Playing Supernatural Catch-Up
I won't get to post tonight, because I'll be at a friend's late, mainlining Supernatural season 4 episodes ( Read more... ) -
DA Fic Recs Updated
A friend who wants to try fanfic asked me for some recs, and I sat down today to select a few. As a result, I've got about four million browser tabs open, my entire fanvid collection playing on repeat, a sore ass, and a horrible fear that I will somehow do it wrong and wind up turning her off the stuff. What if our tastes happen not to intersect, ( Read more... ) -
I have so much to say . . .
. . . that my awareness of the time and effort involved in untangling and sorting it into some sort of coherence keeps me from saying much of anything at all. Like, seriously, I just spent twelve minutes staring through my monitor while trying to think of how to say what I want to say about saying what I need to say. As usual, I got nowhere ( Read more... ) -
Fruit abuse made my day
The flimsy plastic bags you find on rolls in produce departments are NOT designed to hold five grapefruit. Trust me on this. Grapefruit all over the floor ( Read more... ) -
Radial Symmetry
To help modulate the post-NaNoWriMo blues I've experienced each December, I signed up for two writing challenges. I got my assignment for the first--a BtVS gift exchange--today, and it is so wide open that I feel sort of floundery about it. Which is maybe a little hypocritical considering how stifled I feel when given too narrow a set of criteria ( Read more... ) -
Fic rec: Spn RPS meets Anne of Green Gables
I'm filled with giddy delight by chash's desecration of Anne of Green Gables with J2 slash, of all things. Jared TOTALLY WORKS as the gawky, dreamy orphan, and I'm finding the AU takes on classic Green Gables situations both clever and fun. Currently tagged as The Going to Hell Verse, because apparently, that's what happens when you porn Green GablesHrm ( Read more... ) -
Would you pay to read original serial fiction?
Holly Lisle is talking seriously about publishing an ezine for SFF prose fiction in serial form.
Current Model for the Zine
Earlier Version with further feedbackI'm really excited about the idea, because, seriously, to me it'd be like being able to buy only the Space channel, instead of having to get the whole cable package with its endless ( Read more... ) -
Day 7: 3119 words
A tertiary characters who was to serve as one of the token adversaries for the heroine suddenly became a love interest for another main character. (Maybe "lust interest" is a better term.) Apparently, the dilettante has a thing for the duty-bound intense type. Or maybe I do, since this fellow is owning the better part of my attention just now. -
Day 6: 747 words
I screwed around yesterday. Token words courtesy of waiting for the other players to show up for last night's game. -
Day 5: 2059 words, freakishly inspired
So, somewhere along the highway to Montreal some weeks back, I flashed a cool initial concept montage of my heroine while listening to Afro Celt Soundsystem. Now it seems to have become her soundtrack. Experimentation has shown that her scenes just flow out while the ACSS is playing. I suppose there are worse soundtracks to be stuck with as ( Read more... )
