Their situation was desperate indeed
A happy solution, their ultimate need
Slash writers united,
Their optimism ignited
The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis         ~~~~~~~~~Thurgood Marshall

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.    ~~~~~~~~~ Mark Twain

He waited on Jack slowly drowning in beer
Wearin' his best shirt, feeling excitement and fear

Wearin' his best shirt, feeling excitement and fear
Alas, could it be?
His heart filled with glee
When a sputtering truck's engine he did hear!
A companion where none had been expected...

You know, Katie, like to give 'em a happy solution or ending....  :)

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

     Gwyllion:  This particular thread is not a short fanfiction.  If you wish to make them all come out with happy endings, then maybe you
should go and participate in one of those particular threads.
     This is meant to be a certain style of poetry, with rhyme and metre.  A certain amount of syllables and the format is laid out on the
front page. First and second rhyme, then third and fourth, etc.  You can start them out in a cheerful vein, and hope that others carry itforward, but if they dont, you have to answer in kind.  If you choose to start your own, then you can make that a happy one.  But you cant just  change one that is already started to a new direction unless it fits.



     Beautiful mind
