fanvid share
I've been thinking a lot about vidding lately, because first, the truly excellent @cee_m has been showing me a lot of them, and second, because I've been thinking about how they fit into some research a labmate is doing into collaboration. And of course, there's the DMCA exemption stuff coming up again ( Read more... ) -

Live from Hothlanta: I should be writing.
Reading my Livejournal friends-list again is giving me a major guilt complex over the state of my fiction writing. Maybe I should concentrate on short stories for a while instead of The Long-Anticipated And Still Not Close to Finished novel, because then I'd feel like I'm actually accomplishing/finishing something ( Read more... ) -
It was a good weekend in Azeroth.
So technically my new school semester started today. (Campus was closed - and tomorrow as well - due to the "snowpocalypse" in Atlanta but that isn't relevant to this story.)

I did not sign up for Yuletide this year, though I have done it once in the past (during law school, which was probably why I wrote a very meta story about copyright). But around Christmas when all of the prompts submitted opened up for anyone who wanted to write additional stories, I was having fun just reading through them... and saw that ( Read more... ) -
Getting Tenure
I'm playing a bit of World of Warcraft for the first time in a while, lured back by the shiny of the expansion after taking a break to study for the bar. Though I don't have the time to play enough to be a serious WoW-er, it is still a lot of fun and I enjoy it a lot more than most console games - probably because of the social aspect. And I've ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide Recs
I have spent some time in the past few days reading Yuletide stories - mostly from recommendations from other people since I don't have the energy to search through too much myself. But of what I've read, these were my favorites. And they're all very accessible in that they're based on things that most people are familiar with - very "un-fanction ( Read more... ) -
Crossposting
It has come to my attention that it is a simple task to cross-post between Livejournal and Dreamwidth. Largely because it seems like much of the OTW crowd is on DW, I'm going to try that out and see how it goes. Even if my friends-list there is empty ( Read more... ) -
