dribble

[sophinisba]

Has the dribble fad passed? Am I too late? Is that so two days ago?

You remember, ismenin's new form:
You begin with 10 lines, the first line contains ten words, and you work down each line using a word less in each line until you have only one word left.

I did a Faculty dribble, because I seem to have a thing lately about heroes with bloody noses.


He’ll have to go back out there in a minute.
He’ll have to go on and face another day.
Pretend it doesn’t hurt, and just keep moving.
But Zeke will see, and everyone else.
They’ll all know it happened again.
And Casey didn’t fight back.
Time to come out.
Catch the blood.
Hide it.
Fuck.

ETA: Please also check out layne67's companion dribble from Zeke's POV.

Wow, very Faculty. Poor Casey! *gives him an icebag*

[sophinisba]

It's embarrassing how many times I've watched that scene. *gives him a hug*

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I love it. You capture him so beautifully in these few, perfect words.

[sophinisba]

I love drabbles and variations for that, having to pick the words carefully. Thank you.

Poor Casey!

You dribble well!

[sophinisba]

Thank you! Casey will be ok in the end!

[absolutefiction.livejournal.com]

[sophinisba]

Thanks. I'm so happy to see you here.

*blushes*

thank you!

i saw up there in your comment to mariole that it's embarrassing how many times you've watched that scene and i have to commiserate. *is also guitly of the rewind and slo mo and rewind and slo mo...*

[sophinisba]

I think that, the first time I watched it, this was the moment when really I knew it was going to be my kind of movie.

[absolutefiction.livejournal.com]

me too! i couldn't believe it! and another scene i can't believe how much i love is when he is being berated by his parents in his room!

i love when he says,'that's government property dad' when he's dad is ripping up his text book or library book or sommat!

[sophinisba]

Rawr, that's the same scene where they confiscate his porn. I love that but I think even more I love the bit where his parents are at the school with him and his mom is trying to get him to agree to see a shrink.

hee hee my moment came when he was rammed into the flagpole

[sophinisba]

So many special moments for us somewhat disturbed fangirls. What a movie.

Very Casey! Good job.

[sophinisba]

Thank you!

[lisabellex.livejournal.com]

Aw, poor Casey! Lovely dribble, hon!

:D

[sophinisba]

Thanks and welcome, Lisa and Zeke. I hope this dribble thing catches on.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

This is beautiful Sophie. I love it. And I have a thing for heroes with bloody noses too. Or bloody anything ;)

[sophinisba]

Tell you a secret, Frodo's bloody nose in that other fic was inspired by Casey's. Thanks for reading, sweetie.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I err, *clears throat* did a companion piece to this dribble. I hope that's okay with you?

Hee, I hope a Zeke would turn up in that other fic ;D

[sophinisba]

Oooh, that's wonderful, so exciting! Put it up!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's up.

*bites nail nervously*

btw, the link to your dribble doesn't seem to be working. I'm using hubby's laptop now and will fix that up once I got to my own computer.

[sophinisba]

Eee, I always bite my nails after putting up fic, often find it's good if I'm not even around a computer for the next few hours so I can't keep checking for comments. But I loved yours, and I love the whole idea of collaborative fic. Thank you.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Link's fixed *pats own computer*

I'm making myself scarce until midnight because like you said so I can't keep checking for comments

The kids want to watvh the movie Goals.

Oh when oh when would I get to see GSH :((

[sophinisba]

I'm about to log off and go to bed myself.

And I'm pretty sure I'll be waiting for the DVD of GSH, sadly. I'm really glad I got a chance to see EII in the theater though.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Good night!

I'm really off now :)

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Har. It's been awhile since I've seen Faculty, lol. But that last word? Sums it all up v. nicely...

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Always. :-D

I've always found that the things I think people will surely like are the things that get the "meh" reaction from people and the things that I've whipped out spur of the moment or don't take too seriously get a lot more comments...;-)

[sophinisba]

Argh I don't feel like writing it again. But yeah, this is a surprise and a lot of fun, hearing from a few people who don't usually comment here. I may be sad later when the fics I care about don't get as much of a reaction, but for now it's nice. :-)

[sophinisba]

Er, I just wrote a really long (self-centered) comment here and I messed up the html so I erased it, I and thought I'd copied the text so I could paste it again, but no. Hmph. I assume it got e-mailed to you. Thanks for reading despite the lack of Frodo!

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

D'oh! I just answered it! ;-)

[sophinisba]

Hee hee that's like that other time when we were talking about The Persion Boy. My own fault.
