So a ton of stuff is going on right now. Job, home, vacation, all coming together within the span of about a month. Add to that the fact that I (foolishly) signed up for the Narnia Fic Exchange. This was a bad decision on my part. I hope my recipient is happy, but I feel bad that I didn't write the best story I could have: there just wasn't ( Read more... )

OK, take FOUR. This looks like it'll work, but it's so fucking predictable of me. Lesson: do no more fic exchanges or challenges, it's just too damned stressful. I had all sorts of ideas, but none of them made a STORY.

Anyway, once I got it down, I cranked through about 80% of it. Gotta write the last bit, and find a beta...

Hello, dear NFE writer!

I hope you're not horrified by getting me!

I really am not too hard to please: I like plot, and worldbuilding, and complications. I love AUs, the spin-off-canon type rather than the coffeeshop type. I also love crossovers, if done thoughtfully. (My favorite crossover of all time is probably Vanzetti's Blessings ( Read more... )

The Idle Woman reviews one of my very favorite novels: Rosemary Sutcliff's Sword at Sunset (which is the book that forever ruined all other Arthurian adaptations for me).

I wish I had access to this at work.

Speaking of work, Corporette provides an overview to developing a capsule wardrobe for the office. I have to admit, I rather like the ( Read more... )

So I kind of dropped the ball on posting about the Narnia Fic Exchange. But I'm going to make up for it now, I promise!

First, I got a great gift! Bitter Work by Elizabeth Culmer is a very intriguing AU set after the end of LWW, with an excellent diverse cast and a cool concept. I'd love to see what happens after this.

As for myself, I wrote ( Read more... )

Hey, folks!

So the Narnia Fic Exchange 2014 just opened, and you all should check it out. There are over two dozen stories posted, including stories about the Pevensies, and Polly and Digory, and Eustace, and Bacchus. There are AUs, and there's some porn, and some awesome world-building, and even a few crossovers ( Read more... )

Basically the world sucks and I just want to sit at home with a dog in my lap and eat ice cream. Sigh.

Well, this is encouraging. Sigh.

I enjoyed this review of The Expendables 3, though. The movie borrows so liberally from other action films that it starts to feel at times a bit like a BuzzFeed listicle.

Oh, wonderful: The Toast has an ( Read more... )

Hello wonderful NFE writer! Thank you for signing up and I apologize if you read my prompt and went, "Argh ( Read more... )

So I got a little inspired by the NFE prompts, and sat down after dinner tonight (leaving the dishes in the sink, bad me) to do a little writing. It's been about a year since I wrote any fiction, I think, so this is basically just for me ( Read more... )

Well, the brief hot weather blitz is over: we're back to fog again. My sinuses appreciate it, but I'm kind of sad, because we never really got a real summer. This is the first year since I moved to the Bay Area that I never needed to get the fan out of storage.

On the other hand, great news for the East Bay!One of the hazards of Kickstarter ( Read more... )
