The long holiday weekend is nearly over -- the last of my family is gone, the turkey has been reduced to scraps and frozen cubes of stock, and even on my third cup of coffee my brain is loggy enough that I'm switching between four werp tabs getting nothing done on any. That sounds like as good an excuse as any for a meme (first seen from [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks but now 'sploded over my f-list like a dropped dish of cranberry sauce).

Tell me about a story I haven’t written, and I’ll give you one sentence from that story.

The one about the sentient cherry blossoms.

(I can't remember now whether you decided to tell it in verse or prose.)

Ah, so you did go with prose! Don't suppose you still have the haiku (or was in tanka?) version around as well?

The one with your protag on his pilgrimage to Kyoto, when a quake hits--he falls--he wakes up in Heian Japan, and shortly discovers the real meaning behind certain illusive phrases in the poetry: that everybody can switch gender at will.

(oh my gosh though, coming from a classical Japanese student can this PLEASE be a real fact)

LOL, yeah: [livejournal.com profile] amanen said, "OMG listen to this prompt from [livejournal.com profile] sartorias" and then read it out, and I said, "Let me guess, it was for [livejournal.com profile] lnhammer, right?

(excellent prompt indeed!)

The one with the girl who could commune with jellyfish, but only when her health was getting worse.

I'd like to hear any quotes from The Antimatter Chronicles

I'd like a line from 'The Origami Giraffes' from your collection of short stories, "Haiku Menagerie". Because I'm demented, and stuff.

This story is clearly not about one of your origami giraffes. Yours stands faded, but still haughty, on my computer eight years after its folding.

It's a great story, nonetheless.

Do you remember a story about a boy who freed a Kitsune from the warlord's trap?

That's the one. :)

"Comes a Train of Little Ladies" (Gilbert and Sullivan) considered as a Buddhist tract?
