Do you like cheerleaders? Do you like aliens? Do you like urban legends? Well, then you're just gonna love my latest published short story, "Dying With Her Cheer Pants On," in which the Fighting Pumpkins Cheer Squad goes up against an alien invasion in a battle to the death, with the very fate of mankind hanging in the balance.

Awesome. :)

You have resurrected all my buried Bloody Mary trauma. I was an intensely impressionable child when two of my more mean-spirited friends told me about Bloody Mary. I spent the rest of our time living in the house where it occurred unable to go to the bathroom at night- or even go near the bathroom at night. I had to move to the bedroom farthest away from the bathroom on that floor.

But other than that, it was an amazing story. I loved it to tiny little pumpkin-flavoured pieces.

...ooops.

Sorry about that.

I'll live. I'm no longer five years old and therefore better at dealing with my overactive imagination. Like I said, I loved it, and I also shoved it in the faces of at least half of my friends!

Hooray!

Reading that in the wee hours of the morning? Not the best idea I've ever had. What with how I've already got nyctophobia going for me and all.

(I was WAY too scared to ever try the Bloody Mary thing. I don't think any of my friends ever did it. The sleepover thing for us was just watching Fern Gully and/or making crank calls to jack in the box and walmart.)

Whoops. Please be capable of sleeping?

It just took a bit more nightlight than usual. Heh.

*cheerful* I've been making all my AIM-friend read this story by pinging them with

"Seanan is AWESOME. "

They all agree!

Thank you, honey.
