Topic - Week 25

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It's time to pair up again, and go into another round of INTERSECTIONS!

There are two topics. You write on one of them, and your partner writes the other.

The only criteria being that you can not pick someone that you have already partnered with this season! We have an even number of contestants, so no one should be left out this time!

The topics are:

cesspool
and
closer

You have until Monday, April 30th at 8pm EDT to link your entry back to this thread. Please indicate which entry you are writing and who your partner is, to make it easier on everyone. Thanks!

Good luck to everyone!

A rant about the present state of laptop computers-- *and* a fo'-serious $50 cash prize for the first person who can actually get me CLOSER to my consumer-electronics needs than I've been able to get so far. (http://the-day-setup.livejournal.com/8818.html)

(Offered up in conjunction / cooperation with the marvelous minnesattva, although the cash prize-- should it be won, and I'm not sure that it actually *can* be-- is outta my pocket.)

(...yes, this is for the "CLOSER" topic.)

Who closed the door on Jenny's safe and sheltered past?

Find out from my partner, the always delicious and refreshing LJ User Milk_and_Glass!

Birth is not necessarily destiny, or at least the destiny you'd assume. (http://beldarzfixon.livejournal.com/12403.html)

Inspired by and in cooperation with dblicher, who will post her entry soon.

[tigrkittn.livejournal.com]

I tried to go another way with this... I really tried... but this story just kept jumping up and down yelling, "Me! Pick me!"

I wrote on "Cesspool" (http://tigrkittn.livejournal.com/202126.html) and my fabulous partner porn_this_way wrote another angle on the tale for "Closer".

Duck and cover!

I worked with sarcasmoqueen, who is writing on cesspool. I loved working with her!

[dblicher.livejournal.com]

I wrote (very hurriedly) on "closer," here. (http://dblicher.livejournal.com/6625.html)

If the amazing beldarzfixon (http://bel darzfixon.livejournal.com) hadn't asked me to collaborate, I would have dropped out this week because of Real Life. It's touch-and-go for me right now, but he did inspire me to post this week, so I owe him thanks.

My entry!

We are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy... (http://whirlgig.livejournal.com/7398.html)

I came 'Closer' while xo_kizzy_xo waded into a cesspool

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

A cesspool of a different sort (http://xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com/1176490.html")

Note: For the purpose of this intersection it makes more sense to read my partner whirlgig's entry (http://whirlgig.livejournal.com/7398.html) first, then mine ;)

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

A little fantasy noir for you, with Cesspool (http://lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com/8481.html).

My fabulous partner copyright1983 took the Closer (http://copyright1983.livejournal.com/37791.html) half of the story.
