I submitted chapter six of The Phoenix and the Serpent to Schnoogle on Wednesday. I hope it appears soon ( Read more... )

Once I started playing around with this journal's colors, I decided to switch the basic layout as well. I'm debating whether or not to keep this one, as the color of the links isn't customizable, and the bright blue / purple is really annoying me. I like the layout in general, though, so I'll probably keep it, at least for a while ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten around to redoing the colors of my journal to match my userpic. My website (which needs a couple of finishing touches) uses this color theme as well. No, I had no "Gryffindor" thoughts in mind when creating it; I simply made it to match the pic, which I love. (If anything, I would have made it in Ravenclaw colors.) Anyway, I ( Read more... )

Well, I've finally finished chapters 6 & 7 and sent them off to my beta-reader. It's been ages. I thought I had finished it, so it sat around waiting for weeks and weeks as I tried to get in touch with my beta. I finally worked that out a couple of weeks ago, but as I was checking over the chapter one last time, I realized that there was way too ( Read more... )

readerravenclawIt may only be May, but the weather is definitely warm enough for early summer. I'm looking forward to swimming, and relaxing by the pool - but I'm not looking forward to the heat. Oh well. I'll have to try to spend more time outdoors ( Read more... )

As usual, I haven't updated this journal in absolute ages. Chapter Five has been up for a couple of weeks already, and I am almost finished with Chapter Six. I've been thinking about posting my story on Checkmated as well, mostly because the quality of their stories lately have been very good. I'm only hesitating because Checkmated is mostly a R ( Read more... )

I finished up Chapter Five (finally!) and sent it off to be beta-read. Chapter Six is mostly written as well; let's hope it takes me a bit shorter to finish up then Chapter Five took! (Chapter Five was fully written, but then I decided to change a couple of things and add a couple others ( Read more... )
