Okay, I'll be the very first to admit that I've been utterly absent. It hasn't been my fault, okay? We can all blame a little Armenian man named Yousuf Karsh for that. He has taken over my life wholesale (not discount, not high-end -- WHOLESALE) and reduced my LJ-ing-ness to mere yammerings (when applicable) and (mostly) silences.

Podfic!

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:49:14 GMT

Hey! Remember me? Maybe not. But someone sure has...the amazing and long-suffering Issaro, aka fanfic_read_by, has taken it upon herself to record in podcast form my secret Favourite Fanfic...Old Rebel Yeller. It has the boys, of course, and a possessed golden lab and involves dressing up as Civil War Reenactors. What's not to love, I say? If you have a long drive coming up or are, like me, presently walking an hour to work each way (oh, Ottawa Transit strike now in it's 44th day, how I love thee!), this could be for you. And she has a bunch of good SPN podfics squirrelled away on her site -- go explore. Here's the linky link to mine.

Cool Post for Those with Interest

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:04:50 GMT

Since posting the PDFs of my fanfic collected works a couple of days ago, I've been fielding questions about Best Practice for printing options. I think that my gorgeous collaborator on the Single White, Double Yellow project, morgandawn , has said it best here.

It's like Christmas...in December!

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 03:50:42 GMT

Since Mr. Pink and the Nippers have gone to BC a week before me, leaving my sorry ass in the desolate winter wasteland known as Our Nation's Capital, I have completed the following:

bought a 6 ft aluminum ladder to change a light bulb
written three chapters of the new original fic (what can I say? It's bright, it's shiny)
watched incessant repeats of SYTYCD-C, because, yes, Nico Archambault does own my soul
missed three days of work because of stupid snow and a transit strike (combined with present insane Canadian politics, it's really a sign of the impending Apocalypse)
watched Dr. Phil because I am that lonesome without the Pinks
seared some scallops and served them up with a lovely chardonnay only to eat in front of my new BFF, the TV.

But, most of all...I HAVE A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU ALL (if, of course, you want it)

Big Pink Sells Out!

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:45:53 GMT

Yep. That's right. I've put together all the fics in the Red 'verse, had them edited, bound, designed, added to with miscellaneous goodies (like one missing scene, notes, photos, etc.). It's a two-volume set! smilla02 has designed new covers! It's called "Single White, Double Yellow" and it's yours...if you bid on it.

The New Boy

Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:11:34 GMT

Yeah. So anyone been watching HBO's Generation Kill? Why the fuck not? Now, some of you know my excitement about The Wire, the best television series of all time (say that without a bit of irony, will you?). Folks from The Wire (Ed Burns, Executive Producer, David Simon, both writers) are involved in the new seven-part series -- it's great. Hard, as was The Wire, profane, disturbing, never taking the predictable or easy road (not unlike the so-called protagonists). It's a million shades of grey.

I can hear Van Halen from my hotel window. If God was ever gonna cut someone down, it would be Diamond Dave on the Plains of Abraham, tonight.

Rec: a Big Bang

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:40:57 GMT

Just nipping in quickly this Canada Day (yippee! Free poutine for everyone!) to recommend smilla02's lovely and haunting and hurting (and long, written for spn_j2_bigbang) piece, Ten in One. First off the bat, I have to confess that I got the chance to read and comment on it a couple of times while in process, but I honestly didn't add much, so I don't feel a twinge of guilt in reccing it. It's an AU season 4 fic, the first one I found totally believable, both in terms of how Dean coming back from Hell could happen and the very real consequences of that.

Hi guys -- I'm acting as moderator/workshop host over on spnroundtable, ostensibly delivering a workshop on how to use outlines to finish Really Whopping Pieces of Fiction. Y'all know me; I don't know when to shut the fuck up and apparently spnrountable doesn't know enough to put a muzzle on me.
