So last weekend Oz Comic Con was on. I didn't volunteer, and in the end I didn't even go on the Sunday. The one day I had off from work. But to make myself sadder that I was SO near to John Barrowman I walked past it to get to a DFO sale for Queens Birthday weekend, to try and find some coats and jackets in my size for winter (using gift vouchers I ( Read more... )

So last night I ended up in Lie to Me fanfiction again. *cough*mysemiindecentpairings*cough* Also dashed a little with Life fic! Oh wow, how I missed thee Charlie Crews ( Read more... )

So, does anyone want to tell me why they did not point out to me that Nancy from Trauma (Anastasia Griffiths) is in Once Upon a Time?? Even if its only a small arc (I have not looked it up on Imdb, yet I kind of want to be surprised if its a long/short stay).

I know I'd probably not have gone and downloaded it, but it would have made me even more ( Read more... )

I attended a book launch for the first time tonight. And it was brilliant. At least in my eyes.

It was the launch of Isobelle Carmody's book 'Metro Winds'
A collection of six short stories. For ages 17+ Isobelle did add.

So many things I may do this week. Authors galore. Isobelle Carmody may come to within 1-2km of my house today. She says its a confirmed event (at the library) though I've only seen the other library a few suburbs down advertising her, so I'll go early and check things out. :P

I didn't really check here yesterday so this popped up a lot apparently ( Read more... )

Happy birthday oh fair one! tammypierce. (dec 13)

Let's just take a moment to appreciate and bow down and worship the lovely Goddess Writer that Ms Pierce is.

I don't care if you don't like any of her newer series, or the Melting Stones (probably my least favourite if I had to choose) and the Will of the Empress. Or you have some horrid devotion to the Tortall ( Read more... )

Okay first off a couple of things.

~I'm reposting an extract of Jackie French's (the Australian children's author) November Newsletter, so in case there's anyone out there that can or wants to help.

Surprisingly my life has been moving along without LJ. I know this shocks you but please don't pass out on my behalf. Take a seat *gestures*

I got knocked back for a job with Tennis Australia, and secured a volunteer job with Melbourne Writer's Festival for next month. So if you drop by please be nice to the volunteer staff you see- it might be me!

I ( Read more... )

I don't think I even ended up putting last year's Supanova post up! So I'll do a quick re-hash of that here (since it was my first full convention experience and my first Supanova one to compare it to this years) and link to the photo's album.

Last year~
I did do a small immediate ramble on the Supanova Sunday when I got home (its over here) but I'll ( Read more... )

A more serious and broader ranging post now. Not that competitions aren't serious. In fact I've already gotten a few entries oh friends of mine. I wasn't too sure if anyone would want to play. But they do. :) *seals lips on that matter for now*

Tumblrs. Hm. I am not thinking of getting one. And if I was I would not spend my days on it, because it is ( Read more... )
