Let it be known that Pippa has grown Too Big for her Britches and put together a list of story commandments.

With help.

And laughter.

What do you think?

I love them all - and LOLed at the last one about Fred.

I completely agree that all the babies MUST look like John!

Aww but I also want a daughter who looks like Margaret so maybe John can fall in love twice!

Oh, this is so amazing and fun, Pippkin. Love them all, but especially that one that all the babies must look like John. Yes, definitely!

In five years or so, there's going to be some innocent new fan wondering why so many N&S stories talk about cactuses. Was it cut out of the US version, they'll wonder. Maybe there's a deleted scene...?

I'm amused all over again. I'm bumping them up for fun.

Because it's still hilarious.

And because we "break" some of the rules.

I mean, we save the cactus for Autumn. I wonder if there will be one in her current fic.

People die or have died...or well...just read "Break"... it was a story that asked to be written, as was mentioned.

There generally seems to be miscommunication -- that's part of the angst.

Anyway, that's what I've remembered offhand so far.

And maybe it's only the opinion of one or a few or most. Who knows.

Also, because it's fun to resurrect an old post. Maybe it'll create discussion and amusement. I think I might go mucking around for others when it's quiet here.

EDIT: WAIT: it didn't show up! You'll have to back to the beginning to find them.

Haha, well, actually Cactus has already been in my current fic, in a little cameo... (It's subtle)
