Comparing Brothers: Why I Prefer Lucivar to Daemon

Date:

2

Maybe Lucivar’s social skills were rough compared to a slick Hayllian, but that wasn’t saying much. She’d rather have rough and honest than slick any day. – Marian, “The Prince of Ebon Rih” Both men have been outcast and enslaved. Both men have survived adversity. Both men were taught to believe in honor and to …

Delicious is No More (for Me)

Date:

A one-time fee seems well worth the price to preserve my sanity. I have officially created new bookmark archives over at Pinboard, the antisocial bookmarking site. (Not anti-social in a psychotic way, mind you!) This is good because Delicious has become too social for me to handle when all I want most in order to …

2012 Fic Recap

Date:

1

This year I wrote and posted:
23 stories (or drabble series) for an approximate total of 320,000 words.

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
Less. However, I finally landed a good-paying job and I feel the exchange was fair. After all, writing fanfiction may be fabulous but it doesn’t pay the bills!

Interesting!!

Anne Bishop, author of the Black Jewels Series, did an interview in which she answered this question… BR/TRC: Luciver’s storyline and background was only a short story in Dreams Made Flesh, although he has been included in most of the other books. And now that Daemon and Surreal have a daughter, have you considered writing …

Right. I am aggravated there is not an archive for all the Black Jewels fics floating around on the interwebs, some of which are seemingly buried where no one can find them. Therefore I am starting a bookmark archive. I encourage everyone to send me links to their Black Jewels stories or fanart. In a …

Black Jewels: Mikal

I don’t know why I’m thinking about this all of a sudden, but I realized how aggravated I am that I don’t know in particular what happened to Sylvia’s youngest son, Mikal. Who raises him? No, really. Think about it. Anne outlined several bad parental choices for the boy (his father, Sylvia’s father) but she …

2011 Writing Recap

Date:

2

This year I wrote and posted:
37 stories (or drabble series, lol) for an approximate total of 525,000 words. If you will recall, 2010’s word count was 350k, so I am a little shocked at this… o.O

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d predicted?
I worried I would run out of ideas, yet instead I seemed to stumble upon more than ever! I do try valiantly to shy away from repeating the same storylines over and over, however. For example, I didn’t write nearly as many creepy mind-hoodoo stories as I did last year. LOL.

A meme, because I can. :) Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists …

As if writing isn’t enough, I dug out my oil paints and sketch pads from storage. I want – read, WANT WANT WANT – to do an oil painting of a young Saetan Daemon SaDiablo from the Black Jewels fandom. I have the pose already decided upon – him looking down at his Black Jewel …
