I am fairly easy to please in most ways. Getting a story all my own would just make me ridiculously happy. The only way I'm picky is that I tend to find a trend of "same old same old" in my chosen teeny fandoms. I hope that doesn't throw you off too much.

Down to specifics.

( dear writer )

I missed you guys. I am back, though today I am very busy away from the computer, as predicted. I also have 2 weeks worth of disappointing reports to do for artistsway_lj. And my yearly goals assessments will be late too. And I have a fic to type for a challenge that won't make it by the deadline, but darnit, I wrote it already.I just couldn't get it typed and ( Read more... )

I know the world is a different place than it was when George RR Martin was a comic fan and budding writer, but the fact that he started publishing in fanzines first just gives me heart.

On Friday I got paid, so I bought six months on Dreamwidth (for both the icons and the ability to cross post to more than one other journal) for my main journal (There is something silly geeky like me that likes making 1 post that posts in three journalling sites and gets ported over to Facebook if it's public.

If I am going to stick with this experiment, I do think I need to get a paid account for more icons. Linden Grove is doing okay with that, so far ( Read more... )

My writing journal was granted 2 invitation codes for Dreamwidth, but I want to offer one to a particular person first. If it is not wanted there, I'll offer it here too.

This is also testing the basic cross-posting feature. I'm just curious how it works.

My other question is: who wants to be on my please-look-at-my-writing filter? I'm not usually ( Read more... )

Apparently I'm going to see a matinée of Iron Man by myself this afternoon so that we can try to catch the new Hulk movie together tomorrow night. Superheros, wow. One that I don't even know. I'm a bit excited about the new Hulk film actually now that I've read a little about it.

AND, is there anyone who'd be willing to read through my latest
