And don't come out until you're ready to say you're sorry. And mean it. Frankly, for some of you, I don't care if that means you never come out again. Because I am sick to death and all the way into decaying with the way a lot of you have been acting lately. Sure. It's okay to disagree with other fans and their opinions. It's okay to disagree with ( Read more... )

Or so Caitlin R. Kiernan calls this time of year in this part of the continental U.S. of A., since the sunlight is losing strength, the days are getting visibly shorter, the nights are (generally) cooler, and yet the trees are still mostly green. Though around here in my neck of the woods, the leaves on some of the trees have started to show a ( Read more... )

Work yesterday, which kept me busy most of the day. Also, I've been dealing with the usual summer/ragweed season allergies, but last night, I was an utter wreck. I even went so far as to take a dose of Benedryl, which usually knocks me out. One thing that seems to be working is a warm compress with a hot water bottle, thus this morning while it was ( Read more... )

So, between yesterday and early this morning, I am ~2,700 word into the fic I'm writing for arrowbigbang. I'm aiming for 15K, but this is shaping up to be a 10K story. We'll see what happens. Also am pecking away at the reel_torchwood fic, which is slightly slower going, mostly because I'm focusing on the arrowbigbang project, as the rough draft of that is due on the 23rd. I can credit ( Read more... )

WARNING: There will be much discussion of mpreg, so be advised.

Now that the heat and the nasty bout of depression/panic attacks/brain muzziness is over, I'm back to work on the fanfics that need to be turned in, either in part or in whole. I've the midpoint deadline coming up on my submission for reel_torchwood, which means I have to have ~1,000 words ready by ( Read more... )

Went to the Wilmington grand fireworks show with my dad last night -- no, their fireworks were not the fail. The fail was some funny fail came from a house two doors down from the Wilmington Town Common: right after the very end of the show, someone in the back yard was setting off some *big* fireworks, first one small volley, then another larger, ( Read more... )

So, the mods of zombi_fic_ation were very kind and have given me till Friday to finish the Castle fic I'd been unable to finish, and I have a post date for the Torchwood fic that got hellishly long (not counting the alternate ending which I'll post elsewhere, once I post the general release version). Fortunately, I have a short work week this week, so I have ( Read more... )

And the goddamned Torchwood zombie story is finished and sent off. 4K words and change, the longest thing I've written this year (and there's some cut bits I might add to the director's cut version, along with an alternate ending which I decided to save for another time, because I was burning the midnight oil). "Never Doing That Again" might be ( Read more... )
