It's another Yuletide! Where DOES the time go. Thank you, Yuletide Author, for agreeing to write a story for me! I am so happy that we matched on one of these obscure little fandoms, and I am super-excited to see what you come up with!

If you look at my request for our matched fandom and decide you'd rather try something different, both Magic Mike ( ( Read more... )

Aaaand, I am posting for the first time since last Yuletide. I AM ALIVE. Grad school is hard! But I promise I am alive. And READY FOR YULETIDE HOORAY. Hello, Yuletide author! You are awesome. I'm sure whatever you write will be great, but if you want some guidelines, here they are!

So, first: general likes and dislikes. I really like stories that ( Read more... )

Hi, internet--so, I wish I could say I've been off Tumblring like all of the cool kids, but really the truth is that I've been writing my dissertation like a big nerd. Dissertations are hard, guys! They take up a lot of your time and energy. But I've got a ridiculous amount of stuff written so far, and so the equally ridiculous amount yet to come ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, internet! As always, I spent New Year's Eve with my oldest friend and his wife, and basically kidnapped their seven-month-old BABY OMG. He is adorable, guys. So, so adorable.

Also, Yuletide happened! I got an awesome, awesome story for L.J. Smith's Dark Visions series, basically exactly what I wanted:

Self-Sustaining Geometric ( Read more... )

Hi, internets--so, I am hoping that maybe some of you, like me, are fans of the fabulous ocotillo_dawn? She's had her really awesome story Book of New Life (books one and two) down for editing for a long time, and while I am currently the LAST person to begrudge anybody taking some time to edit a long story (oh my God, seriously, I will NEVER BE FINISHED EVER ( Read more... )

So - today I did several non-routine things, and I thought I might top off an unusual day by making a post. I know, what. And it has ended up being a post about research - it was going to be about research vs. fiction, but I got caught up in the first half and neglected the second, which is basically metaphorical for my life right now - and for ( Read more... )

Hi, Yuletide author! Hi! I am so happy and grateful that you are here to write a story just for me. I am super excited to read whatever it ends up being, and I hope you have fun with it! Yuletide is a time for joy.

So, obviously, optional details are totally optional. If you are here, though, you are probably looking for my thoughts, and, well, look ( Read more... )

 So as usual, it's been months and months since I last posted; sorry internet, I will try to suck less! Here are some things you might want to know!

--My dissertation proposal is scheduled for Monday. It's going to be fine! But OH GOD. My topic is the best, though. THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

--Iron Man 3 was awwwwwwwwwesome. Banter and h/c and subversion of ( Read more... )

Yuletide authors are revealed! First, let me take a moment to again plug my awesome Magic School Bus story, The Magic School Bus Gets Stage Fright, by r_lee, because it is awesome.

As for me--so, okay, I wrote Kick at the Darkness, which is for the movie Push. (And is 14,700 words, wtf.) The thing about Push is--well. Back a couple of years ago, ( Read more... )

Oh my God, you guys, PERSON OF INTEREST. So, okay. My Person of Interest story is this: I watched half of the pilot like months ago, because I'd seen people squeeing about it and was interested. But PoI is a seriously high-concept show, and--surprise--the first half of the pilot has a lot of exposition-y dialogue. Annnnnnnnnnnd, I knew that Finch/ ( Read more... )
