I joined wrisomifu.

I am writing Little Brother fanfic. Because the half a dozen WIPs I already had, just weren't clicking.

When I get this done, I'm going to strangle my muse.

This is one hellishly ass-backwards way to learn Morse code.

In the cold and dark, we mourn those who are gone from us, and cherish the memories of their lives. Among those who have died since last Samhain, these are some whose works touched my life, whose presence in this world I will miss. So it goes.

I've got three Google Voice invites available. Anyone interested? Leave your email address in comments (screened, of course.)

I've started using GV recently, and I love it. It's a great voice mail management application.

	Subject:	Got Recs?
	Security:	Public

I'm looking for fanfic.

I've been reading thete1's DC fic like crazy, and found some that hit hard & deep, just the kind of angst and headgames that's going to leave tracers in my mind for years, and parallels a little too closely some RL stuff going on, and also I'm surviving on 5-6 hours sleep/night right now (which is terrific for reading DC fic, usually), and... I'm feeling a bit battered and raw. In a good way, and when I'm a bit more coherent, I'll send her feedback, 'cos she needs to know (if she didn't already) that some parts were just perfect...

Except, um. Ow. (The story is "A Way So Familiar." Consider this an unfinished rec.)

So I'm looking for something... lighter. Fluff, I suppose. Except I might not be able to tolerate some types of fluff. Point me at something where the characters aren't hurting for all the possibilities they can't have.

We're into week three of Up At 5:30 Ayem to get Kidlet #2 to school on time. I feel like I've settled in for a siege.

There's a cheese slicer next to the computer. (I did remember to put the cheese away. The crackers can wait.) Two plates to my left, with a fork on top; I assume they held dinner at some point. Dunno when; it wasn't last night or the night before. Didn't eat dinner last night, and Sunday we had pizza.

The printer still isn't connected to the spiffy new Vista computer. I am terrified that the drivers for it won't work. Also, the printer's been low on ink for, um, months, and likely needs new ink before it can print. Printer is ancient; it worked on Win95. Still haven't installed all the software I had on the old computer. Also, Vista slows down at odd times and I have to figure out what it's running, and then fret about whether I can safely close processes I don't identify. (I generally don't bother. They seem to be system processes. Mem-expensive ones.)

Cable has deteriorated badly. We need to switch. I'm leaning towards Dish Network; anyone got better things to say about DirectTV? We live in a very urban area, if that matters.

Kidlet #2 wants a "lightning spirit" costume by Friday. This, apparently, involves white, yellow, silver, and shoes that light up when you walk on them. Fortunately, she has that last part. Kidlet #1 is too old for Halloween costumes that you wear to school. She will be wearing a t-shirt with skulls on it.

	Subject:	Feedback/Recs question
	Security:	Public

Here's a question for authors (and artists, although I almost never rec art 'cos dialup internet prevents proper appreciation for most of it)--

How annoying is it to have a fic rec'd by someone who didn't comment on it?

I'm often shy about leaving comments, esp. if feedback involves email as it does on some sites, and not sure what to say. (I'm working on this. There've been some great metafandom posts on "how to leave feedback.") It's also weird to leave feedback on older fic, although the authors certainly seem to appreciate it.

But I'm relatively comfortable telling my f'list, "Story. Here. Guh. Umm, with kink. Do not read at work. Reading on train, also problematic, although might acquire you extra seat space when people notice the sounds you're making." (And by the way, any of my f'list who's into DCU, or might consider being into DCU, or has fond memories of watching Batman & Robin cartoons, should head over to thete1 and read, um, everything. And those of you who've already done this and NOT TOLD ME ABOUT IT are in big trouble. No, you don't get off the hook just 'cos I never talk about comics.)

Um. End digression.

So, does seeing a reclist with your fic from someone you didn't know had even read it, give you a warm fuzzy feeling, or make you think, dammit, she coulda said something to me? Or cause some other reaction?
