I think I saw this advertised in game_thrones yesterday, though it took me until now to get off my butt and sign up for it.

We Love the Women That the Fandom Hates is what it sounds like: a celebration of female characters who come in for their undue share of fannish vitriol ( Read more... )

First things first: meltedpeep opened up commissions a few days ago to help cover the vet bill for their cat Bugsy, who's been very sick lately. (odifen is also opening up commissions here, and ryoup is auctioning off gorgeous handmade jewelry.) I asked her for a full-length portrait of Khari du'Arath, who you may remember if you're acquainted with a certain project. ( Read more... )

So I have been absolute shit about actually reading lately ( Read more... )

So there are these things called the Pearl Awards for Hunger Games fic and art that exceeds expectations! (Which makes me think of OWLs. Oh, fannish roots.) And Mith and I got nominated for a bunch of them! So, um, thank you times a million to the people who nominated us. I'm thrilled that the stuff we wrote spoke to people that much, and I'm ( Read more... )

When I haven't been busy with Real Life Shenanigans (which I will talk about in a separate post, because there have been many of them), I've been digging through the Yuletide archive in search of fic. I feel like I've barely made a dent in it, but I've already uncovered some real gems.

Merry Christmas and/or happy holiday season to all of you! I hope you're all recovering from any food-induced comas from last night.

So I don't know what the hell happened this ( Read more... )

So on Twitter, I have been banging on about a YA series called The Hunger Games for a while now ( Read more... )

Hi, guys. I know I feel like I start off nearly every post with "sorry for not posting more" these days, but real life's been taking up more of my time and energy than it has in a while. And I'm okay with that! I'm doing really cool stuff! And I've managed to stop guilt-tripping myself about all the fannish things I'm not doing, because heck, ( Read more... )

first) If you live within commuting distance of NYC, can sing, and like Inception, check this post out! Mith is looking for volunteers for a Very Special Project.

second) I want prompts again, for like the first time in months! However, there is a twist: pick one (or more) of my OCs, and give me a one-sentence-ish prompt, preferably scenario-based ( Read more... )

i) So I assume you guys all stalk halcyonjazz already (and if not, seriously why don't you,) but in case you haven't seen her latest art dump, she drew England and Bess from the latest chapter of The Worldsmith BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING LIKE THAT. Oh god, just looking at it breaks my heart in the best way ever, aaaaaaaaaaah.

ii) You remember the amazing ( Read more... )
