I'm not participating as a writer this year, but I'll be cheerleading and betareading. :D

Join us at wipbigbang
Sign up March 6-April 3 and Finish Your Sh**!
This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them! All fandoms welcome!

They say you don't know what you've got until it's gone. It's true. When the ads started showing up, I was like, "WTF?" Oh, yeah. I expired. Frak. Note to self: that's why you want a paid account. lol

I have been so frakking busy. I feel like I'm not getting anything done, but I am, 'cause I've got checklists getting checked off. If I owe you something, it's on its way. I promise.

~~send help. or a shovel.~~

ETA: Happy Birthday,

juliekaye! Sorry I missed it!

Happy Birthday,

walbergr! My writing has been crap for months, but when she comes back, she might work on a little something for you. :D

Jenny Crusie doesn't always flip my skirt with her blog posts, but this one makes perfect sense of my life, and coming to writing/editing/creativity in my late forties.

Plenty of Time

Galen calls them “experimental innovators,” people who have to research and understand and hone their skills in order to figure out what they want to do. They don’t start knowing, they search and learn in order to find out what they want to do. As Gladwell puts it, “The Cézannes of the world bloom late not as a result of some defect in character, or distraction, or lack of ambition, but because the kind of creativity that proceeds through trial and error necessarily takes a long time to come to fruition.”

It's oft been said that Lana has to do everything the slow way. It's true. Now I understand why.

There is plenty of time. But don't let that keep you from telling people you love them. There's never enough time for that.

Let it hereby be known 2016 was the year I flaked on every-frakking-body. Mea maxima culpa.

2017 is the year I make it up to y'all, and I've already started.

Current Mood: accomplished

If you want to read my fiction, definitely check out My AO3 . Everything I write gets posted there, including commentfic, RPF, fics involving underage characters having sex, and original fiction. Those don't get posted here for various reasons, and some of them are locked to AO3 members only.

All my fic posts here are public, so anybody can read them, whether or not you've friended my fic journal.

My fanfic in this journal is entirely Battlestar Galactica 2003 - mostly Kara paired with somebody. I write a lot of smut, some genfic when the prompt strikes me just right. Any fic I write for other fandoms will only be posted to AO3.

I love fic recs, especially for good Kara/Helo stuff, so please tell me about something good you've read. When I find something Kara/Helo, I add it to the Thrace_Agathon collection at AO3.

And

newnumbertwo is my trusty beta, even when I forget to acknowledge her in the posts, which I am ashamed to say happens often. We've added

laura_mayfair to our writing village, and she's a welcome addition. Sometimes,

singerdiva01_sk helps, and we like having her around, too.

By no means a comprehensive list of my fics, the following is a listing of ongoing or complete series or chapterfics. Some people would call the latter WIPs, but since each chapter stands alone in the same 'verse, I don't consider these works-in-progress

( SERIES )
( CHAPTERFICS )

Because I've seen this happening all over fandom, I'm putting this out there for the record.

I have no intention of taking my stuff down, either here (it's part of the reason I made a separate fic journal) or on AO3. If something were to happen to me, I can't imagine my daughter or my beta village would do so, either. But...if you save something offline for your own reading use, and for some reason my stuff is no longer available, please feel free to share my works with whomever asks.

Current Mood: lazy
Current Location: United States, Texas, Dallas

It's just fun, y'all!

I just love a good christmas miracle. 'Cause if anybody understands having a shitty holiday season, it's us. We know who we are.

Happy Christmas, everybody. Hugs and love.

GetYourWordsOut: Year Eight!

This will be my third year participating. It's a wonderful community, with generous and thoughtful people who happen to write. :D

2014, I did really well, hitting my goal and adjusting upward twice, ending up with 268K words! This year, not so much. I haven't even broken 100K.

I'm going to pledge big again for 2016, though - not 300K big, but aim high, right?

I'm so excited!

What I am doing with my life: killing cylons.
I'm really good at: ~~killing cylons~~. ~~and blow jobs~~. ~~and frakking~~. ~~and drinking~~. ~~and pyramid~~. everything.
The first things people usually notice about me: my rack and my mouth.
The six things I could never do without: flying, sex, cigars, pyramid, booze, anything that pisses Lee off.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit: I like to piss Lee off. I've probably frakked more guys than you. :D

theferrett's always good for saying things I mean, only better. :D

OMGs. Way too funny!

First posted at

het_reccers for my tenure as special reccer for November.

My view of Longmire is informed by both the series and the books. I watched the series first, then started reading the books, and each enhances my appreciation of the other. I picture the series cast when reading. I love the relationships on the show and in the book series, and am definitely rooting for the Vic/Walt romance for the long haul.

Recs - obviously, I have a thing for first times. lol

These are five out of the mere forty fics on AO3. It's a tiny fandom yet, but I enjoy reading Vic/Walt almost as much as I enjoy a good Kara/Lee fic. Almost.

Just a reminder that I need prompts for my wishlist_fic writing this year. I've got two, and I need a minimum of six, so if you haven't dropped by to suggest something, please do.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds

Always wanted to tell your own Star Trek story about Kirk, Spock, Janeway, Picard, Uhura, Sisko, Major Kira, Archer, Tom Paris, Hoshi, the Borg, U.S.S. Enterprise, etc.?

Well, your time is coming, as Simon & Schuster, as part of its celebration of Star Trek's upcoming 50th anniversary, will bring back its popular Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fan fiction writing contest. The orignal Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was a yearly collection of Trek short stories published between 1998 and 2007, with the amateur writers' works chosen via an open submissions process. The new contest for 2016 will result in ten grand prize winners who will have their stories published in both print and eBook formats as part of an all-new official anthology from Simon & Schuster.

Additionally, the two first prize winners will receive a free self-publishing package from Archway Publishing.

A deadline of January 15, 2016 has been set for submissions by U.S. residents only, and the winners will be announced on March 31, 2016, with the winning stories selected by a panel (to be named in the near future). And, to make the 2016 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds a fully fan-created package, fans will soon be asked to submit their artwork for cover consideration. Visit Star Trek Books for additional details.

If everything works out, I'm going to see my kid/grandson in December, from just before xmas to just after new years. Kid and hubby don't have a car.

Does anybody live close enough to pick me up at the airport and drop me in Leesburg, then do the reverse a week or so later? For not much money?

Current Mood: ecstatic

Happy Birthday,

fragrantwoods!!!

Today's topic in a writing comm was:
Over the years we have all produced fic. Some of it has been rewarded with kudos and comments. There's not always a clear reason why some fics 'make it' into the readers acclaim or why. When public acclaim is taken into account: what are your best fics? Don't hesitate to post links.

I answered based only on top fics according to AO3 stats. I don't really pay much attention to ff.net. I post things there, then forget about them.
