There's been a lot going on in my life which has, one way or another, left very little time or brainspace for writing.

That having been said, I've go a story a hair away from being finished, so watch this space.

An interesting discussion about what counts as "canon", and why Doctor Who doesn't have one

In other news, estoile and I have been working together on something that started out as noodling on a story of hers, and has become OMFG I HAVE TO WRITE THIS of mine.

Stay tuned.

I just bought an album from iTunes in order to get a track that one of my characters loves.

What have YOU done in the service of a story or a character?

Am I really the only person out there writing Dorsai fic? Really??

I mean... I found one person who posted a tiny fragment of a story four years ago and then vanished, but that's it.
