Yes, I'm butting in here to post, because it's evening of the 4th here, and there is no post! So join me in the boasting progress reports and encouragement for this day's creative work!

500 words which may never see the light of day. I got this wild idea while on my walk and got home and wrote it up, but I poked a great big hole in it while I was writing it, so I put it away, Maybe something will occur to me how to use it, but I doubt it. Well, it was fun while it lasted:)

Here's the next part of Solo on the ladder:

Solo hurled his body against the ladder and managed to wedge his free knee onto the third rung down, stopping his fall. Regaining his grip on the top of the railing, he hung there, half in and half out of the ladder, catching his breath, and thanked his lucky stars for escaping what would have been an excruciating blow to his manhood. He wished they hadn’t taken his underwear. Not that it would have provided any protection, he thought resentfully, but still, a man deserved a little dignity.

I like the slow reveal of Napoleon's state of dress, or undress. If anyone could manage to escape nude, on injured feet, and with his dignity, it would be Napoleon (or Illya). Any THRUSH would look totally ridiculous.

Very relieved by this phrase, managed to wedge his free knee onto the third rung down, stopping his fall. ;-)

Falling is bad.

Having fun is good! :)

Poor guy! Having to escape naked!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I just wish more of the wild ideas would work out:)

[ideealisme.livejournal.com]

Oo-er! Maybe they didn't realise he would escape?

I'm wondering now will he be in the nude in a built up area...

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

He's going to be on the move soon!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Oh man, the poor guy's still naked!

Maybe you can use the idea in another story?

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Actually, that idea can be the seed for another story altogether.
Yay, another wip:)

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Great inner monologue there, well mixed in with the action.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Thank you:)

[kerravonsen]

Exciting!
Though I am puzzled by the phrase half in and half out of the ladder because I don't think of ladders as something one can be inside of.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

He's straddling the rung of the ladder - the foot that slipped has gone off the rung and the leg is down on the wrong side.
I struggled with the description here, and welcome suggestions!

[kerravonsen]

Well, you could say "straddling the rung of the ladder"...

You're having a good time with Napoleon aren't you ;) I can see the poor man clinging precariously on that ladder.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

The rooftop scene was the first one I wrote. From the content, you can see why: all fun:)

He won't be on the ladder much longer, whew.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

There must be a way of getting round the hole, there always is!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

So far, no:( Parts of the story morphed into something else, and now they don't hang together, so I've just got to go with the new direction, I'm realizing, with regret.

[el-staplador.livejournal.com]

I hate it when that happens - here's hoping it will somehow rise again!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed!
