From Westword Books FB - it’s my book-birthday ( Read more... )

So this has been going around on Tumblr, but for those of you that aren't on Tumblr, I thought I'd give you a heads up. This website, ebooks-trees, has been using a bot to randomly and rapidly steal fics archived at AO3 and other places. Without permission. And then making money off those fics through the advertisements they sell there and, ( Read more... )

So I am feeling better than last week. My back pain is down to a 5 from the 8 to 10 it was the last time I posted. My PT said my muscles were really banded back there. The biggest issue now is how bad I want more pain pills. For a few nights there I got to experience what it felt like to be pain free again and it was glorious and I want to be ( Read more... )

So, I had a few dreams recently in which I was a teenager, which is pretty normal for me. Idk what that says about me, that I often dream myself as a teenager, but whatever ( Read more... )

So I managed to watch the Tigers’ final game of the regular season against the Miami Marlins and I just wanted to say ‘hats off’ to the Marlins’ Henderson Alvarez for pitching a no-hitter in the game on Sunday. CONGRATS, ALVAREZ! It’s a rare thing, the no-hitter - only 3 pitched in the entirety of the MLB this season and only 6 in the history of ( Read more... )

So, Wednesday I wrote a scene in a fic and then half of the next scene. And when I went back, the earlier scene was gone. Just…gone. I don’t know what happened to it! My sister tried to help me recover it, but it was a no-go. It was such a good scene too, the banter was spot-on. It was only 9pm and I had planned on writing until 10, but I was ( Read more... )

I read 7 books last year - (I almost forgot the Buffy book!). Well, okay, 7 if you count the comic set The Nephew loaned me, which I do because I walked away with a killer headache afterwards, so I'm counting it! Now I remember why I stopped reading comics so heavily.

I think I talked about all of these while I was reading them actually. ( Some minor spoilers. )

CONGRATULATIONS to the San Francisco Giants on winning the National League Championship!!! I was hoping they would take it. I have a bit of a soft spot for the Giants. I blame one of the old West Wing authors I used to read, who a few years back was writing fanfic about Posey, Zito and Lincecum. It made me kind of love those guys. Though since ( Read more... )

Last night’s Hawaii Five-O was like a fanfic come to life. Normally, with most shows, I would be like, “Are you seriously trolling fandom looking for ideas for your show?” but let’s face it, logic and realism are not things I look for on H5O. In fact, the more fanfic tropes they fit into an episode, the more I like it. Also, the more Kono kicks ( Read more... )

It is Anti-Bullying Month. I wanted to write something from "The Faculty" fandom for this - a) I dipped like one toe in that fandom years back, b) I have been having the urge to write in that fandom again recently, and c) Casey is a good character to use for an anti-bullying fic - his ability to know which battles to fight (say for instance ones ( Read more... )
