Okay– so, Mackey and Trav may yet be on the roster, say, next week? But right now, this is a gift for Mary my Mary, whom I love and adore–for her I’ll write ficlets forever and more 😉 *  *  * Check Mate–a Gambling Men Ficlet They walked, shoulder to shoulder, down the streets of… Read More

I promise, tomorrow will be Fanfic Saturday, and I swear I’ll stick to happy things and Christmas and joy and lightness for the rest of the holiday season. I loathe political diatribes– I even loathe writing them, although I find myself ranting more times than I’m comfortable with. I wanted to talk about the Force… Read More

A. Squish had a choir performance.  She was lovely–and I’m pretty sure she sang the loudest of anyone there. B. I had a hat to finish. Which I did. It’s really large and DAMN me for making gauge assumptions. I knit REALLY LOOSE to accommodate the way Fair Isle tends to schwack your knitting in… Read More

Okay– so it’s getting close. I admit it. And not all my shopping is done, and I’m still thinking I’m going to make my January deadline and my kitchen table is terrifying. That being said, there were a few Christmas things that caught my attention today. #1– Wayne Newton’s approach to Christmas certainly has changed… Read More

She’s SNORING in my EAR.  *whew* Well, you guys really seemed to love the Dex and Kane short yesterday, and this makes me really happy. I think I’ll do another one this Friday with another couple. I’ve done Jeremy and Aiden on Amber Kell’s blog in November, so maybe not them, but, well, you know–… Read More

Aherm. You all asked for it. That’s all I’ve got to say.  Oh! And every time I typed “Dex” my damned computer tried to make it “Sex”– I think I out-Dexed autocorrect eventually, but if you see “Sex said,” or “Sex and Kane exchanged glances” know it was the damned program and NOT me! Swear!… Read More

Okay– First of all, I WILL write a fanfic this week– just not today. I had a REALLY busy week, and an edit I needed in, and now I DESPERATELY need to write on my actual WIP. Anyway– A couple of fun things before I bail to do just that. First of all– Last night… Read More

Okay– so three things, and then I’m going to call it a night: A. Back when I was teaching, I used to walk a mile four or so days a week. It’s not a lot, but my job was pretty energy intensive, and it got so I was fat and fast. I could walk across… Read More

Okay– I’ll be honest. Throwing my life out on the blog isn’t always easy.  After changing my format to six days a week, I’ve gotten better at the short and sweet story, and hopefully better at saving at least a little bit of cleverness for you all–but some days I am long on “meh” and… Read More
