Well, I'm back :o) No idea when/if I'll be writing/posting the next chapter, but at least this one's done - and boy, I rarely had as much trouble getting words down as this. I could see the end like the end of a tunnel, but it was slooooowww. But it's complete now!

Posting this vignette again because I accidentally deleted it the other day - *facepalm* - and also because, wonder of wonders, I recently got unstuck on the 5th chapter and I'll be posting it here and on Dreamwidth presently! The way I'm stuck on the 6th, it's likely to be very, very long in coming... But I haven't lost hope :o ( Read more... )

I have the awful impression that I deleted the entry before today's, the 4th chapter of Between the Mountains and the Plains. Which means I deleted debriswoman's comment and my reply to it. ...Which goes to show how unused I've become to this site and how much I should hang around there again. In the meantime...

I really have to give myself a swift kick in the trousers and post here - and Dreamwidth - from time to time. C'est vrai, y a pas que Tumblr dans la vie ( Read more... )

As it turns out, I can't cross-post from DW or even just publish this snippet here because the post is too large :( I guess 10,000 words is too much for a LJ post. Meh.

Back with the second snippet! It's longer than the first - I think each one is longer than the previous one - and a little more serious. Hope you like it!

I say I'd come back with a story, didn't I? I just hope the cross-posting thing with LJ works this time. While I did draw a lot in 2016, I published no story at all (not even a drabble) and only tweaked existing WIPs. Yet another thing I'll have to work on this year :o)

This is the first of four (so far) vignettes I wrote in late 2015. The tone is ( Read more... )

Well, I shouldn't make resolutions :-/ Here I am, a year after I swore I'd be around more, finally posting something. I'm sorry.

That said, when I do post something (and I will), I'll cross-post it on my mirror Dreamwidth account, belphegor1982.dreamwidth.org, which I created mainly for backup now that the LJ servers have moved to Russia. Not that ( Read more... )

Happy new year, everybody! One of my "good resolutions" (is it something you say in English, too?) is posting a little more here, as well. As far as I'm concerned, 2015 will go down as a pretty crappy year, so let's make 2016 just a little bit better despite the string of untimely deaths this January ( Read more... )

I promised I'd post again when I have more stuff to post, so here I am :o)

A few random expressions. I drew Peppone thinking of a scene in a story called "A Poacher's Penance" ("In piedi e seduti", in Italian, meaning "Standing and Sitting"), but I'm not saying why he has that second expression. Spoilers ;) (on DA here)
