Time for some self promotion

May 27, 2009 03:58

Because I haven't done it in at least a week. No good, eh? *whistles*

First. Writing! Because I have been spending all my writing efforts on Epic Unnamed Story (131 pages and counting...), my Stories of Arda account has been looking bare. So I put stuff up on it.

My assorted short stories and drabbles (nothing longer than 1000 words). A couple ( Read more... )

internet, happiness, writing, fanfic, friends, artwork

Enjoy your time with Peri An!

Your drawing is lovely, and what great news about the commission. You're really on your way.

Fic, yay! :)

Thanks! I am really excited :)

*blushing but raising awesomesauce hand... and then shaking off said goo* LOL... I don't mind you mentioning me by name. I'm just glad I'm a help and not just a pain! Beta'ing can be a wince-y process, can't it? I just did my own wincing yesterday when I got back feedback from my beta on a story. Ouch but yes, she was right, so hit the delete key I did. In fact, we both "ouched". LOL

RL and filling out MEFA forms this week has kept me from hardly anything in the way of beta'ing or writing (except fixing said canon glitch pointed out by my beta) but I promise, I will get to chapter 3 soon!

BTW, love the drawing!

Oh, it can be. I'm still worried about some parts venturing too deeply into guilty-pleasure zone... but that doesn't come until much later. Hopefully it won't end up too bad XD Oh, fan fiction, how you have corrupted me.

Heh, I'm still waiting for an email reply concerning MEFA, mostly trying to get an open account. I have a couple stories that I want to nominate that haven't been nominated, and I'm still debating about throwing absolutely all sense of self-dignity I possess and nominating myself. It's an interesting inner battle. I might write it in Dramatic Play form, right with that essay on that religious LOTR pic...

Take your time on the chapter :)

I'm still debating about throwing absolutely all sense of self-dignity I possess and nominating myself.

LOL... I feel the same way about nominating my own stories. I just can't bring myself to do it, but there's one that hasn't been that I kind of hope will get nominated. But then I think, good grief, you've got four noms; what are you, a glutton for ego stroking? LOL It's a sticky thing, MEFA noms.

And hey, I've nothing against the occasional venture into the guilty pleasure zone. *grin*

Oh, beautiful! I envy your skill, muchly. My colored pencils skills are...not working out--I'm find charcoal too fun. :P

ainu_laire May 27 2009, 18:16:12 UTC

Ooh. charcoal is a lot of fun! Colored pencils are great, though- pick them up again XD

Do you post your work online?

inzilbeth_liz May 27 2009, 14:51:18 UTC

Great drawing, Laire, and I'll check out your stories later. You MUST tell us about Del Toro though!

ainu_laire May 27 2009, 18:21:27 UTC

Of course! I'm bringing my camera as well, so hopefully they'll allow photography and there will be pictures :)

Thanks XD

His new book is coming out next week, and he is coming to LA for a booksigning. So my friend and I are waking up ridiculously early, going to her school, and when she's done with that driving the rest of the way to LA to wait for 6 or so hours until the signing XD Cannot wait!
