Days of do nothing…
Today is a decidedly lazy day. I finally got the search box off the top of my blog, which was a huge eyesore, and now I’m thoroughly loving my new home. WordPress takes a little getting used to, but it’s worth it to have a little corner of my world that’s not as open as Xanga.
I’ve been writing. Last night I worked on Knife of Romance, and with any luck, I’ll finish revising it today and post it by tonight or tomorrow. It’s not an explosive chapter at all, but a build up to others. This story will be done soon. I know some people look at it and see all of these “avenues” that can be explored, but I don’t. I’ve had the ending in my head for a long, long time, and when I get there, this story will end. I’m not into writing epics anymore (Remember Edge of Seventeen? Never again.) From this point on, if I can’t wrap a story up in 25 chapters (or less), I either won’t do it, or I will butcher it. I never cared for ridiculously long stories, so I’m not going to start churning them out. Hell, I can barely finish anything as it is!
I have a few others on my burner, and I really want to finish Treasure on the Tide, but I can’t say for sure when that will be. TOTT’s next chap is nearly done, so I’m going to try to shove that out after KOR -with any luck.
As usual, fandom is bursting at the seams with wank and asshattery. I’ve been yanked into it, to a degree (aren’t I fucking always? These bitches seriously ride the short bus), but I refuse to get directly involved with that back and forth shit. It’s totally beneath me, and besides, that’s what they want. They get some cheap thrill like two dollar hookers when you indulge their douche-baggery, and I, for one, don’t have time for it. I actually have a JOB and I don’t live in my mom’s basement, nor am I a bored housewife, or whatever these airheads do with their time when they’re not being wanktards. (Then again, when are they ever not being wanktards? Must be interesting to be known for wank and nothing else. How proud they must be.)
On the website front, I’m getting ready to commission more art from Maria-nee-chan, and Eternal Destiny is going to have a contest. It will probably be announced sometime in April. As always, there will be banners and tangible prizes, and the theme is a fun one, so yay. I’m also going to be re-skinning The Boiler Room soon and that should also be fun. (Yup, with custom fanart, of course) It’s still much quieter than ED, but we’ve had a 150 member jump in the past couple of months, so no complaints.
I’m currently downloading Ian Somerhalder films because he’s fucking hot. Yes, I’m being very shallow and I don’t care. 😛 If you don’t know my obsession with Lost yet, well, here is where I tell you that I have an obsession with Lost. My favorite character was Boone, and though he’s not there anymore, I still adore him, or rather, Ian. So I’ve been looking at his filmography and found 3 movies that I want to watch: The Rules of Attraction, The Lost Samaritan, and Pulse. I’ll let y’all know if they were good. Hell, they’ll be good just because he’s in them. Mhmm, I’m biased, too.
Ciao!

First of all, WOW … great effin pic!!
Second of all … Hey!! Now you KNOW how much I love EOS … but I feel ya and know where you’re coming from, sistah! But you nail anything that you do whether it’s a 50 word shortie or a full blown epic. So it’s all good 😀 Can’t wait for the updates.
… and that’s precisely why we are now here and no longer there 😛

Isn’t it, though? It was the Best Angst award pic at the FA last term and just whoa. Gorgeous visuals.
I knew you’d get me, lol. I’m done with long fics, not that I’ve ever really done them. My friend once told me, “What I like about you is that you’re not known for just one story. You have a lot of writers with big, epic shit, and that’s the only story they’ll ever be remembered for. But you, you have so many that you can’t be eternally tied to just one.” So that’s a big part of staying off epics. I don’t want to be “one-fic Sally”, lol.
And fuck yeah that’s why we’re here. May not be as busy, but the asshattery is gone and that’s worth a little sacrifice. Plus, this is the “lovelie” journal where I post what fic is coming next, etc. I’m not a “blogger”, hence why I barely show my face at LJ. I don’t feel the need to share stuff 4 times a day. Hell, if it’s 4 times in a month I consider it a big deal.

It is looking better without that search tab.
*bounces* More to KoR? *Beams*
Can’t wait! Which reminds me…. Must do more EoS, True Colours, In His Eyes, Playing the Angel… (stories moar!) reviewing Love. *glomps*
Yah.. I’ve seen the wankfest and I’ve been rolling my eyes as I reach for eyedrops. Then I bathe to get their wankscum off which is worse than poking and prodding and studying the insides of a freshly road-killed doe (can vouch for that). I wish I could remember what it’s called but it has to do with the intensity of the Narcissistic personality. (Was on The View just last week) That they are so incredibly jealous of the achievements/attention/great things the one they hate gets that they HAVE to do whatever they can to attack them to ‘bring them down’ into the mud.
I can’t wait to see the skins for ED and for the contest!! *huggles* Think I’m going to try my hand in this time!
*waggles brow* Nothing shallow about wanting to see what other roles he’s played in. Maybe gets some lovely Fan service scenes? *smirks*

Nikkie!
KOR is kicking my ass. I’m going to be honest. I have a real issue with finishing stories -and starting them. The middle isn’t so bad, but ending them, more than anything, is a beating for me. It wasn’t always this way, but as i move away from fanfic it becomes harder to sew these tings up. That’s why I have so many fictions with 3 chapters or less to go that have been sitting for a calendar year. *cringe* EOS should have been done 1.5 years ago, and I’m still sitting on an 80% written final chapter. It’s a train wreck, lol.
I haven’t read any of the wank about myself -I never do- but I realize that this is what you said it was: Petty jealousy at work. I don’t know these people, have never had any dealings with them, and yet, they keep me on the brain, so it has to be that they’re jealous. Normally, I wouldn’t entertain that kind of narcissism -that’s their style, not mine- but I’m inclined to agree and accept their buffoonery as such. 0.~ I mean, seriously, when you think about it, who are these people? What are they “famous” for? Wank? Is that seriously their claim to fame? If so, then that’s pretty fucking sad, don’t ya think? LOL. Pathetic wastes of sperm.
I still haven’t decided what the header art will be (blame writing and the FA!), but I’m hoping ED will look good for the summer and the contest will be a nice way to kick it off. I don’t know if anyone will enter, but it will be fun all the same. And yesh, try your hand! We need more fun stories. 😀
I can’t end this response without an Ian Somerhalder pic. That boy is FINE. I die for those eyes….
