Okay, so some of you might remember that about a million years ago I wrote a Corner/mythos crossover crackfic called “Loki vs. Cthulhu, Battle Start!“. I didn’t think it was too bad, considering the ludicrous premise, and I remember back-patting myself at the time for figuring out a half-plausible sounding way for Cthulhu to die. [...]
Me ‘n’ randomredux. We were talking the other day about how after we become BIG FAMOUS WRITERS OMG we’re going to stage a coup at DC. I told Random he could take the Superman books, while I’d write for Batman; hence the title of the pic (oh, Dee, what a witty pun). I should probably [...]
So I went and signed up for InsaneJournal and JournalFen the other day, mostly just to test the Glue and see how sk.log handles multiple journal crossposting. Really well, as it turns out, so now those journals are mirrors of this one. Also, there’s a new home for Yummy Delicious — the Delicious Glue interface [...]
Oh yeah. Remember how I was talking yesterday about having set up Delicious Glue? Well, you guys can use it too, if you want. Because I like looking though other people’s links. First you will need an account at LiveJournal, InsaneJournal or JournalFen. Second, a del.icio.us account. del.icio.us is a social bookmarking tool; grab it, [...]
So one of the ladies at work just came up to me, obviously freaked out, and asked if I was any good with spiders. I was like, “Not really,” but when she told me there was a great big one in the stairwell, I got a stack of paper towels and valiantly descended to the [...]
So here’s the deal: I was reading fic recently and in my irritation at bad writing came up with the following list of four things that really annoy me. Watch in awe as I attempt to explain why, as well as offer potentially helpful exercises for you (and me) to train yourselves (and myself) out [...]
So maybe I can disbelieve my co-workers, but the internet seems pretty sure. Is it bad or just denial to immediately think of viral marketing? Edit: And LiveJournal’s slowed to a crawl, too. That’s a eulogy right there.
So today I went and dragged Mat out to see Cloverfield. The reactions I’ve seen to the film have either been really, really positive or gut-wrenching hatred so I wasn’t exactly sure what to think going in. I’ve had a poke around the marketing for the film and as I’m sure you know I’m a [...]
Life’s a funny thing, you know. I was watching rage this morning when I was hit with one of those moments of gross incongruity, so sharp and loud that I laughed out loud. Because you see, kids, rage played a Midnight Oil song. “The Power and the Passion” to be exact. Now, I loves me [...]
I decided yesterday that my bugbear in fanfic is a simple thing. There are a lot of things that I don’t like — everything from bad writing to RPS — but there’s only one thing that really gets my back up enough for me to bother to sit down and write a vehement log post [...]
