So I'ma post the story I wrote for that here. It will also go on the backs of my business cards, in rotation with the other two. I've decided I don't like the title much, so I'm excising that.

And, go:

Everyone loses the race against Death sometime, but I wouldn't go without a fight. I raised my sword, while he stared down at me in what might ( Read more... )

You know, it don't ever go smooth, does it ( Read more... )

So, I'm getting ready for LTUE, as I do, and I suddenly realized around 9pm that, hey, crap, I had no business cards printed out ( Read more... )

How's this?

Working at the firm we've not-so-jokingly nicknamed "Beelzebub's Barristers," I'd never had qualms about getting terrible people out of big trouble. That's what lawyers do, although usually on a smaller, less supernatural, scale than ours ( Read more... )

For I am the Queen of the Drabbles.

Well. Drabbles-and-a-half, anyway. Try this on for size:

My company sends me all over, hunting things that go bump in the night. This job at Lake Tele in the Congo had been simple, for once. I knelt by the lakeshore, washing purple goo off before it stained, when a gigantic ripple surged over my forearms ( Read more... )

This is a hundred and fifty words. Which means, to fit it all, it has to be in size 7 font. Which, UGH.

Back to the drawing board on the drabble. The Hubby had a sort of "eh" reaction to it, and ericjamesstone rightly pointed out that it's really too vague to be effective.

And I tend to agree. Something like this needs to either make the reader laugh, or be a gut-punch. This is neither. It's okay, but it's not greatI used to be the Drabble Queen. I once ( Read more... )

I stole this idea blatently from ericjamesstone. He's got a (brilliant and hilarious) short story on the back of his business cards, and I wanted to do the same thing for mine.

Of course, coming up with an original drabble is tough. So I decided to poke through my old ones and see if I couldn't modify one enough so that it wasn't fandom-specific. And I think ( Read more... )

Well, this is what I do when I'm avoiding writing. I hunt around the internet for a cartoon dragon to use on my newly-designed business cards that I'm going to start handing out at Cons ( Read more... )
