I have a confession to make
*steps up to the podium, taps the mike*
Uh, hi. My name is Melanie.
*hi Melanie*
And, uh, I was up until 7:00 AM this morning writing a short story. It's 2600 words, is complete, the plot hangs together nicely, and the main character develops along the way. I think I got the character voices right, and I'm really, really, REALLY pleased with the way it turned out.
Uh, and the ending is seriously hot. Yeah.
*the audience shuffles, confused*
Oh, why am I up here? Yeah. Uh...
I stayed up until 7:00 AM this morning...
...writing CSI fanfic.
*crickets*
Oh, God, I'm so ashamed. I thought I was on the wagon, I swear -- only original fic for me, stuff I could sell. No more trawling back alleys for a fix, haunting FanFiction.Net for a well-written shipper story. I was clean, I swear.
But I couldn't stop myself. After watching Thursday's episode, I think something just snapped, and the story started pouring out of me.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I had to tell someone.
*takes a deep breath*
Okay, I feel better. Thank you for listening.
And I promise, I'm still working on my original stuff.
But damn, doing this piece was seriously sweet...
