The Tarantiniest Birthday of All
Originally published at Lise Fracalossi. You can comment here or there.
Monday was my (35th) birthday. Hooray?
In any case, I found myself watching Django Unchained (2012) this weekend, and followed it up with a chaser of Inglourious Basterds (2009). It started just as “let’s put on a movie to watch with my dad” (who was visiting this weekend) but I ( Read more... ) -
Creative people say no; women aren't supposed to
Posted to the blog, too, but cross-posting seems b0rked right now.
I read "Creative People Say No" the other day and I've been thinking about it ever since ( Read more... ) -
Two exciting things too long for Twitter
You may have heard me talking about these on Twitter, but I realized I had more to say. Because don't I always?

Why speeling maters
Warning: I'm going to write about spelling and grammar, which virtually guarantees that I'm going to mangle some word or another. Aside from the title, naturally, which is purposefully mangled.On my work computer, IT has installed Symantec Endpoint Protection as antivirus software. Fair enough; I don't want to think too much about this stuff when I ( Read more... ) -
In Which I Contemplate a Gentleman Bastards Pirate LARP

So, Intercon P’s theme is Pirates.
I do like me some pirates, and have at times considered writing a pirate-themed media (or historical) mashup game. I think playing Devil to Pay sated my urge for this, but I was thinking… I could use pirates in a fantasy setting.
And then, ( Read more... ) -

The Intercalm before the Interstorm (also, Barbara Stanwyck love)
Originally published at Lise Fracalossi. You can comment here or there.
Intercon O is coming up this weekend! It’s like LARPer Christmas!… wait, no, that’s the day after Halloween.
Nevertheless, it’s big, and I have a lot of prep to get done, for games I’m running, games I’m playing, and stuff I’m doing at pre-con.
Here, have a to-do list:

The Little Dutch Boy (a very bad fanfic)
If someone had asked me on Friday, "gee, Lise, do you think you'll spend an hour of your weekend writing a hilariously bad smutfic with historical figures?" I probably would have said no. But as it happens, a friend of mine had just such a need. I initially declined, thinking I couldn't possibly write something that was both smutty and funny in the ( Read more... ) -
Pluses and minuses, February 18, 2015
Originally published at Lise Fracalossi. You can comment here or there.
- Winter is seriously depressing me. We’ve gotten more than six feet in just the past month, and it looks like Snowpiercer outside my window. (Regrettably, I don’t even get Chris Evans as a consolation prize).
- As I’ve posted elsewhere, snow canceled my trip to Boskone. Poop.

34 Things Lise is No Longer Allowed to Do in ESO
- I will not sing “Blue Entoloma” to the tune of “Smooth Operator” whenever I come across said plant.
- Nor will I tell my husband to “wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute” when I come across cotton
- Same with “Flax! Ah-aaaa! Savior of the Universe!”
- Ditto “Hey Jute.”
- I will not refer to trickster god Rajhin as the Dickster God, even if he is.
