spam and whatnot

Rented the Punisher. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Bought both the Angel and Buffy fan mags which I don't always do but they were interviewing both Sarah and David and Mom offered to buty them so I did and I'm glad. There is FINALLY an ANgel soundtrack. Angel; LIve Fast. Die Never but sadly it's ONLY available in the UK. (you can get it on line but they don't say where.) It appears to be orchestral which is cool by me but get this piece of stupidity. "Fox had, more or less, a policy of believing that soundtrack albums should only be released after a show has been cancelled." Yes let's wait until a show tanks before giving the fans what they want. Now, I could see holding off for a season, maybe two but you've got a show on for 5 years, I think there's reason to believe a soundtrack would sell well (they also refuse to pay for a Buffy like soundtrack with songs from the show)

now onto the spam.

Awards and Ficathons

Yes just because I posted about NOT doing any ficathons any more, Leni comes up with her CYA ficathon round three. This is one you most definitely want to think about because it IS special. You list your strengths, weaknesses and interests as a writer and when the thing kicks off you get to peruse all the replies and pick your top few choices and Leni assigns based on that. Why is this so special? This way you KNOW the person shares your interests for a character that way if you want Spaith (which I forgot to add to my list of pairing's I'll write) and you see another Spaith writer you can at least try for them. (unlike if this was a Spike generalist ficathon and you get selected to do Spara or something yuo can't do). Trust me it's fun.

Then ELD puts up info on the Redux-Remix and rather than reexplain it all just follow the link since ELD has up all the pertain info. What makes this special? It's HARD. You get assigned to rewrite someone else's story  (check out my Mirrors of the Soul for an example) from another character's pov. It's harder than it sounds. The only trouble I had was, I can't remember if they allow you to put in what you are and aren't interested in because the person I was remixing is about 80% slash which left me little choices which was the only thing I didn't care for but that's the luck of the draw I guess.

And on the rewards. I won two runner ups from the Holding My Hand awards. They're going to be combined with another award site into a new award site but I don't have that info yet.

I won runner up for best NC-17 for A Storm of Roses - you know this one, it's the one with the KINK warning. Connor, art students, gypsy girlfriend, unexpected visit from Dad. ( Read more... )

And runner up for angst for Memory of a Lost Paradise - Does this box of Crayons story even need introducing again. Buffy, Connor, little Sorcha and a stubborn ass Angel. ( Read more... )

Lost Drabbles

This was interesting. I think some of these could be close to others since they are so obvious (Wes, Buffy, Angel) but hopefully my take is different enough to be interesting. Others are a little more esoteric. As always Mr. Whedon owns all rights and all are PG-13

 And this last one is from a series of stories I've co-written. Head to a Box of Crayons if you're interested in seeing the full-length stories and enjoy.
