Your Move“All I’m saying,” she frowned, uncrossing and recrossing her legs under the table, “is that he should’ve been a man about it. I don’t see why he couldn’t say it to my face. You just don’t do that sort of thing over the phone. Not after eight months! Rook to C8.”

He nodded, readjusting his glasses as she’d found that he was apt to do when she’d made a move he didn’t expect. “That does seem really cheap,” he admitted, peering down at the board like an old man. “Did he give you a reason at all? Rook to C1.”

She let out a huffy breath and tossed one of her long brai

Trapped - Ch 3 - A Firefly FicJayne had finally taken a seat near the door, still twitchy but having decided that pacing wasn't worth it if it got Crazy all riled up. Occasionally he glanced over at her. She was always staring at him with that unnervingly steady gaze. He found himself annoyed that he kept looking over, but he could feel her eyes on him and it made him nervous.

"Wouldja stop lookin' at me like that?" he growled finally.

"Like what?" River said, innocent as a child.

"Like you're readin' my mind," Jayne muttered, and River laughed.

"What should I look at you like?"

"Shouldn't look at me at all," Jayne replied gruffly.

"I like to look at you," River sai

Bite MeBite Me: An Analysis of the Myth of Woman in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight

Since being published in 2005, Stephenie Meyer's Twilight has gone from just another young adult fantasy novel to a cult phenomenon that has gripped millions of readers of all ages. When a piece of literature becomes as widespread as Twilight, it becomes especially important to examine the messages it is sending to its readers – many of whom, in Twilight's case, are impressionable young women. By applying a feminist lens to the novel and examining it in terms of Simone de Beauvoir's myth of woman, it is revealed that Twilight is a hotbed of antifeminist sentiment,

Love IsLove has been compared to so many things, and so confidently. “Love is like wildflowers,” people say. “Love is like a hurricane.” “Love is like a heat wave.” “Love is like quicksilver in the hand,” “Love is like luck.” It seems so arrogant to believe that just because you label it that way, it is so for everyone.

Our love is not a hurricane, our love is not luck. For us, or perhaps even only for me, our love is like balloons. Brightly colored, fiercely joyful things – party balloons, buoyant and barely restrained, a shock of color in the grey landscape of the sky. Our love is that beauti

There's a Body on my TablePaul unlocked, locked, unlocked, locked, unlocked, locked and unlocked the door before pushing it open. He took off his shoes, left one first, and laid them by the door in perfect parallel to each other.

“I’m home,” he called, and from the top of the stairs the fish in his aquarium burbled in response. He counted his steps to the kitchen – one, two, three...fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. He lined up his feet and looked at the digital clock on the microwave - 6:04. He waited patiently, watching, until – ah, 6:05. Letting out the breath he’d been holding, he turned to the kitchen table and-

Oh, God. Paul was sudden

Trapped - Ch 4 - A Firefly FicA number of thoughts ran through Jayne's head, which rarely happened to him. The first was Hell, if I kiss her, she'll lose. The one immediately following was Hey, I think she wants me to kiss her! Then came Wait a second…this is River. Crazy girl who gored me with a knife. There were a few other thoughts, too, that weren't quite so savory.

His eyes flicked up to meet River's again and his mind went blank. Her big brown eyes that he'd thought so childish before were strikingly adult, long, dark lashes sweeping over them like a veil. Jayne realized that he'd never really looked into a woman's eyes like this before. Girl. Not a woman, a g

Trapped - Ch 2 - A Firefly Fic"Is she in your way, Kaylee? Is she botherin' you? I don't want you distracted when our lives are on the line here, and if she's distractin' you, I'd be more'n happy to get her out of the way, 'cause—"

"Jayne," Kaylee interrupted, not moving her eyes from the engine in front of her, one hand busily working a wrench.

"Yeah?" Jayne said. His hands were hovering near his hip holsters, as though he suspected something would jump out and shoot at them. It was a nervous habit, and Kaylee knew it.

"Shut up," Kaylee said kindly.

With a huff, Jayne turned around and started pacing. He glanced out the engine room doors and then turned back tow

Save a HorseBuck heard the door close behind him, already counting the bills in his hands. Finding that the woman had overpaid him a little, he grinned – something truly disconcerting on the face of a Holstein bull. He buttoned his shirt halfway up on his way to the elevator, hiding the perfect human body that made him all his money – or at least most. His bovine ears twitched at the ding the elevator made when it reached the lobby of the hotel.
"Hey Buck," a plain brunette waved to him from behind the counter. He glanced up at her and tucked the wad of bills into his back pocket.
"Hi Kristy," he said in a deep, liquid baritone that sounded

^{This is gorgeous! I've always loved Gelerts . . . And Viviell is certainly no exception!}

~littlepapagei Mar 4, 2010

what a great gelert! I hate to say it, but the hair sort of detracts from the rest; in my opinion.

~Ginnabean Mar 4, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you! I debated with myself a lot over the hair, but I ended up deciding to do it because without it, she was just a dalmatian with a red bow on her tail, and that wasn't distinguishing enough for me. -shrug-

~littlepapagei Mar 5, 2010

fair enough. I guess my vote should REALLY be: More hair, or no hair. it looks like she shaved the back of her head or something, to have bands and little ringlets but no hair in the back. X)

~austheke Jan 14, 2010 Writer

I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said to this. XD It's wonderful.

On a side note, is it just my browser or is the transparency in the small-view image showing up black and patchy? D:

~Ginnabean Jan 15, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Only in the preview, yeah. That happens with transparent PNGs, unfortunately. DX
