The subject of the percentage of male vs female writers came up over in shadowkat67’s LJ, and I’m curious. How many male fanfic writers are writing BtVS fic? Are there any who used to write it, but have stopped? I’m assuming that while the majority of fic writers in this fandom are […]

Ask me any question about any character you know I write, and I’ll come up with an answer. Ever wanted to know what flavor toothpaste my Buffy uses? Or which weapon is my Spike’s favorite? Or what position they sleep in, or what their favorite spot on their partner is? Ask, and I’ll […]

They’re making a Golden Compass movie.
I am so torn. On the one hand, I loved the first two and a half books of this trilogy, and it would make a stunning, stunning, STUNNING movie. On the other hand, I was pretty disappointed in the way the third book ended; I felt […]

Last weekend, as you know if you read wildrider’s journal, we went to Last Chance and stumbled upon a 50% off shoe sale. I’ve been going through a sort of “Hey, I don’t have to wear boring shoes to work!” thing, so I got several pairs of shoes that I really liked, and over […]

I’m assuming most of you have read anaross’s excellent fic, and some of you have been to her equally excellent writing workshops at Writercon. What you may or may not know is that she’s an author and writing teacher in real life. Right now she’s taking sign-ups for an e-mail writing seminar, all […]
