I realized I forgot to mention that I'd actually finished my Winterfest fic by the free day deadline. Yay! So the entire thing is here:

Title: Fairytale of Chicago, Part One, Part Two (Labyrinth/Dresden Files)
Rating: G
Summary: Chicago's only professional wizard has landed an invitation to the most prestigious event in the Underground: the ( Read more... )

I'm almost done with my Winterfestfic, which is nice since my deadline was... Sunday. *cough* Like everything else I write, it ended up being waaaaaay too long and by the time I realized that oh crap, the story I planned is actually a novella and I need to trim it back a little a lot, it was too late. So I panicked, tried to brainstorm for another ( Read more... )

Happy new year, everyone! Between Christmas, social obligations and trying to write my Winterfest fic, I fell off the radar again. I'm about 3,500 words in, with ten more days to go until my assigned date. I don't think I'm going to make it ( Read more... )

Sometimes people send me Labyrinth and Bowie related PMs. I try to help and I'm usually not too bad with the Bowie ones but I am no good at identifying mystery fics. These are the details the reader recalls:

"Jareth has been pining after Sarah for years, allowing his kingdom to die. Sarah travels back to the Labyrinth and befriends a fairy, ( Read more... )

Like an idiot, I managed to miss the fact that Winterfest dates were assigned weeks ago. My only excuse is being distracted by Thanksgiving. So I've got from now until January 11th to write something winter/holiday related and all my relevant plot bunnies are rather sickly and lethargic ( Read more... )

If my responsibilities and health allowed it, I'd spend all winter in a blanket fort, hooked up to an IV of mashed potatoes and gravy. They do not allow this, so here I am. Weather forecast says we might get more snow for Thanksgiving, which isn't typical. Sympathies to anyone in upstate New York, who's getting it far, far worse ( Read more... )

I can't blame Gmail entirely, but their newish inbox system where they sort your e-mails into different categories doesn't really help when it comes to collecting FFnet notifications and then forgetting about them. I think the oldest review I hadn't replied to was from January, yikes. It's my fault. I feel guilty for not updating, and then getting ( Read more... )

I didn't mean to fall off the radar for so long, but I guess I did. There's no particular reason why. Life hasn't been busier than usual, or happier than usual, or sadder than usual. It's relatively uneventful, which is fine but not terribly interesting ( Read more... )

I've consulted my calendar and *gasps* it's July 2nd and yet there is no new one word challenge up yet at labyfic. And if you'll recall what happened last month, you know what that means.

It means that some wicked, depraved LJ user has gone and committed a heinous act of Jargledom on tallulah99's personal journal. Quelle horreur!

And it happened so quickly, too. ( Read more... )

Fandom is abuzz with the news about Amazon's Kindle Worlds, which lets you publish and earn royalties for certain fandoms. So far, the list of permitted fandoms is short: Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Vampire Diaries. This feels weird on so many levels, really. People already license media tie-ins of selected properties (like all the ( Read more... )
