I've been cringing at my mpregbb fic, and so I found the perfect way to light an acetylene blowtorch under my heels ( Read more... )

I've been poking at a few WsIP lately: I misplaced the small grey Moleskine notebook that had the YnM/Torchwood: Miracle Day fic in it, but I found the purple Moleskine that has the two YnM/Kushiel's Legacy fics in them. I'm writing those somewhat backwards, as they seem to be forming the last two bits of a trio started with "What Price Glory?" and ( Read more... )

Now I just have to copy-paste all the fragments together, though tomboy_typist has suggested that I do the post-modern thing and leave it in fragments. I said I'd think about it, then I almost decided "Naaah...".

Lo and behold, a post that is not a signal boost or fanfic, though there will be discussions thereof ( Read more... )

I've been getting a LOT of weird spam lately (and I may have to activate the thing that would require people to respond to a CAPTCHA widget before posting a comment: sorry, people, I didn't disable non-friend commenting because I cross-post fics to various comms). Most of it has been the usual Trying To Sell Stuff postings, but then I get these two ( Read more... )

Currently have the first chapter almost finished, plus bits of the middle and the entire final scene. I've tossed 2,150 words onto a document posted on Google Docs. It needs a lot of polishing, but I'm in the throw-everything-on-the-page draft stage. Not sure if I'll be releasing chapters as I go along, or if I'll draft it all at once and edit it ( Read more... )

From my mom, no less ( Read more... )
