Out of Context! What happened in your story the last you worked on it?

Narrowly misses… that’s a good thing, right?

Instead of saying “narrowly hits” somehow “narrowly misses” sounds like he wasn’t meant to miss :grimacing:

Or maybe my mind is in a dark place after writing dark poems :stuck_out_tongue:

I haven’t touched my current work in many months as the predicted plot issues seemed terminal. However, I might be able to fix most, or at least justify possible solutions, by changing a major support character’s (puppet master’s) motivations.

Karen sets a new World Record for bewildering chutzpah, and social etiquette breaking shidduch (match-making), and Polanski sets a new WR for bottles of Ice Wine consumed in a single afternoon when she discovers Karen’s scheme.

Which girl would not dream of being swept up by a valiant knight from her childhood fairy-tales, and with an equally enthusiastic and affectionate shield maiden for a pleasant bonus? Besides, are there any better alternatives for our poor girl? ~ Karen.

…One merciful day you’ll stop being right… ~ Polanski.

Out of Context? This gif from Buffy the Vampire Slayer happens:
YARN | Funny how the earth never opens up and swallows you when you want it to. | Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) - S01E04 Drama | Video gifs by quotes | 0f864ce1 | 紗

If you do want context, this is the conversation that happens. Hathor is the one who wants to be swallowed by the earth.

Fabian: Now ain’t you just gorgeous :wink:
Hathor: Please never say that again.
Fabian: Aw, why not?
Hathor (dying from embarrassment): Because in your next life you’re my mother.
Fabian: . . . Awesome. Hear that, Aiyana? I get to be a hot chick :smiley:
Aiyana: Oh my Gods.

this is from salt on my marrow//salt cold (title is still under revision) which was intended to be an ONC entry (2023 i think) —

the female lead waits at an abandoned bus stop on a discontinued route. she’s thinking back to the stories her mother would tell her about midnight buses and once-upon-a-wish destinations.
