Who am I and how did I steal thoughts from your...
I’m Andy, and I am pretty sure I didn’t steal your thoughts, I just talk so much all the time that chance dictates I’ll eventually be saying what people are thinking. :P
But, since this is supposed to be a writing prompt, I guess you could write about your “oh duh, i’m pansexual” moment and submit it too. Hopefully it has less pedophilia than mine did. :)

Conversation with Boyfriend
Me: “I guess I’m just curious as to how I’m attracted to others relates to the general population. I really don’t have sexual fantasies about people I see, and rarely about people I meet. I don’t think ‘gee, I’d like to do that person’ except in extreme cases. I…
Who are you, and how did you steal thoughts from my head? <3

On Why JJ Can No Longer Read Romance Novels
MAN: I am irresistibly physically attracted to that woman. I could hammer nails with my cock! But no! She is a hoooooor and I must resist her evil advances!
WOMAN: Oh golly gee, that man is so brooding and handsome, it makes my nether regions tingle and swoon! But alas, he will never love me for I am the widow of his father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate and carrying his illegitimate issue! I was beaten severely and never once orgasmed while with my previous husband!
MAN: I cannot resist her advances! (to woman) Let us boink.
WOMAN: Yea, verily thus.
(Sexxing ensues.)
MAN: You slept with me! That confirms my theories that you are a pernicious hooooor!
WOMAN: I have been wronged! I shall run away and be inconveniently found out with a shadowy figure who is secretly blackmailing me for utterly contrived reasons but the scene only makes my True Love After One Boinking further believe I am a woman of loose morals. Oh woe!
MAN: JEALOUS RAGE SMASH RAAR. It does not matter that I considered her a hoor before, now I want to take her away from the clutches of that shadowy man!
WOMAN: Sir, I am being blackmailed!
MAN: I do not believe you! But I will stalk you nonetheless and eventually find out that you were speaking the truth because I love you!
WOMAN: Yay!
(Much more sexxing ensues.)
MAN: And now, marriage.
WOMAN: We will live happily ever after!
JJ: (crying) What have I ever done to you, Romance Novel? Why do you beat me so? Why?

edit while writing. It can lead to no good. And often to no story. *sighs* Back to Pretty Tears!
Hey! Isn’t this what I just told you? ::grin::

Okay, so it was funny at the time
Me: Hey, if you ever want to have a brainstorming session to work on plot, let me know. We can throw things at each other.
Dena: [archly] Oh, really?
Me: [pause, blink] Oh. HA! I *meant* ideas, but yeah, now I'm imagining us in head gear...

Fear of Darkness, a short #steampunk paranormal...
The goal was to write a paranormal romance in 3,000 words. Tricky. One day, it will be a novel. Until then, it’s this:
Fear of Darkness
by me, Christine Danse :)=
I.
California, 1894
I crouch on a building where land meets sea, looking down at the ships in harbor. A fog has rolled in from the bay, making them appear ghostly. Their sails are all furled for the night. Only the pennants...

There’s a culture called Steampunk that is dedicated to a revamp of the Victorian age. Typically filled with massive steam powered mechanics and extravagant dirigibles, this classic age is mixed up with fantasy. The Steampunk genre includes not…
Pushing the Bell #1 →
I arrived home an hour late from work on Valentine’s Day to find the door ajar, my wife missing, and a note waiting for me on the mantelpiece. I expected to come home to an angry wife. Instead, I found her gone. With trepidation, I read the note. It simply read, Find me…

randomdaydream asked: That was an awesome blurb. *~*
I think I might have to sign up for that class! I think I'm writing a steampunk once I finish with my space cowboys book. If I can pull it off. Suzanne Lazear is so cool! She was on a steampunk panel at nationals (the room was packed) and rocked socks, er, mechanical socks.
Actually the other day on Twitter, I mentioned to her how...

It IS a gorgeous cover! I've been fangirling over it without even knowing the plot all because of that delicious cover. Congrats on your first release! Understandable that you're nervous, but it's going to be awesome. ^^

Carina Press put the cover of your book 'Island of Icarus' on Facebook awhile ago and I was so excited about it. Still am. M/M Steampunk. *~* Anyway, congrats!

military suicides →
Of course I hear of PTSD in real life, but this article made me wonder: What of fantasy warriors and science fiction soldiers? Would they not return home after war just as damaged in spirit and dysfunctional in society? Would they not, too, stoop with pain?

Telltale
Hello. They call me Telltale. I’ve been walking so long I’ve forgotten the other name, the one my parents called me. I am not sure where I came from, although I’ve memories of a brighter sun, a darker moon, and dull stiff trees that didn’t speak. I am not quite sure where I am going, either, although I have the dim recollection that I was once trying to escape a place to...

Young-old Glasses
I want to craft a pair of young-old glasses. I will put them on to see the yesterday-tomorrow of everyone I meet. The child crying in the candy aisle with red cheeks in the simultaneous suit and tie, solemnly counting the bills in his wallet when his cell phone chimes—another patient has almost leaped through the broken-glass window of his hospital room. And then he is old and tired, corners...

steam cars →
Steam cars and electric cars were in (wider?) use before those with internal combustion engines. I did not know this. Now I do.
I am imagining a world where combustion engines never caught on. Steam and electricity reign.

STATEMENT OF INTENT
This story will have no discernible plot. Like a dream or the immediate, it needn’t have one. It is here and now. It is a fantasy with no point, a distorted circus-mirror reflection of reality that punctuates the emotions and little fears that are usually hidden by the stress-static of everyday life.
This story will have no point, save only to be. Nothing matters; everything has meaning.

More of a bookmark for myself. A huge website containing hundreds of alchemical texts. Research for later. (Much later.)
There’s a story world a-brewing somewhere in the recesses of my mind.

The creature in the sink
There is a creature in our sink. It is the kind that used to live in wells, but we don’t have those here. Instead it lives in the little can attached to the plumbing, where the garbage disposal should be. It eats onion skins and rotten grapes, and once threw up the shredded remains of all the fibrous artichoke leaves I had stuffed down the drain.
I am afraid to put my hand down the drain. The...
