Whispers

Well, in a word, busy. Playing catch-up. Working, reading, writing, editing (thanks again, in_the_blue!), submitting, etc.

Honestly, I'm still on the fence with what I'm going to do with my WIP fanfics and how I want to publish my original fiction. Submitting is great, but it locks up my stories for a long time. Some I'd rather just collect and publish independently, but at the same time, if the periodicals did buy them, I'd get a whole lot better cash flow.

:thinking:

Read some great stuff today: to all mutual friends of lithiumlaughter, hie thee over and read her original short story; it's amazing.

Also, sending hugs and blessings to those on my f-list I haven't said anything to recently (that whole where in the world have I been bit): trovia, stormkpr, xenokattz, mwffj, whipsy, ashmanda, alexmonalisa, lilacsigil, pygmymuse, rogue437, etc. Have fun and be blessed!

Congrats, everybody who is working and making progress and writing and creating beautiful things I should be commenting on. I'm reading some (not much) and commenting little (less) because right now, my schedule is more jammed packed then you would believe.

I'll still be posting because I've got lots to do and I do a lot of it here and on my other websites, but even that may slow (or increase, who knows?).

If you want to see my current stats for submitting my writing, it will be on Liana Mir on the sidebar.

If you want to read what I'm scribbling, the only comprehensive updating location will be 15_minute_draft, though stuff may show up here, at Liana, on my ff.net profile, or in comments (or nowhere else maybe).

Sorry, but hugs to you all! You are awesome!

I'll see you all in December!

Then pray hard. I'm less than 3 hours from not being able to get this ladies_fest fic out the door on time and I've got a last-second beta waiting for it.

:headdesk:

I officially hate this prompt. It inspired me for that much and then left me hanging out to dry.

Next project: pairing 20in20 icons for Emma/Charles. Whatever possessed me?

It took a while, but I finally got the kiss one to come together. Had to swipe from another movie and manip. And now I got to figure out which one I like best (leaning toward 01) and get on to the next grand challenge. (shipping noncanon is a pain for icon-making, but I wanted a challenge, and so I have one)

01

02

03

But seriously, I have my first, honest-to-goodness annoying protagonist!

I'm not sure if this is a good sign or a dreadful omen. :head on hands:

For all the comments, reviews, posts, owed fics, and wonderfulness, etc. that happened while my LJ was dead and buried that I won't be able to get to right away. In the middle of a major RL push. Ugh. :hugs:

Here's your icon, love!

(Like I need something more to do. :shakes head at self: )

From xenokattz and mwffj. I did both before I'd post it myself, naughty me.

Give me a pairing and I will tell you:
1. What they most commonly do during sex.
2. Who has prettier hair.
3. What they argue about most often.
4. Who'd cope best if the other one died.
5. The happiest plausible happily-ever-after I can think of for them.

In honor of the fun I'm having and dialectical's awesome screencaps, ask for an X-Men movieverse icon and it's yours.

:grins:

FF.net finally gets my Divergent category loaded and characters loaded and it won't keep any characters selected and the story shows up on my profile with Zhang Fei as the character. Pardon moi?

I never dumped FF.net and never wanted to for two reasons:

1. As a reader, I've never found a fanfiction site I prefer for easy tracking, reviewing, etc. It makes my life easy.

2. As a writer, my largest audience is there. I'm known; I know; we have community. It's an awesome thing.

And since I had over thirty stories, many multi-chapter, before I even considered switching, it was too much of a bear. I hate losing reviews, readers, and putting in the HUGE amount of work involved in picking up roots.

And then there's PM.

All these people I used to ask for help for so many things disabled PM and now I don't have a French title for All's Fair. I alternate chapters for Remy and Rogue; her titles are in English, and his are in French. For Without a Trace and his All's Fair titles, I asked abthetis, now ab26. And now, she's got PM disabled and I'm freaking out.

Seriously wondering if I should switch platforms. Or something.

Disconsolately yours.
