Rather a Story

So the lovely and talented maytredici has translated two of my stories into Russian! I am very excited. :D

If you're interested (I don't speak or read Russian, alas), you can find them here:

So spnroundtable appear to have temporarily lost their minds and asked me to do an Ask the Author segment.

If you've ever had any questions, now's the time! You may do so here.

Someone asked me the other day if there was any podfic of my stories. The answer is yes! It didn't occur to me before, but it does now, that it's actually kind of difficult to find. So I'm going to make a list in this post and link to it in my sidebar, that way if people are looking for art/podfic that was based off my fic, they'll be able to find it easily.

Okay! There is writing to be done. Watch me go!

VanCon was amazing.

I have to figure out a way to compile all my tweets from the Con so I can have them in one easy-to-find place. missyjack suggested Storify, but I'm finding it not great for the bulk work I'm trying to do right now. Anyone have suggestions?

Okay. What did I miss? Is everyone okay after/during Irene? Sound off, please, if you get the chance!

I feel like I was living under a Supernatural-shaped rock this weekend. The entire world disappeared and there was nothing but awesome for three whole days. I got more photo ops than usual, since this is the last time in a very long time that I'll be going to a con. Jared looks like he's wincing in the one I had with him, alas, but I think it's because the photographer clicked before he had time to actually smile. Oops.

Also, Jared kept doing double-takes at me every time we crossed paths (which wasn't that often, maybe three or four times). It was really disconcerting and made me wonder if I had something on my face, or what I could possibly have said to make him do that, or maybe if I just resemble someone he knows. Anyway, awkward.

Highlight of the weekend was watching Jensen murder a giant inflatable duck with his pocket knife, à la Dean. To quote Jared (who was just as shocked as we were, I think): "Dean versus duck. Dean wins."

I spent most of the week with elsewhere_kels, and I already miss her like crazy! I also got to meet SO MANY fangirls this time! 4422shini, cordelia_gray, hells_half_acre, borgmama1of5, sandymg, metallideangirl, tahirire, bree_black, annundriel, disneymagics, and so many others I am sure I am forgetting because my brain is now mush.

Corin Nemec is adorable and side-splittingly funny, and I'm quite sure Sebastian Roché was high as well as drunk for the whole weekend. The man is a charming train wreck, really.

*waves to everyone*

It was SO AWESOME to meet you all! I am really happy, if exhausted. :)

I am STUPID and forgot to include the link to the fanmix that huntress69 made for my H50 Big Bang, The Seal.

Go here to download it, and don't forget to leave feedback!

Also, I hope you all have been leaving lots of feedback for my devoted and talented artist, vahly, who worked very hard on the art for the story! A reminder, her post is here.

Go forth, enjoy, and comment!

That will only be funny to people who watch StarGate. Anyway.


I love LJ and I am furious beyond words at the [expletive deleted] who attacked it as a cowardly political ploy to thwart the democratic process. Seriously, hackers: screw you sideways with something dull and rusty.

That being said, I do make a point of cross-posting pretty much everything I write. If LJ ever goes down again I will be posting in these alternate locations first, and then coming back here when access returns. I will be updating my links list on my LJ sidebar to reflect this too.

You can find me at the following places:

Fanfiction.net: aka the Pit of Voles. I cross-post everything but my RPF there. I also post under a different handle (my original net handle that I don't use for fic anymore but haven't changed on ff.net). Mousme

AO3: aka Archive of Our Own. I'm at ratherastory

Dreamwidth: ratherastory

I FINISHED! I finished writing The Big Bang That Would Not Die™!

It clocks in at 96,857 words. Yup. That's about 17k more than I thought it would be.







No, really, I mean it!

The wonderful and talented nickelmountain has recorded a podfic of The Empty Vessel! I am so excited I could burst!

This is the first time I've listened to one of her podfics, and she has a gorgeous voice, all low and sultry. It feels like she's caressing all the words with her voice, and I want to listen to it over and over and over.

Go here and check it out!

Okay, sent in my draft. It's currently at a little over 60k, and is complete, if in very bare-bones format. Doubtless when I go back in and fix it, the wordcount will go up. You know, when I add in things like adjectives and feelings. :P

Guh.

Going to bed.

The rest of this week is going to be devoted to other long-neglected fic commitments, and then I'm going RIGHT BACK to writing this monster.
