dinosaurs of the Pseudo Amish Apocalypse'. I was tagged by

brumeier, to take seven lines from the seventh page of a current WIP. So here ya go, a perfect two paragraphs:

The other end of the chain on the crazy hybrid's ankle was attached to one of the exposed metal supports in the crumbling concrete wall that surrounded the village. The enclosure for the hybrids used the wall as one side. The rest of the rectangle was made of nothing sturdier than thick pieces of wood. The fact that the two unchained hybrids hadn't leapt over the fence or broken it down and slaughtered every single person in the village was only because they were too weak to do it.

Kai sneered in disgust and allowed himself the soft growl that wanted to escape from his throat. He'd be the first to agree that the hybrids were horrifically destructive and the most dangerous land-animal on what was left of the planet, but they didn't deserve to be treated like this. This was torture by neglect.

And I'm tagging seven more:

Oh dear. Not sure if I'm more frightened by the gay were-dinosaurs or doing this meme. Oh Kai, you're such a softie underneath all that macho hunter stuff. I shall go forth and meme sometime today.

Kai is a total sweetheart. With some vicious tendencies. :) Thank you.

Do the meme! DOOO EEET! You know you want to!

Well, you know I want you to. Do it for ME! ::g::

Aaaaaaaahh--is that a zombie!John nomming on Rodney's head in your icon?!?

Yes! :D

chkc made it for me when I was lamenting a sad SGA fic I was writing. :)

Your story title had me LOL: it reminded me of a (yes, real) 'book' titled Gaygent Brontosaurus: The Butt is Not Enough (seriously, go look it up on Amazon)

Love your snippet!

I think everyone I could possibly think of to tag has already been tagged on this meme, but I'm happy to play along. Will post mine in a bit. :-)

Awesome! I look forward to reading it! (Please mention me so I'll know--I'll likely forget otherwise. In fact, I probably already did.)

I did--but here's the link in case you missed it! :-)

Gay were-dinosaurs FTW!

Thank you, yes. Definitely FTW. :D

Ooh, Twitter! If I remember after work I'll stop by. Not promising I'll have a functional brain at that point. ::grins::

Is Kai going to get mean with someone? He should. Torture isn't good no matter who is on the receiving end. I don't blame him for being mad. ::dino fistbump of solidarity::

::fistbump:: Kai will get is licks in for sure, but I don't think he'll be the one to deal with the antagonist. Still need to get to that part, however...

Gay were-dinosaurs? I am intrigued. And a little amused :P

Ahahahahaha, your icon! :-DD

Benton Fraser isn't afraid to use his tongue ;)

Heh! Thank you. I hope the finished product is also intriguing!

Hey, it's you; I have no doubt the finished product is going to be amazing.

Cool, sounds fun!

And ooh, dinos! But of course you must have your dinos with a side of angst.... ::grin::

Hee! Yeah, that would be me. Everything with angst! Angst is like my little black dress of writing. Or bacon.

Those are great 7 lines, I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing. :) But alas I have not written anything in ages - let alone anything that's 7 pages long omg, I haven't done that in years and years. So I have to sadly say pass to the prompt, for not meeting the qualifications.

Awwwwww--do you have a different 7-line snippet you can share? I've seen other folks adapt the rules, & it's great fun reading these little bits! They're like LJ tapas. :-)))

:: flutters long pony-eyelashes hopefully ::

Thank you! I'm looking forward to finishing it...

I'm totally with Pony on this. I think you could take one line from seven fics, or seven lines from the first page, or whatever you want! This is just for fun. :D

Alas I don't have seven fics either, I honestly haven't written in years and right now am so busy with work, RL and tag wrangling for AO3 that I just about find the time to read a fic now and then, let alone write it. ^.^ But should I get on a writing spree you'll be the first ones to know. ;)

Grrrrrr, your snippet has brought out my cranky: I hate reading about neglect & abuse of helpless creatures, no matter what they were before they became helpless. The lovely title leads me to hope that Kai might help these hybrids, tho' it doesn't seem like he has any affection for them....

Besides, I'd read the hell outta 'Gay Were-Dinosaurs of the Pseudo Amish Apocalypse' purely on principal! ;-)

Damn, I'm sorry about that! Rest assured that the person who chained up the hybrids gets his own by the end of the story.

I'm glad you like the working title. I'm sure the real one will be a tad more sober, however. ;)
