    The cake is a lie
    It was not nice of my SO to say, "You're feeling useless? Try playing Portal!"

    He swears that there was at least one point at which I was glaring at the screen and I exclaimed, "You know, it would be really great if I could just teleport. ...oh."

    Evil.

    Sarah Jane Adventures - The story no one wants
    Presently at 1500 words.

    It wants to be a casefile with falling in love and pining, and it hopes someday to grow up into a big, strong, fully-fledged story that requires a warning or two in big letters -- one for "Adult" and one for "Content some readers may find disturbing."

    How do I get myself into these things?

    Current Mood: chagrined
    Current Music: "No, *my* Sarah Jane!"

    Story, notes, and warnings



    ETA: Only one's beta-reader can manage to write one a sequel before one has even posted. Betty wrote That Vanished Abode there Far Apart, gen, and it may or may not be what happens next, depending on one's point of view.

    Current Mood: free at last
    Current Music: (Chekhov's marital aid? What? That's not a song.)
    5:34 pm
    Did anyone get the license plate of that muse?
    Apparently, all I had to do to get a story idea that will require major worldbuilding and be cheerfully extensible was to write a 92 page novella that goes, "Smut smut smut smut smut, caper, smut smut smut smut smut smut SMUT, action, SMUT SMUT did I mention SMUT SMUT SMUT emo and dismount!"

    (Novella to be posted later.)

    (Wrists to file for divorce next week.)

    (Giglet gives excellent book recommendations.)

    Current Mood: blessed, possibly
    Current Music: I'm still your creator

    It's a good thing one can't vid books
    I have wanted the Good Omens vid to Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell for quite a long time. Say what you like about Best of Queen albums (and one should), there's something about an album that starts with:

    "If I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned dancin' through the night with you!"

    And continues through an entire song called "Heaven Can Wait," and --

    This is one of those things I believe.

    Current Mood: wistful
    Current Music: And I never see the sudden turn 'til it's way too late

    Series: This is not a prequel to A bird in the hand.

    Dick spots the pattern of the man's jacket from across the bar.

    Current Mood: intoxicated
    Current Music: I never had the least notion that I could fall with such emo

    Summary: Everyone has a breaking point.
    Pairing: Laura Roslin/Lee Adama
    Rating: Adult.
    Thanks: Carla for encouraging and beta-reading.

    One could, in fact, argue that she's entitled to take what she wants.

    (I am still in the process of updating my website, and will publicize it when finished, but there was a general call for things other than Harry Potter to read, and this has been waiting for the right moment.)

    Current Mood: ready to snap
    Current Music: Made of plastic and elastic, he is rugged and long-lasting

    Moving house
    I am in the process of updating my website rather than moving everything over here, as I am not feeling trusting enough to assume that this will be around terribly long.

    However, if you've been reading Petronelle over on livejournal, do come in and make yourself at home.
