Steve has to come inside Tony at least once a day, everyday or else Tony has painful cramps/migraine/weakness/whatever that would eventually ( Read more... )

Thanks as always for the recs (damn you woman!) - no wonder you have no time for anything else, you are too busy reading reading reading!

Congrats on your bike reconstruction1

Eh - how was the trip? Are you home? I'd kind of been assuming you'd post about it at some point!

- also, reading, yes. Quite. There's a reason I'm going off-line tomorrow, notice up on the inside of my front door and everything! :)

Oh I did post but only on Facebook. I should do a little LJ post, shouldn't I?! (Though I think you are probably the only person on my flist who would be interested!)

Eh, no, don't bother posting just because! Only, was it as good as you hoped?

Two things! One: following 'you' on tumblr and what beautifully inspiring photos. Yum ( ... )

$200 is a depressing amount to earn, even for a decent photomanip. But I'm guessing it's what the market will bear - although, as with all things, I would guess that there is an well-paying and poorly-paying option? I must admit, I'm wondering now how this compares to a contracted artists at an established publishing house - I must ask. I don't even know if that's paid by piece or hour. Yet at the same time... I rather suspect most self-published novels are taking a while to earn even that $200 investment back. If (eh, sorry, it's instinctive!) - if the author's on a standard distribution contract (35%), for a book priced at, say, $7.99, they're earning $2.80/copy. That's 72 copies they'll have to sell before they've earned back that initial investment, and before they themselves earn any money. And most self-published novels, I gather, are selling in the low 10s rather thn 100s, although that statistic is anecdotal and not checked ( ... )

Thanks for the recs. I just read "Underground" in one go and it was probably the best fic I've read in this fandom.
