1. Am home. 2. We have two cats, one of whom demanded her rightful allotment of cream the moment she showed her nose. 3. There's one dead rat on the porch. That's fewer dead rats than I expected. Also...to finish specific things. Oh sigh. In conclusion, I note that I might have to get BPAL's Mourning Moon just because, well, Donne. Also, eek! Wind in the Wllows themed scents

Today is a boots day and a Western Diamondback day: Snake Oil with leather, tonka bean, red sandalwood, and sage. . Smooth, mellow, sleepy, with self-confidence underneath. Yesterday was a successful... 2009? I've only ever driven through the place my father always called Minne-ha-ha for reasons that were never clear to me. I might have to restrain my urge to toss a tam o'shanter into the air, though

One: Let's open with the fic wittering, since I feel like I ought to have posted a story last night, but I didn't. I have 3000 words of angsty post-Eyghon story, with Giles and his dad. That's about...with a smaller wordcount requirement? Or is this just me admitting finally that I need deadlines and that I want a deadline for the Highgate Cemetery story?

I hope you like angsty post-Eyghon stories. Also, I love the intertubes for useful pages like this one . Also, I hope your weekend has many pleasant things planned for it. Mine does!

I re-outlined the 1974 timetravel/Highgate Cemetery story and had a dismaying realization. I'm looking at about 30K words, and most of what I've written will need revision to fit the new approach to the...what you're getting is the already-in-first-draft-state Giles/Xander kinky-prawn-plus-angst Cleveland short pieces. Four of them. I have cleverly chosen the prompts to avoid completing a bingo line

Well, the good news is, I have a solid grasp of where my Summer of Giles story needs to go, and how to correct the Point of View mess of the 2nd and 3rd half. Not sure if I can do it in 2 weeks, but I...Monday. Something to look forward to. Unlike wading through the mess of SoG. Better get back to it. Good luck to all on my f-list who are represented among the nominees for the tnl_awards

I finished a song today. Some of you may remember my friend K, who passed away in December. I've never been able to get that collection of stories together, as I couldn't get other people to contribute...ask people to read for something like this. I may start posting the novel proper earlier on ff.net and just provide a link when saying this is a deleted scene to this longer thing. Haven't decided yet

I was reading metafandom , as one does, and I read a link from prehistoric_sea about preferences in kinkfic. And also as one does, since I'm also writing kink_bingo prompts... I'm just going to finish things as the subconscious wants to finish them. Eventually I'll get bored with that, but I'm going to give it a nice long break and see if I can finish some serieses.

From subduction via paian , a new sort of meme, revised slightly. Behind the cut are three Wordle images created from stories I'm currently working on. Here's how it works: 1. Pick...ficlet inspired by the words. 4. Or you can run away with a plotbunny of your very own. 5. And you can do this yourself in your journal if you feel like it. #1: #2: #3:

Hrm. I just finished a ridiculous 1200-word Giles/Xander kink thing, but I think I'm not going to post it. I'm going to hang onto it in case I face-plant with this alchemical trap Giles/Buffy story. Due..."renovation" to describe a thus-far unsuccessful attempt to replace my stupid kitchen range.) Whine, whine. I think what I need is the morning's first cup of coffee, which is at least two hours overdue
