there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

You gotta see this house. It's not for sale, but it's for rent for $8,500mo. (minimum 12 mo. lease) 4bds, 3ba, 3,100sqft, cats OK.

This is the entrance foyer.

Built in the 1970s, the house's style is called rare "hippie baroque," which I've never heard of.

The kitchen is to the left of the entrance and the living room is to the right. Notice the ceiling.

This looks like fabric.

I've never seen such unusual lighting.

The kitchen is unlike any that I've ever seen. It's low and very angular.

It has these intricately carved windows with stained glass throughout the house.

To the left of the kitchen there's this sitting area with a single chair and a ladder to a loft.

Then, there's a piano and a picnic-like dining table.

There's a doorway to a room here, but they have cushions to sit on, in the doorway.

Without the cushions, there's a step up through another doorway.

This looks like a music room with a built-in place to lounge or sit. Plus, there's another ladder to a loft.

A large bath has a sculptural round shower with mosaic tiles.

Matching tub. There's something in the tub, like a separation, and are those stones in a trough?

Then, past the sinks there's a toilet room.

Here's a home office. Looks like a fancy bar on the wall.

And, this is the entrance to another bath.

An angled toilet.

There's a bedroom at the top of these stairs.

And, bedroom #2 has a strategically placed mirror.

The bedrooms have access to this upper deck.

Curving brick wall in a Zen garden.

Beautiful waterfall.

This is the pool.

The house looks like a village.

Huge house. They don't give the property dimensions.
