  1. Stuck, right in the middle of a lesbian sex sequence… oh, how the Gods of writing have abandoned me today.

  2. For those of you who don’t follow me, the planning thread for the Holiday Anthology is up! But seriously, you should be following me.

     

  3. So, did a bad thing...  Still doing a bad thing...  Posting in class...  But, two chapters of Hunted up and hopefully get to reviewing the Halloween anthology this evening...  NSFW, you say?  I say, if no one knows, no one says anything...  Lol.

      I like how @Sinfulwolf immediately goes to whips...  lol.

      Well, aside from DP, who I'll read when not at work (I think that might be pushing it...  lol), reviewed.  :) .

      YAY!

  4. Totally meant to get some work done on my own writing tonight. Ended up reading two stories, and am jumping into a third. Whoops.

      I know the feeling quite well.  Although mine was more i used to be trying to get work done, then spend hours wandering the forums.  They're like a labyrinth here, once you're in, you never get out... lol.

  5. Had a liver biopsy. In a ton of pain. So I can’t do anything but sit here, so come entertain me people. Or pity me. I’ll take both.

      Porn?  Damn, I thought I was a doctor tv series...  Well, shit, that explains why I've been told I need help.  Lol.

  7. I know I already said this, but it feels like a public announcement kinda thing. Happy Birthday @Tcr!!! :chook:

  8. It’s the big day! Biopsy of the lung via bronchoscopy! I’m so freaked out.

  9. Okay, so personal rant coming up…

    I was reading A few posts off site that a couple friends had shared and I felt absolutely disturbed by them.  It might be a few years back and all, but...  

    To have published authors who readily compare fanfic to home invasion (because (imo) free publicity is certainly the same as having someone break in and take everything), immoral  (... not touching that idea...) making them want to 'barf' (excellent wording, btw), and referring to it as adultery... 

    Are you serious?  I understand the idea of not liking it (I don't agree, but that's a personal thought process and one I can't force on others)...  But really?

    Sorry, just a little growly over this...

      Now, this is a humble opinion of a delusional madman here...  But if I was published and I saw some fanfic of it on here (he'll, if someone contacted me and was like "I want to write in the universe of Blood Prize" I'd be feeling pretty complimented and flattered by it.  Admittedly, I'm kind of weird that way, so…

      But I do understand the approach and thoughts behind it of staying away, too.  Nowadays, it seems like people will sue over every little thing (Not to say it does happen, but with news and stuff, it has that stigma)...  And no author (I hope) wants to be accused of plagiarizing, even without that knowledge.  It does wonders for a career if that happens, I hear.

      I actually read something about Gaiman openly admitting that even his head canon isn't really canon and that fans are open to interpreting however they want.  I'mpretty sure he was in favour of fan fiction.  Lol.

      @DemonGoddess that's hilarious you mention that, because she was one of the ones mentioned in there.

      @BronxWench Dubious content?  Here?  No...  I've never seen that here...  Say it ain't so…

      And going back a little ways to tie into what you said, it is good to build fan bases.  Fan bases on one usually have several others.  To me, it's a compliment, but it's also free publicity in there too.  And not just for one distinct one, either.  A reader might connect something on one to something different (while not fan fiction, I wouldn't have known about Schadenfreude if you and Pippy hadn't mentioned it).  Writers talk.

      CR: Definitely, I get the thoughts of some who just don’t want to see people ‘butchering’ their works.  There are some who just love their worlds that much that seeing anything ‘wrong’ (using this leniently) is hard to do.  Personally, like you, I would love if someone was like ‘I love those characters that I want to add to the story’.  Hell, if I saw some fanfic works, I’d be like ‘Sweet Christmas!  I’m reading this!’…  lol.

      DG: That’s my understanding of the difference as well.  Albeit I’m not up to date on it all.

      BW: Well, the one I read listed three specifically, one that was kind of surprising, and two that weren’t really all that shocking…  Admittedly, it’s probably a very good reason for why there hasn’t been that many involved here.  Disclaimers are just good ideas no matter what (despite the fact that there are people out there that don’t seem to understand why).  And, admittedly, I’m not a vast dabbler in the realm of fanfic like a lot of people (I like my originals…  lol), but being able to play around in a universe you love (whether it be something as vast and expansive as LOTR, ST, SW, The Expanse) or something that seems to be rather contained (ie something like Equilibrium, Frequency, et cetera (am I showing just how eclectic my tastes are?), that’s just showing that love…

      To have someone be like ‘Screw that shit, you can’t play in that sandbox or I’ll sic my lawyers on you like wolves who haven’t been fed enough’, that really doesn’t work too well to A.) show the love of that universe (both in author and fanfic writer) and B.) allow one to enjoy that universe.  (Making sense?  Probably not…  Not much sense to be made today, I guess...)

  13. I have cover art!  :happykitten:

    NineStar Press is republishing my Witch’s Apprentice series, and Ghost’s Sight, the first book, has cover art. I’m really excited, and I can’t wait for the release date!

  14. Going to a respiratory specialist tomorrow. Hopefully get an appointment for the biopsy. (I apparently got 15 little balls in my lungs) but I’m still holding out hope that I’m gonna go in there and they’re gonna be like “guuurl we got you. We found out what aaaails you, queeen!! With our big city doctor sorcery! Eat these magic beans, a stalk will shoot out of your ass, and you be cuuuured bitch!” Kuz that’s how doctors talk.

  20. The Repair Guy made 3k dragon prints today, :yahoo:

     

  21. Well, this a strange burst of creative inspiration...  8 chapters in the equivalent time of approximate eight hours across two days...  After so long of not feeling it, I'd almost forgotten what a rush it could be.  :D:D:D:D

      I was expecting more people to post, so I was holding off just to get everyone done at once.  One fell swoop, so to speak (... Because I'm weird... And possibly crazy...  Although the toaster says I'm sane...)

      PippyChick: Yeah, I notice that myself and that's probably the reason now.  Just posted something new and yeah...  While I know comparing does nothing, I've found it happening with this one…

      DP: I wish I could say it was a big check...  I'd pull it there.  Still thinking no publisher will take the one I'm prepping...
