I'm a bit late this year and realize this is mostly for my own record-keeping, but for those who might be curious or are here to read in particular fandoms, here is my 2009 summary of fics by fandom. Links are also included; most of them are to posts at my LJ, but there are a few that go elsewhere where you can leave a comment should you be so ( Read more... )

Hello all! For any following this saga from the initial submission, to the overhaul, to the major revision, and at last the 7/10 rewrite, I sent a quick email to Storm just to see if there was still a timeline for this. And there is. But… it'll be a while. Here are her comments, FYI:

I think realistically it will be the new year when I get back to M ( Read more... )

Without even as much fanfare as I emailed the M+M revision, I've just emailed the rewrite to Storm. I had three trusty friends read it, and two of them provided both overwhelming positive responses and a couple of suggestions. The third reader is an absolute love who is a great cheerleader, and those are marvelous to have as well. I had a long ( Read more... )

Since I had an entire ball of that yummy green heathered wool yarn from the baby sweater, I decided to knit myself a scarf. Seventeen years I've been knitting, and this is my first-ever scarf. Yes, I do tend to start off with fairly difficult things when trying something new, why do you ask?

She'd started making a random noise in low gears as of Wednesday afternoon, and I was freaking out. I was trying to be analytical about it, noting when it happened, if I was in gear, which gear, etc. This morning I went to the repair shop that's literally two blocks down the road and recommended by my housemate ( Read more... )

( I really don't mind these kinds of insights, but I really *do* mind when they occur at 2:30 a.m. when I'm unable to sleep. )

Not quite as dramatic as mailing an actual tome, but thanks to heartofoshun's very thorough copy edit and commentary, I've incorporated her suggestions and notes, and emailed Maelstrom and Mage to Storm.

I'm now going to treat myself to lunch at McDonald's before going into work. A Filet o Fish and french fries. LOL.

So in my current active writing notebook, starting at the front is my weasley_fest fic. I don't want it to be long, I really don't. But I think if the two characters in question simply get together, it's not as interesting as it could be. So still a ways to go with it. Starting at the back of the notebook was my most recent Slave Breakers story, and then the ( Read more... )

I just got off the phone with heartofoshun!! There's almost nothing more wonderful than getting to talk writing and fic with someone you so admire and are grateful to. She willingly stepped in to beta M+M as elfscribe5 went off to the mesas for the summer, and during our phone conversation she brought up some general ideas that won't take whole new sections to convey ( Read more... )

I have a dentist's appointment at 8:30 this morning. :sigh: My second ever beginnings of a cavity, so I'm going to get it sealed off. Not a morning person, but on the other hand, I did go to bed at a decent hour. And I might get some things done before work.

When vulgarweed indicated she was participating in the lgbtfest and chose Ents as her creature within ( Read more... )
