Guys, Yuletide happened! And I am so happy with my story, I can't even tell you! It's The Magic School Bus Gets Stage Fright, and it's so great. Arnold and Phoebe are getting married, and Carlos and Dorothy Ann, having met for the first time in a while, have to team up with the Friz (and the bus, of course) to help Phoebe with her stage fright! YAY ( Read more... )

 Hi, guys! How about a post? I know, what.

I am still alive, though, and doing Yuletide and all of that, and still - STILL (still!) - working on this giant freaking Star Trek story. The editing process has been insane, because I did some major revamp to the feelings arc, which means I have to REWRITE. EVERY. FUCKING. BIT. of the first 80,000 words ( Read more... )

Hello, dear Yuletide Author. I love you forever, because we have matched on a fandom that I adore! I cannot wait to see what you come up with (although I also want you to have fun with it). Yuletide is a thing of beauty for all.

First and foremost, optional details are optional! But if you are looking for story ideas, look no further. I have asked ( Read more... )

 Kink Bingo starts July 1, guys! And in a desperate attempt to nullify the shame of not getting a bingo last summer (I wrote like 150,000 words during the bingo period, in my defense, though the kink content was admittedly pretty low) I signed up to do a ramp-up post! And now it is posted!

The title is, "Making Fanworks For Kinks That Aren't Yours, ( Read more... )

 HELLO EVERYBODY, long time no see, but I have excuses! First, I have only just now survived my comprehensive exams. They were almost as fun as they sound! Also, I have drafted my extremely giant Trek story! It is in the editing process, and wow, it's sort of a project to edit something that it takes three days just to read.

This is not about any of ( Read more... )

As ever, it has been forever since I posted, but omg I HAVE to share this. Even if it is a little self-...something. But who else to tell how great you are than THE ENTIRE INTERNET?

Anyway, I've been teaching this year, for the first time--in the fall I taught intro Hittite, and this quarter it's been Hittite lit in translation, to 13 undergrads who ( Read more... )

Hello, dear Yuletide writer! I love you already, because you love one of these fandoms just as I do, and frankly, they are pretty weird fandoms. Perhaps even more so when you look at them all together. This year I went with a kids' show, a YA sci-fi movie, a fairly dark fantasy series, and possibly the most fucked-up black-and-white movie ever made ( Read more... )

Hi, everybody, I am just returned from a Trip! To--Warsaw. Yes, really. Every three years, Hittite scholars have a conference Just For Them (as opposed to a general Near East thing, or a general cuneiform studies thing, of which there are a few), and this year it was in Poland. I was so very, very apprehensive beforehand--never been to Poland! ( Read more... )
