All the cool kids are doing it...
So, as of today I have a shiny new laptop but am limping along on the old one while the new one sets itself up, ‘cause I'm just that pathetic.
My computer geek (everyone should marry one of these if they aren't one themselves, btw) determined that making it tolerable would cost more than buying one that is tolerable to start with.

Wanna tell me what you really think?
Because I'd love to hear what people actually think of my writing... Don't get me wrong, I like compliments just fine. But I would also like to improve, so if you've got thoughts on where I go wrong in my writing and have been too polite (or too frightened) to mention it, or if you have nitpicks you didn't think were worth mentioning, please ( ( Read more... ) -
New Fic: P is for Parenting (PG)
In honour of Gen Fic Day, and because I suffer from a surprising amount of masochism, I signed up for sg-fignewton's Janet Alphabet Soup. Yay for 26 new fics about Janet! Go check them out!
P is for Parenting
Season 4. PG: Bit of naughty language. Thanks to amaranthtraces for the as always excellent beta.“You’re going to be late!” Janet calls from the front door ( Read more... ) -
Because I'm a procrastinating masochist...
Okay. I somewhat stupidly signed up for the Janet Alphabet Soup, despite my muse being incredibly uncooperative, my son making me run my butt off, and my brain having kissed sanity goodbye several weeks ago. In an effort to get the brain/muse going again (I’ve given up on my butt [in more ways than one]), I’m going to do a writing meme, for which ( Read more... ) -
Stargate Fan Awards
I meant to post this back when I was notified, but I forgot. Oops.
Just wanted to thank the lovely person/people who felt my fics were good enough to nominate for the SGFAs. Four of them in all, plus one I co-wrote with amaranthtraces. Wow. I'm concerned for your mental health flattered ( Read more... ) -
That POV meme
A few of my flist have done a POV meme where you count the number of times you’ve used each character's POV in your fics. I can’t seem to find an example to steal right now, so I’ll just wing it.
( POV break-down. Er, the ones I write, I mean. Not my own. Much. ) -
Letter to Environment Canada, Excuses, and a Writing Meme
Letter to Environment Canada: You promised me 1 cm of snow today. I'm currently seeing at least 6 inches, all of which I have to somehow get off my driveway and over the snowbanks that are already taller than I am. And I'm pretty damn tall. You and Mother Nature both suck. That is all.
Excuses: Okay, so back on January 1st I resolved to have ( Read more... ) -
A half-assed resolution
Happy New Year everyone!
Thrae's resolution:
Finish two WiPs by the end of January. Specifically, my gen outsider perspective fic and my absolutely-no-redeeming-features S/D smut piece.
There. Now I'm accountable. Feel free to mock me incessantly if I don't come through. Also, feel free to make your own writing resolutions.
