Fic: Recipe for a Contented Reader (PG, H/D)

[birdsofshore]

This was my hd_owlpost gift for the lovely nenne. I wasn't going to claim my owl post offerings initially, but then I thought of this one today and decided I want to have it on my journal. It's not really a fic, but I don't know what to call it! It's a daft sort of meta / humour piece dressed up as a recipe.

Also, now reveals are past, I can give proper acknowledgement to icmezzo, who very kindly betaed this and my other owl post fic. Thank you again, my dear! It was lovely to have your guidance and support. ♥

I had no idea you had written this! When I saw the reveals I was ,"I should have known!". It was one of my favourite pieces of the fest. I love it.

[birdsofshore]

Aw, thank you very much! I was pleased with it, too, once ICM had finished helping me with it!

This was all you. <333

[birdsofshore]

LOL, it so wasn't, but I am in no way complaining :D

I missed this when it posted (my owlpost reading was sadly hit-and-miss) but I just gave it a read now and loved the heck out of it. :D

[birdsofshore]

Ah, thanks so much for trying it! I'm really happy you liked it.

[firethesound]

Thanks for trying it? You say that like I won't automatically read anything with your name attached to it. :P

[birdsofshore]

OK, now I'm blushing. :DD

Ohmygosh that was so adorable and wonderfully accurate. :DDD Totally made me smile and laugh. I'm so glad you posted a pointer to this!

[birdsofshore]

Thanks, shelly! I'm very pleased you enjoyed it.

I loved it when I read it (and I still do of course!) It's great, thank you! :)

[birdsofshore]

Thanks, Sophie, I'm chuffed that you like it!

I just left a comment about it on Owlpost, but what I wanted to say here was that the more I read of your writing the more I love it and the more I want to read.

I particularly love/envy your wonderful ability to write with such humour and make it seem so effortless (I'm sure it isn't really, although if it is then I'm doubly envious)

[birdsofshore]

You are really extremely kind. With this piece I definitely put work into adding the humour. However I usually have the fortunate / unfortunate problem of not being able to write seriously. If I accidentally write anything with a more emotional tone I usually have to be stopped from clanging a load of jokes into it. My beta just read my remix fic and I was quite taken aback when she said how funny it was. I had been aiming for something quite different XDD

I'm so glad that you like what I write, and thank you for letting me know. <3

That was so beautiful :D

Now I wonder what other goodies I miss :)

[birdsofshore]

I'm really glad you liked it!

I feel I missed quite a few things at owl post, as well!

That was just brilliant you know. Simply brilliant. :D
