writerly thoughts and a contest

[cornerofmadness]

I'm going back and really editing Machiavelli Moon hard. I'm totally mystified by some of the stuff that's in here, some of the attitudes i should say. Some are very negative toward things I acutally like....it's like um what's this about? It makes sense coming from Sulien who was kept by sexual sadists for about 100 years but why does everyone else sound like him? Weird. DEFINITELY needs fixing.

Also wondering if I can a) find some of my old Cauldron stories. I based three of my characters there after my Mmoon characters and b) can I rip off my own stories to flesh out some of the later scenes in Mmoon where i have to slow down and expand the villians


Also I along with many of my flist have been nominated for the UFO awards which are multifandom (lots of anime, Dresden AND Jossverses to keep people happy) check out all the cool stories and vote not necessarily for me but do have a look and vote as the stories impress you.

Also circlet press has an LJ...maybe they always have but this is the first time I came across it on google. circletpress. They're open right now to submissions!. Go erotica.

speaking of impressing... Dollhouse has UTTERLY failed to do so. I'm pretty much done.

Okay for a long time i was wondering why anyone would hire out a thief but it seems the organization did the hiring which made more sense...and it looks like the big bad is finally showing up with this not so dead guy but who the hell cares at this point? It's dull and rather poorly acted. Unlike most my flist I don't even find Eliza that pretty.

This last eppy went off the rails for me almost instantly. One why would ANYONE hire this group to deliver a baby? I mean real midwives and docs are a dime a dozen. That made no kind of sense at all. And frankly I found the whole 'wow she has shoulders like a line backer' cue Dad's panic, 'she's a LESBIAN' to be unfunny and rather offense. Worse, it served absolutely no purpose at all. TO me this is just one giant miss of a concept

I watched the premiere of Dollhouse and promptly forgot it existed.

That cannot be said for The Dresden Files premiere ep, which left me going, "Wha? Huh?" After reading the novels, that show is just...strange. Nicholas Cage, I KNOW you can do better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Nicholas was in it?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Executive producer.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh...i had no idea

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I read the credits. :D

Are you going to post Machiavelli Moon again once you're done editing it? I'd be interested in reading it.

Dollhouse is turning out to be sadly meh. I keep watching it hoping it'll get better. I kinda liked the second episode but the last two have had some major problems. Agreed about the midwife thing: wtf?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i forgot to post ch 3

I missed the second one and the three out of four i did see were irritating and more or less offensive to me so I think I'm done

Is MMoon fanfic or original? Any fandom I may know? I like to read a good fic when I have the time for it. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's original. I do have a filter for that.

as for fanfic, there's a glut of that in memories

[enemytosleep]

It's cool. ^_^

I'll have to take a looksie sometime.

sadly i'm a real putz when it comes to tagging what's what in memories

I've already voted for you guys on UFO good luck!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

wheee! thanks

Enough time has passed that you can be dispassionate about edits. Cool!

The concept behind Dollhouse bugs me, so I'm not really interested in watching it. :/

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

lots and lots of time so yes, in that respect it's helpful

Yeah ditto. Oddly enough my friend Chris C-G wrote Dolls which is the same idea using Spike 100's of years down the road....and it was MEANT to be disturbing. I'mnot sure what Dollhouse is meant to give me
