So I may or might not have written something hoping that there would be a Horror fest for Merlin this year, so imagine my disappointment when there wasn't one to be found (that I know of anyway).  The idea followed me around Ireland, but I didn't get to write it until I got home, so imagine how frustrated I was, not having anything to write on ( Read more... )

It's come to my attention, mostly through sheer dumb luck, that I haven't posted an update of any kind in a while.  Why didn't anyone tell me?

My absence from LJ can be traced back to a number of reasons, not excluding, sorry, too lazy and yeah, in a minute.  Mostly, though, I've been in a low-simmering HULK SMASH anger setting that is in no way ( Read more... )

I am thrilled to pimp the return of the Merlin HORROR fest, once again run by fuckyeah.  If you want to prompt an idea for a fic, if you want to write your own prompt or a prompt from the list, or if you want to sit, glued to your screen in a dark room with a bowl of popcorn in your lap, freaked the fuck out when Halloween comes around, this is the fest ( Read more... )

The claiming post for the Merlin_horror prompts is up!  There are some great prompts available for the taking and writing!

/shamelessly encourages everyone to pick all the prompts just so that I don't pick them all myself

I saw this a little while ago, and it made me grin like an idiot, because it's just gorgeously done.  fuckyeah made a fanfic cover for All the Dead Are Here, my submission for the 2012 merlin_horror fest.

Go take a look at it here and bask in its awesomeness!

And this is a pretty big public service announcement that deserves its own post:  merlin_horror has begun posting today, opening with mushroomtale's completely amazing piece of art that is making me want to write fic for it.

Her artwork always has that effect on me.  You have no idea how much.

If you're not following merlin_horror, and you're a horror fan, why aren't you?  And if you're ( Read more... )

A Public Service Announcement:
Always page number your fics before printing them.  ALWAYS.  Because you never know when you might drop them down a flight of stairs, have to climb down that flight of stairs, and track down every single piece of paper, please God before your coworkers start coming in and inadvertently find the page where Arthur is ( Read more... )

Ummm... I know a few people offered their help with British details, and other people have offered to beta, but I'm wondering if anyone is willing to do both a beta and a Brit-pick on my merlin_horror fic?

It's a prompt fest, and, well, you all know how I am when it comes to prompt fests and writing short.  My fic is going to fall in the ballpark of 50K.  I have ( Read more... )
