Three dollars and some change

The lovely ligeia_bm filled in some of the details on the issues with Pomme de Sang here. The site's back up, they are changing hosts, and the site mods are just being amazing on this. Give them a big round of applause, folks!

And to celebrate, I think I'll go write some Anita/Jason angsty Inevitable smut. Well, soon. I need to get some sleep first.

Like I've been saying all day, ignorance is not a virtue.

( cut for listyness )

I need to look into some more of these books, to see what they're all about, and I'll probably read some more of these too.

(Except for American Psycho. That books creeps me out to no end)

Scrubs wins at life for having a character named...

Traci Lords appeared on the Gilmore Girls.

My life is complete.

(background) Traci Lords was "Jill" in Profiler season two, Jack's little serial killer girlfriend. Profiler was my first fandom, and was quite possibly the one in which I was most active... if you're following how into Anita Blake I was/am, that's saying something. (/background)

Hey kids. Happy Saturday. Just a few quick notes:

1: To the anonymous poster who gave me an LJ-gift, thanks so much! I return the sentiment and wish you the best of the holiday season!

2. If you've recently friended me and want me to friend you back, drop by and say hi. Also, I'm kind of curious as to how you found me in the first place, so if you want to share.... :)

2. Does anyone have any idea what I can get my mother for Christmas?

3. I'm not sure what I want to write today. Maybe I'll go through and fix things. Or respond to all those comments I need to get to. Or watch some DVDs. It's boring here in Vancouver right now.

One week and an hour to vacation!

Dude, there's so many of you! Seriously, everyone, thanks so much for your support and encouragement when it comes to my writing, and to putting up with the inevitable delays when it comes to work and life. I consider myself lucky to have such wonderful readers :)

So, anyone have anything to want to ask? Talk about? Comment away.

Just a quick hello to pimp this over in mhal_fan:

A writing challenge from needlessnoodles, ficcing on my fics and based on Halloween. I'm explaining it badly, so go check it out. I want to play to, but I already have Halloween fic in the works (Well, the rest of Inevitable takes place on the two days surrounding Halloween).

In RL new:
-I am off to spend the day with my parents and take them out for a joint birthday dinner.
- The Apophysis flame fractal generator is so cool. I've been making these all morning. ( Cut for bigness )


Fic tomorrow.

Write me a letter! Stolen from empressvesica

I would build a _______ just for you. If I could sing you any song it would be _________. We could __________ under the stars.

Love,
_______________

(P.S. ______________.)

Oh, who am I kidding? I have no fic for today. I spent the morning hungover (sort of) and replying to Balancing Act 4 comments on LJ (I've given up replying to comments on TTH and Pomme de Sang because then I'd never get anything done) and writing some of a new mystery fic, and then I went shopping and ended up cooking for four hours while watching SGA episodes then reading SGA fanfic by the excellent ltlj. Now I've decided to just accept it and give up for the night.

So really, this post has no point except to say "Ooh, shiny!" I was going to do some fic recs, but I'm too lazy. Go read ltlj's stuff though, because she's a god.

You all may have been noticing that none of the WIPs have been updated recently. There are two reasons for this:

1. Shiny new obsession: Oh, Stargate Atlantis. How you occupy the 5% of my brain devoted to fanfic/fandom (the other 95% is doing the important stuff, like regulating breathing and bad posture and wondering how they got the caramel in the caramilk bar). I'm fully aware that this will soon pass, or at least sublimate into the mess of other fandoms and, more importantly, fanfic in my head.

And yes, that noise you heard was me sighing at the inevitability of me starting a rather long epic story in SGA. It's probably going to be a shippy fic and I get to address that age-old question: So, were there any criminal Ancients before they all got Ascendy? Yeah, it's going to be really cheesy, but whatever. I don't plan to start this right now; I still have to get the plot down. And I have to ensure that I don't write the whole damned thing in present tense.

2. I'm stuck midway through not one, not two, but three boring chapters (Magnolia, Balancing Act, Inevitable), and I have to admit my enthusiasm for writing anything longer than 1,000 words has waned. I'm not in a rut: I know how the stories are going to go and all that. It's the typing that's getting to me. Maybe a re-read of the stories is in order.

Long story short (TOO LATE) things are puttering along nicely. So, all fics (including the ficlette fiasco stories) will come when they come :)

Oh, also I'm putting my SGA fics up on Wraithbait here.
