Chapter 8 is off to the betas! I wrote a chapter in a mere month, and it’s a long sonofabitch, too! Yay, me!
We got around to watiching the tape of “Lost” we made, and suffice to say we’ll be watching that and taping Smallville from now on, so Maggie can fast-forward to the Lex bits. I like it. I don’t know how long they can sustain the concept without it getting annoying (Let’s face it, […]
My, I’m chatty today. So anyway, I was looking up the latest installment of ’s Fanfiction University series. If you haven’t read it, it’s a fairly funny series about a group of newbie fic writers going to, well, Fanfiction U. I ended up following links back to the main PPC/a> (Protectors […]

This means everyone should go to their LJ right now and tell their friends to watch a really good movie which most of them probably have not seen. And then tell more people to do it. Hopefully, we’ll all have lots and lots of recommendations by the […]
Oh, I forgot: A couple of wallpapers I made for Summer of Spike are now up for the taking on my website:
