You guys! I am so excited right now, and happy, and feeling super fannish! :)

A lovely gal named litra, over on AO3, asked a few weeks ago if she could podfic my Supernatural/Numb3rs crossover Family Business. I told her, yes, of course, and I would look forward to her take on one of my own favorite works ( Read more... )

Specifically, a friend of mine has begun recording a series of podcasts. The first one is now online, and myself and my husband mrizh are the guests being interviewed!

There will be a couple of different types of podcasts going up on the Banter Podcast Network, and I wanted to make sure you all heard about it. "Hollywood on Hollywood" will be a series ( Read more... )

So in 2011 I made a short, casual list of books I really wanted to get read that year. They got read. So in 2012, I made a list of ten and posted it here. If you check that post, you'll see that I only got 8 read, but that's because I started late in the year ( Read more... )

For anyone on my flist (or otherwise) who calls herself both a geek and a Christian--or perhaps one or the other--here is a post to delight or intrigue you. It seriously made my day, by giving me a fantastic analogy for my approach to my faith.

At the beginning of this year, I made a list of ten books I wanted to be sure to read in 2012. I said I would try to review each of them for you guys. Well, I'm slightly behind, but since I'm not quite done with numbers 2 and 3 of the list, I thought I'd go ahead and review the first one I read.

Way back when, kalquessa wrote a piece of fan poetry, a lovely four-stanza lullaby that she imagined a hunter might sing to her child around the Samuel Colt era.

She called it Cradle Song for a Hunter's Child.

And now we have a beautiful, singable tune for it, thanks to chibifrieza.

Okay, I cannot do this ficathon this year, but I would love to watch some of you guys finish some of your outstanding incomplete fics! :)

Remember all those poor, neglected plot bunnies that have been starving from lack of attention, because all those ficathons kept on having higher priority? The stories you wish you could finish, if only you ( Read more... )

Last year, I made a short, casual list of a few books that I'd been putting off and really wanted to read. And I stuck to it and read them during the first few months of 2011. I like this productivity, and the insights it gave me, and I want to start doing this every year ( Read more... )

I've done a fic-year-in-review for the past several years. I was going to use the same format this time, but when I went back through the "my fics" tag for 2011, I realized I'd posted a grand total of three fics. That's way down from my usual 10+. I've worked on three or four more, but they're not finished, and a couple of them never will be ( Read more... )

So I was watching an episode of Chuck with one of my roommates today, and I kept thinking that his sister Ellie Bartowski Woodcomb (Sarah Lancaster) reminded me of someone else.

It took me most of the episode to realize that she reminds me of Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen), the wife of Peter Burke on White CollarBoth are smart, loving, happily ( Read more... )
