Some interesting conversation over in hello_spikey’s eljay about Seeing Red and gender reversal.
It struck me while reading the discussion that while I like Spike’s emotional vulnerability, I prefer it wrapped up in a nice prickly coat of snark. And I tend to hit the back button when I come across a story […]

I did not get any writing done at all this weekend, but I did spend considerable time pondering certain philosophical and technical aspects of raising up vamp!kids.
As for what I did do, I went along with Kathy to see her accountant Saturday, and to our vast relief, it turns out that the gift […]

INT. BARB’S HEAD. The Great and Powerful Author (hereinafter referred to as BARB) is slouched in front of her computer, surfing fandom_wank hard at work. Enter SPIKE, stage left. He is wearing sweats and has a towel around his neck.

The first story I wrote was in first grade, because we were assigned to write a story. I wrote about a brave pony rescuing his master from drowning in an icy pond. I am pretty sure I ripped the […]

Many thanks to the mystery gifter who left me (and half my flist, it seems like) virtual hot chocolate in the night!
I sent part 4 of “Little Sister” off to the betas last night – I’ll be going over it at least once more before posting it, because it just seems kind of […]

Some time back, I posted a short thingy about how live vampire/Slayer/human interbreeding works in the Barbverse. However, I posted it in the comments of a post about something else entirely, and since some questions have come up about the subject, I thought I’d go back, dig the original information out of said comments, and […]

1. There has been rain. Lots of rain! (For the uninitiated, ‘lots of rain’ in Phoenix = “3 + inches over the course of two weeks.”) This is very, very good. While our drought is not making headlines since it’s been going on for the last ten or fifteen years and […]

See, when I say ‘ruthless,’ I mean, “I own twenty objects. I will pick the five I like best, and the rest are up for getting sold/donated/thrown out.” Whereas when wildrider says ‘ruthless,’ she means, “I own twenty objects. I will pick the one I didn’t really want in the first place, […]
