Craziness at the store today. I shall just touch upon it briefly, because even thinking about it exhausts me ( Read more... )

So, I was in a silly mood, and do not work tomorrow, and was wondering what Sammy and Vek are up to (crap, have I not introduced Sammy and Vek yet? Oh dear). So here's this: happy belated birthday, J ( Read more... )

Rough day at work. Enough about that, though: it's Simon's birthday! Happy birthday! (Actually, it could be the 9th. It was the 9th for a year or two. I had to relocate it, though, when I realized that I would never remember it unless it fell right after mine. Hence: the 19th.)

Well, I guess this means I'll have to post more, at least for the next two months, eh? Not a problem at the moment, actually: I need to talk about AFP, and I have a story and possibly some pics to post. So, that'll be good for a few days, at least ( Read more... )

I have returned, briefly! And I have come bearing stories! Well, just the one, actually. But anyway.

I've been working on my new series more, lately, which means I'm pretty much all-consumed by thoughts of medieval peasantry and poisonous plants and fantasy-novel hijinks to appropriate in a satirical manner. At some point I really do plan to give ( Read more... )

I really would update more often, but there is very little drama in my life right now.  I'm still writing my stories (Martin's backstory is currently at 49 pages.  Single-spaced. Ridiculous), but since nothing is getting wrapped up, there's nothing to post.

Last week I created a backstory for a character of starfall2 's, and I was pretty pleased with it, ( Read more... )

Title: A Necessary Question
Characters: Simon, Cade
Rating: innocuous
Summary: Cade has a question.  Eventually, Cade's going to grow up and figure it out.
Notes: Just a little double drabble, written because I had Simon's last line stuck in my head, and the scene fit so obviously around it.  I was also messing with punctuation, as a precursor to ( Read more... )

So, I was inadvertently reading a blog post the other day (located at http://thenewadventuresofjuliette.blogspot.com/2009/07/fat-is-fantasist-issue.html, which I am not going to link to, because frankly I want nothing to do with her) ( Read more... )
