I continue to think that this is teeeerrible, but it's been well-established previously that I have a low fucking opinion of my TCLS fic, so. >> As requested previously, it's why Calla's name is Calla.

I have come to a conclusion, I think. I am going to keep writing things this month, as I can, but I am not going to even think about revising them. I simply don't have mental power to waste, sigh. XD;;; When I've turned in all my applications, then I'll worry about it.

Another Poe Family Adventure story, from...two weeks ago now? Yeah. I've been trying to figure out who Mamie is exactly, since I think I have a dece handle on Sukey. Little Ed is next, and I have an idea for looking at him, so. >>

This is dedicated to pitseleh_smith, who is the only reason these stories even exist, and whose birthday it is right now, in both our time zones. Insert ooh-ing here. :O I would posit this as some kind of in-honour-of-the-day business, but the writing quality is too low to be put forth as a "gift" of any kind. XD So let's just call it coincidence and remind me that my notes are ALWAYS TOO FUCKING LONG WTF.

( There had been other houses-- )

...In my defense, you try writing anything worthwhile on a bus full of choirmates. DX
