CD requested a Tiny fic from me. This was very difficult, as I've never really felt like I had a handle on the Owl's character, other than for comic relief. She graciously beta-read for me and made some terrific suggestions which added a lot to the storyline. I hope the end result meets her approval. Fish Out of Water

I love this TJ. And you even brought in some comic relief with the use of Macaroni and cheese. I could hear the men complaining, and little Johnny's support of everything Tiny does cannot be wrong. I was laughing all through this part. See, isn't it a good thing Tiny knows all about food?

Well, I figured, what does Tiny know about? Boats Flying Food I brought in all three areas of his expertise!!!! Glad you liked it, CD!

BTW, I never said thank you for this TJ. A story dedicated just to me from you. *Cloud peers around and rubs her hands together.* Now I have had you and FB write me a story, and Springie draw me a picture. I wonder what schemes I will have to use to convince Ebony or Amy to write me a story. *Cloud wanders off ploting.*

OMG...TJ, I am amazed at how quickly you can put together a good fic! I loved this! The mac n cheese makes the whole story for me! I was cracking up! congrats on writing a great Owlie fic!

Uh.... GOOD fic is relative... I'd say this was pretty mediocre... But CD liked it, and that's the important thing. Essentially, it was short. That's why it was fast. I've actually written two short fics in a row! Can you believe it????

I liked it too, its very true to Tiny. I read it on fanfiction net, I put my `Tinys Journey` up there too

TJ, if you think this fic was only mediocre, then my fics are only adequate. I think you are putting yourself down TJ. This IS a good fic. It may not be up to your usual brilliance, but I think you have already said, you do much better with longer fics where you can go indepth into the characters and story line. For a character that you never got into his head before, you did very well. I would say, if you wrote more stories from the Owl's point of view you might do better, but that might be pushing things too much.

I'm running to keep up with all the fics you have done of late TJ! And an Owl one at that...

Yeah... that's asking too much right now.... But I'll see what comes up in the future. I feel good about it though. He was the only Birdie I hadn't done a story about, and I had been wanting to fill that hole for awhile.

I read that one! I liked it a lot, so I linked it for CD in the Owl Love thread, because I thought it was really good.

Well, just two short ones... still waiting for those DVDs to finish Invasion...

Tengu, that was your story? TJ posted a link to it in another thread. I have just finished reading it. I enjoyed it. It gave me new insights into Tiny's character, and confirmed some ideas I had.

TJ I think you pegged Tiny to a "T"! (no pun intended) It great even though you consider it mediocre..and wow...insuch short time..I'm impressed! *wandering off to read Tengu's fic*

Thanks, Kimi! I have to give CD credit here. As our local Owl expert she helped give me insight into Tiny's character, and her comments improved the story a lot.

Cloud blushes Thank you TJ! When it had such a good plot, I did not have to do much to help.

Now who's being modest? BTW, I should point out that CD sent me an excerpt from a fic she's working on and it's terrific! I'm now eager to see more! So... Back to CD....

I will get back to writing after my parents have left. They wanted to come down and visit my "new" house. The contractor has finished all his work. Yesaterday I signed the paperwork so the company could be payed by my insurance company. I now have a two year waranty on all the work. Now I need to go out and purchase the book cases that were destroyed in the flood and I can start moving boxes into the basement again. I also need to decide if I have the money to purchase plastic boxes so I can store my other materials in the basement.

Wow for just a fic on the Owl... that really was great TJ. Caqn't wait to read more! Now maybe I'll have to look up Tenju's fic...

Sorry, GG, this one's finished. Book is closed. CD, we got our bookshelves at Ikea. Reasonably priced and nice-looking. Is there one near you? I grew up relatively close to the one in North York.

There is one in Vaughan I might head over too. I am more likely to go to Zellers or Canadian Tire, or one of the other big box stores. I am going to start using this. We have been discussing Halloween in class today.

IMHO, this smilie is pretty Halloweeny too!

Yes he is scary. May be not as scary as this guy. here is another one that showed up.

Are those enough Halloween smilies for you????

Yes! But I was just watching for them to come up with the quick picks! Nothing this time unless I use and say he is scared of all your smilies.

Well, he certainly looks petrified with fear!!!! I got this one on the randoms... and this guy too .

These two are not scary but they are what some of my children say they will be dressing up as. Well Harry Potter anyways.

I didn't know Harry had a beard!!!!!! My kids are dressing up as . Both of them.

Well maybe that is Dumbledor. It was as close to a wizard as I could find. <-------- Reminds me of the Mythbusters eps. where they used things like this to see if a bridge would collapse.

Tj this was a great fic! So nice to see Tiny as the hero of the day, it seems to happens so rarely

Glad you liked it, FB! ITA, Tiny can certainly be the hero more often, but since normally in my fics I'm concentrating on other characters, he doesn't get to be. I suspect that's the case in most fics.
