One day. One day I leave without my umbrella, and it has to rain that very day. I should mention that I was slightly more dressed up than usual, because I had been to a wedding. And the water was cold. Brr.

*

As for the wedding itself, it was bizarre. The girl who got married was a classmate of mine - the first in my year to get married. MARRIED. It's positively scary. Soon there'll be other people getting married, and maybe they'll be my friends and ACK MARRIAGE!

I'm a pretty imaginative person, but somehow I *cannot* imagine myself married. Or hell, even in a really serious relationship with, you know, commitment. And I like it this way! *hides under bed*

The guy is cute, though.

On a fannish note, would Elphaba really believe on the concept of soul mates? I mean, given her position on souls and all? Just curious. Because some fanfic authors really seem to think that way.

*Snort* You should post that as a comment the next time you see a story like that. *veg*

By the way, that's such a cute icon!

I should, shouldn't I? I read that, and made some of the weirdest hand/face gestures I've ever made, and pressed the back button. Because dude - WHICH BOOK WERE YOU READING? It also had a very weird Elphaba/Glinda dynamic (in those first few paragraphs that I read) - there's no *way* Elphaba would treat Glinda like that. Even if she's mourning the loss of Fiyero (who, of course, is the said soul mate).

By the way, that's such a cute icon!

I made it. She is so amazing. *sigh*

Actually, that scene has Evil Nurse Brenda in it. And I have a clip of it. Wait.

And one more thing, because that scene demands context. *is sending now*

Are you sure it was the book they were ficcing, and not the musical? Some fantwits are silly enough not to warn, or to say it's one when it's really the other. =)

Nah. It was immediately after Fiyero's death, so it was definitely bookverse. *headdesk*

People like ships more than the characters in them I think.

I understand, but why change the dynamic so that it makes no sense whatsoever? *shakes head*

I feel for you. A year back a friend of mine got engaged, and I was sure I was too young to have classmates getting engaged. *g*

Oh, I'm completely with you, friend. I even spoke of my reticence towards commitment during a FIRST date, lmao.

Elphie and soul mates? BWAHAHA. But you know, I've found a decent amount of good wicked fanfic. Short ones, anyhow. I figured it'd be better to go through all of wicked_fanfic before attempting to brave ff.net

I tried wicked_fanfic, but it's overflowing with sappy Gelphie crap. *sigh*

Check the headers and stay away from anything that mentions the musicalverse, and your results will start getting *much* better. I'll have recs for you soon.

Nah, I think I'll just let you do the work. *eg*

And don't you just hate it when people claim it's both bookverse and musicalverse? WTF? Those are two very different things altogether!

I think what they're doing is choosing whatever elements they like from both, like a buffet dinner. LOL. Theoretically, it could result in interesting fic, but I'm sticking to strict bookverse for now, and that's been a very effective badfic screen so far.

I am slowly going through all the back entries on wicked_fanfic as well as everything labeled as bookverse on ff.net. There's more decent stuff out there than I would have expected (although I suspect my refusal to read anything involving the musicalverse probably has a lot to do with it). When I get finished going through it all, I will list some recs.
