A Brief Encounter

November 30, 2009

Because I have nothing better to do than to write subversive stories with more unhappy endings.  This is a TOS story that’s been floating around in my head for the last two days…
Author’s note: This is a very, very rough draft of a story that just popped into my head.  I have absolutely NO INTENTION [...]

I have defected…

November 26, 2009

… but in a good way.
Candace (of Musings of a Daydreamer fame) has permitted a story of mine to take over a small portion of her blog.  I have written a vignette for her story, An Illogical Woman, hijacking her characters and bending them to my will.  The chapter titled The More Things Change was [...]

Happy Star Trek DVD Release Day!

November 17, 2009

There I was up at the crack of dawn (8 o’clock…hardly a crack) standing in front of Target (late for work) in a line…
LINE?
I know, amazed me as well.  Surely all these people can’t be waiting for the Star Trek DVD, I said.  Turns out, they WEREN’T!  I was the only one waiting… like a [...]

I’ve actually started to get my Jane Austen groove back

November 16, 2009

I know, I know, my mind has been completely taken over by Zachary Quinto Star Trek the last few months.    Hard to believe that the film came out in May and now, here it is November and the DVD drops tomorrow.
I was in the store this afternoon and I saw the empty shelves where the [...]

3! 3! 3! 3! Let’s sing a song of 3. How many is three?

Sesame Street turns 40 and I’ve posted Full Circle – Part III.

The next chapter of Full Circle is up, late as usual

If I didn’t have this insatiable need to pick…
So, this is how I write:  As I have said in some previous post, I write all the dialogue down first (it’s like a running conversation in my head).  After that, I go back and add all the actions.  I actually hate that part of writing because [...]

Want to read a really, really awesome Star Trek fic?

November 5, 2009

It’s called: Lunch and Other Obscenities
It’s funny and touching and the best thing I’ve read in a long time.  It’s mostly an Uhura & Gaila story, but Spock makes an absolutely fascinating little cameo that will have you grinning from ear to ear.  It’s not long and should take no more than 30minutes to read, [...]

OMG! A wake up call…

November 5, 2009

CNN just laid it all out there… 
Think you would never go so far as to become obsessed with your favorite celebrity?
Um… er… um… Yes.
Often, the image of a celebrity stalker is a mentally ill loner, someone whose sole purpose in life is devoted to the notables they follow like deities — or prey.
Well, I’m hardly [...]

Don’t say I never did anything for you

November 3, 2009

I know you will not believe your eyes, but I did FINALLY post my Selkek story… without any Selkek!  I took the chapter that he was in (the first) and moved it (to the second).  His part needed a little more (ok, a lot more) work, so I hope you will forgive my tardiness.  Enjoy [...]
