Writing is hard...

[elisi]

We often complain about how awkward writing is... and how much bad!fic there is out there. But thanks to my marvellous flist, I bring you two examples of PUBLISHED writing that will make you want to scrub out your brain...

This is the most purple writing you'll ever read. No words of introduction can do it justice, trust me!

This on the other hand deserves some sort of bad sex award... (Srsly, there's stuff in there that Stoney would be proud to put in one of her posts. *is scarred*)

I promise to make an actual, sensible, post one of these days, but RL has been full of poorly children, and the next chapter of MI has been misbehaving. *kicks it*

Oh! Just remembered! If you need something GOOD (and hysterically funny) to read after those atrocities, I can recommend Angelus' Diary by st_salieri. It slayed me in the best way possible! :D

What? "Her face had the fragrance of a gibbous moon." ? ?? Bwahaha! Not only is it purple prose but it is purple prose that doesn't even make sense.

Thank you Elisi for these specimens.

I hope the children are better now.

Did you see the bit about her neck being like bottles of wine, covered with dew, and otters? My mind still boggles!

Thank you Elisi for these specimens.
I felt I had an obligation to share. :)

I hope the children are better now.
Yes they are, thank you. And my cold is going too!
