I intended to do all kinds of things today, but after doing Mom’s grocery shopping, I came home, puttered around a bit, thought, “I’ll lie down for a minute,” and ended up sleeping for three hours. I guess I needed it. But I got a good start on the next installment of “Little […]

Ending it all
Posted in Fic discussion, Writing on Apr 26th, 2008
Endings. They’re a bitch. This is evinced by the number of quite good writers who don’t seem to know what to do with them. And it’s a major factor, I think, in why shippy fic tends to outnumber gen in fanfic: it’s not just that a lot of fanfic readers and writers […]
Writing meme
Posted in Barbverse, Fic discussion, Writing, meta on Apr 21st, 2008
Argh. Didn’t get everything I needed done at work today, as Mom wanted me to run errands, and I HAD TO LEAVE ON TIME. However, Kathy’s going to a concert tomorrow night, so I can probably stay late with a clear conscience.
I think I’ve got the plot tangles worked out for […]
Knocking on Fandom’s Door
Posted in Other fannish, meta on Apr 21st, 2008
I was reading a post linked on su_herald the other day, which was lamenting the fact that fandom was shrinking and the difficult of keeping up one’s enthusiasm under those conditions. The author asked for recs, while requesting that respondents bear in mind that she only read stories about Angel.
Now, there’s nothing unusual about this […]
I am nuts
Posted in Fic discussion on Apr 18th, 2008
I just signed up for the cya_ficathon However, I think I’m safe, because looking over the last few rounds, virtually none of the participants request Spike/Buffy. Odds are excellent that no one will pick me. (rubs hands in glee)

is holding a BtVS Spread The Love meme here. You can anonymously rec people on your friends list whom you think folks might like to read, and pick up ideas for people you might like to read. Feel free to pimp!
Spring is springing, the larkspur are starting to bloom, and the weather […]
Not explicitly spoilery, but…

Drabble: What It Isn’t
Posted in Fic on Apr 9th, 2008
IT’S SCHMOOP. NOTHING BUT SCHMOOP. SCHMOOP SCHMOOP SCHMOOP. YOU CAN”T SAY YOU WEREN’T WARNED.
What It Isn’t
B/S Barbverse, PG-13
Spike’s a vampire, not a pussycat. So when they’re curled up on the couch, sharing a bucket of wings and a crappy movie, that lazy rumble beneath her cheek? Not a purr. […]
The sorrows of not so Young WertherBarb
Posted in Personal on Apr 8th, 2008
Sigh. My del.icio.us bookmarks are broken. Oh, they’re on the website, but they don’t show up in my browser.
I always know when it’s coming up on that time of month. I don’t turn into a raging bitch or anything. Oh, how I wish I turned into a raving bitch. […]
