Yuletide finished and uploaded! Didn't hit 10k, but still more words than usual. Would have finished it last weekend except there was an emergency with a Sugar Plump Fairy in need of a wand that necessitated going through papers from 20 years ago. Yes. Anywho, yay, done!

I did 1.3k words today! A whole month before the thing is even due! This is literally unprecedented! It's just the first scene done so far, but yay! If I can keep this up, I might get a 10k story out of my Yuletide!!! AMBITION~! We'll see ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was cleaning up my closet a bit and decided it was finally time to do something about The Folders of Fanfic. You see, I am old enough that I have paper fanzines and printouts of my favorite fanfics (of 15+ years ago). LOTS of print outs. I possibly killed a few trees there. About five huge 3-ring binders worth of fanfic, plus some ( Read more... )

So, I was digging through piles of old notebooks from college (to find one relatively un-used), when I stumbled across one filled with old fanfic, original stories, and webcomic layouts (in between all of the notes... look, writing stories totally LOOKS like taking copious notes in boring classes, so, um, I did ( Read more... )

Why are there so few stories where Donna Noble replaces Pepper Potts as Tony Stark's PA when Pepper gets promoted to CEO? I mean, seriously?
