First of all, congratulations to the giveaway winner, Ben! Hopefully USPS does not let us down.

Meanwhile, I asked for prompts for snippets over on my Tumblr. These are all Alternate Universe for existing stories. I did not include the Wicklow's Odyssey high school AU because it's more notes and squealing than a story, and the GODRIC AND BERTIE STAR-CROSSED LOVERS AU MADE ME SAD AND DOES NOT EXIST EXCEPT IN MY HEART.

Anyway. Thanks to everyone who keeps reading my stuff and who cares enough to give me fun prompts for the characters they like.

(Okay and LJ made me cut off one story because LJ sucks-so expect another snippet of Cory and Vincent later.... or remind me to post it. I may forget. And the Checking Out Love one as well)

(the AU in which Tommy and Tavio from Medium, Sweet, Extra Shot of Geek, meet at a party)

Current Mood: aggravated

So I was killing time yesterday in between cleaning and food prep, and asked if anyone on Tumblr would donate to a foodbank in exchange for a snippet with a prompt of their choosing, and Starrla89 kindly donated. She then requested Wicklow/Rhoades, with Wicklow initiating a kiss.

(It might be a little strange. I am sick and was sick when I wrote it. Ah well.)

Spoilers for Wicklow's Odyssey. (duh)

( i can breathe again )

So... I was writing Christmas snippets for people on Tumblr while also editing Little Wolf and someone asked for a fairy tale and what was meant to be a short thing turned into a slightly longer story.

Ah. Me and my weird brain.

Anyway, so, Little Wolf is an unfinished novel about a very confused little werewolf finding his mate and for whatever reason, he reminds me and Selenographics of a cracky fairy tale about a princess locked in a tower. Which is probably how this happened.

Little Prince
(The Little Wolf Fairy Tale AU)

Summary: Prince Timothy is betrothed to Prince Nathaniel, who is handsome and kind and perfect. It's awful.

Current Mood: exhausted

I have been going through... things... so I apologize for not being around much. The fun part of being crazy is that I get to say things like that and y'all have to be understanding about it. But yeah, life, seriously. (When you are playing "I am a rock" by Simon & Garfunkel over and over again it's maybe time to emerge from your fortress deep and mighty). I am working on being a person again, just in time for the holidays.

In writing news I finally got something from Dreamspinner about A Boy and His Dragon. I assume if I'm just getting the cover specs sheet about the artwork that it won't be coming out until January at least. But I don't have a definite date yet so bear with me.

Meanwhile, I should reformat that short story I did a while back and hopefully get it up on Smashwords soon. And I still want to do something for the food bank Second Harvest for Thanksgiving. I don't know what would raise the most money. I was thinking of maybe writing something in small sections and posting a new section every time someone donates to Second Harvest (even a dollar) or takes a picture of themselves putting cans or boxes of food into a donation bin at their local grocery store. You know, holding your story hostage until people get fed. Something?

I really need that secretary my third grade teacher said I would need in life now. Plz. I also need to channel my inner Will and go dancing. I haven't in over a year and that is just wrong. If only I had friends...

Ah well. STORIES. Let me think of some.

Okay, people who've read Charlie and Will (hereafter to be referred to as either "Chills" or by its working title, "Play It Again, Charlie") I need your last minute complaints/thoughts now, because I've got to get this bitch out before I go insane with it and at this point when I look at it I either blank out or get way too obsessed with commas.

(Delete the comma. Replace the comma. Stare at sentence. Delete the comma. Realize it's not a crucial sentence after all and delete the whole sentence. Scroll down and realize that sentence was actually there to set up something later and was crucial. Oops. Undo "delete". Go back to staring at commas.)

It's getting me nowhere because I can't tell what needs editing anymore. Argh.

I'm gonna go back to reading about Barbados. For research purposes, honestly. It isn't like I can go there.

Current Music: The Chess Soundtrack

Okay...I've glanced around (in a limited amount of time, which is a shame, because there's so much out there that looks yummeh) and I'm torn between Musketeer slash, (Musketeer slash! Period drama! Swords! French people! I can't resist that, you and Rene Villon know this), a short Christmas story with someone confessing his feelings to his best friend (shock! worry! aching longing!, first time sex!), and business colleagues who don't get along because one thinks the other one is slutty (every cliche I've ever written! office romance! hot sex!).

I just don't know. I'll probably end up getting all of them, which is silly because I can't afford them, but I want them.

*torn*

I guess I'll dither about it some more while I giggle at the Fuck Yeah, Ryan Gosling tumblr and all the "Hey Girl" meme responses.

Current Music: The Beastie Boys--Booty

SO. I have no extra money right now, everyone knows this (I bitch enough) so I don't read a lot of professional, published ebooks, though I'd really like to. However, Dreamspinner sent me a coupon for 50% off one ebook for Christmas and I want to use it and use it well.

Any recs? Anything I *need* to read right this second? Something you loved????

Help me. Be that old Crusader in Indiana Jones so you can say, "You have chosen...wisely."
