cornerofmadnessA big thank you to everyone helping with Machiavelli Moon on the original fiction filter. I truly appreciate it guys. I'm going to turn this draft in on tuesday but i'll be working on it since yes, would like to get this agent ready some day soon.
And that's pretty much all I've done. I did write a tiny bit for my original fiction bingo but not enough to share. my word count button isn't moving much either so I'll just leave that alone this time too but that's all right. I think the first 3 chapters are almost in workable shape of Mmoon and that was the important thing.
So I didn't have much to offer in the way of original writing, how about a writing exercise for us all from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Kill your darlings. Pick your favorite character. Kill him or her or other. Write one to three pages of speculation how that story or world would be different without them.
Could be fun.
In totally fanfic writing, I'm stunned to see thatfma_ladyfest generated over 40 entries. That is amazing and reassuring that people DO like and want to see women in fiction. For that matter, seriously guys go check out girlsavesboyfic there is plenty for everyone on my flist, not just the anime freaks. Plenty of Dr. Who, Firefly, Criminal Minds, Merlin etc.
And everyone check out this, especially you Buffy fans. Femme only comment fic. There are just pages of Buffy stuff, some NCIS, Glee, some anime and a whole lot more, lots of True Blood and Vampire Diaries too.
ETA - just got this interesting article on submitting your stories. most of this I already knew but it bears repeating. check it out
