I just spent twenty minutes tearing apart my office, looking for my notes from a meeting from the other day. I couldn't find them. I got frustrated and flopped into my chair, only to look up at my cork board and see that it's pinned up there -- one of two pieces of paper up there. That's it.

*headdesk*

It's just that kind of day today.

At least two people on my friends list, nwhepcat and bellatemple, have already started to post their stories for the Africander ficathon (I'm three posts into my friends list for this morning, so, yeah... likely there's more).

I'm adding these stories to my memories because I don't have time currently to read them. So, feedback will come. Just, not while I'm at work ( Read more... )

I just ponied up the money for the one hundred icons. I am a weak, weak man.

When I read fiction, I tend to read dialogue in the voice of the character. So, for instance, Giles gets an English accent, Xander has a quick SoCal chop, that type of thing ( Read more... )

I feel like such a traitor.

My brother has gotten me involved in Harry Potter fanfic (yes, it's all his fault). That's what I've been doing in my fandom-time the past week, reading these big and long and involved Harry Potter fanfics... and, inevitably, thinking up my own ( Read more... )

I cannot write a story without first knowing how it will end.

This presents a fairly large problem, for I am not a resolution-first brainstormer by nature. The typical HJ story goes through an intricate and, quite frankly, ridiculous gestational period before it reaches a fully-formed state. The rough process is as follows:
