Fic: let's do this.

[livejournal.com profile] anxietygrrl mentioned over the Twitter Highway how she's attempting thirty drabbles in thirty day. "Hay!" says I, "I need to get back into creative activities! Surely this is the way!"

So here is my testimony (and solidifying it as A Thing, [livejournal.com profile] anxietygrrl) - I shall try and write thirty full drabbles (fics under 150 words) in thirty full days. I have two hours a day of Pure Plottin' Time and a million plot bunnies, so shouldn't be so hard, right?

He was face-down in a file, sketching out details of an unsub half a country away when he ran into her with a force that sent all the paper and photos in his hands flying across the floor.


"Oh, gosh, I'm so - "
"No, I wasn't looking, and - "


She was - and Spencer didn't think or say it often - beautiful. Blonde hair and a crooked smile, he barely could stutter out a sentence excusing her and implicating him when she handed him back his file and brushed a hand over his coat.


It seemed like a sweet, odd gesture, and Spencer would think of it later - her head bowed as her and her crinkled eyes passed him by.


He'd think of it, too, when reaching for his security pass to get back inside the BAU, and, like a crooked smile, it was no longer there.

oh! spencer!

a drabble a day? it's not hard. i mean, i'm the princess of procrastination (i'll get round to queen, maybe tomorrow), and i've done ten since friday, over here. come join in the 2000 comment fun! (last time i checked, we were only up to 350, but 2000 sounds better.) why yes, i am shamelessly pimping, why do you ask?

i like the drabble a day idea. keep it up!

It seems to be going okay so far - well, two is better than nothing, right?

Oooh, I shall have to demand a drabble from you!

I thought the comeuppance was going to be them broadcasting that bit straight to camera "I'm in the fear business" and thought that will never work so I'm glad ... wait. DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST HOST OF TODAY TONIGHT? SHE FLIPPED OUT FIVE SECONDS BEFORE THEY WENT ON AIR ONE NIGHT AND WAS TAKEN AWAY IN AN AMBULANCE OMG. XD
I totally forgot about that till now!

Are you taking drabble requests? Because I just saw the episode of iCarly where Sam and Freddie are each other's first kiss, and I don't even know if Sam/Freddie is your think, but I just. Would not be opposed, is all I'm saying.

You have inspired me to take requests!

I do like a bit of Sam/Freddie, so I will ponder it tomorrow. ;)
