This morning I finished the first draft of Returning Home. It's a week over schedule and 35k when I was aiming for 20k but it's done.

I had to do some social things today, which was knackering so I'll away to my bed soon, and I'm going to give myself tomorrow to do stuff like do the dishes, and vacuum, and perhaps even order dog food and pick up my asthma meds...y'know, the stuff that seems unimportant when your brain is consumed with the big questions like, did they eat kedgeree in New York in 1874.

I have a bunch of messages to answer and comments to reply to which I'll make a start on tomorrow but it might take me til Friday to get down to them all, as I have a beta to do and an arc review to get on with, which get priority as both those people have waited far too long already.

In other news...my dog is still awesome...my Wayward AF teeshirt came...you guys have been super kind about my bb...I walked the dog with my flies open this evening...

Also, All Romance Books are having a sale thing, 50% off with a rebate thingy, so you can pick up loads of m/m books half price including Home... for $1.75. Clickety the picture to go there.




*coughs*also grab anything by Jordan L Hawke or Charlie Cochrane*coughs*

Oh, and Happy Fourth of July, 'Mercans! I wanted to find the clip of the Glowworm in James and the Giant Peach when they land in New York and she calls out "God Bless the colonies!" coz it's hilarious but I got nothing on YouTube. So, instead have this gorgeous version of the SSB.



Love your faces xxx

So, I'm doing the cover letter thing for the New Writers' Scheme thing, and I have to say what genre Stumble Forward falls into.

M/M Romance doesn't seem quite right to me. Yes, it's technically that but given the level of angst and heartbreak, do you think that I should say it's M/M Romantic Drama...or some other kind of thing?

And yes, I am overthinking this. How can you tell? : )

I have no idea what I'm doing : ( xx

ETA I will shut up about this eventually, I promise xx

I wasn't able to participate much this year but I did get a couple of things done.

( My contributions )

Gigantic thank you to all the Bunker of Doom team members who always make this such fun, and for picking up my slack when I had to bail on all y'all. You truly rock!!

...or not, and fucking hate yourself for it.

NEEDED!!

- A New Yorker with infinite patience and a reasonable knowledge of the city and it's workings, that I can fire questions at in no discernible order, so I don't end up sounding like an idiot for mentioning places that I may have passed through once with horrendous jet lag or glanced at on a map and thought, "Meh, that sounds okay." or have made up from watching too much Castle, Cagney and Lacey, and Murder She Wrote.

I will owe you any number of favours. And possibly sex.

Okay, first off I want to say a massive thank you to Karri for choosing my picture. I have been the nightmare artist that everyone complains about and she has been so patient and sweet...please, please go check out her story, I know she's worked really hard on it.

I'm not going to say a lot about this just...boys with wings : )

I kept some screenshots of the making of...I've been watching a lot of photoshop tutorials and trying to think a little less fine art and more graphic novel. Not sure how that's going but I really enjoyed making this picture. There's a couple of close ups but you should be able to zoom in on the final pic to get a better look.

The decision to add a parchment texture to the title card was last minute but I'm pretty happy with it.

Anyway...wings : ) x


( Stages of development )( Couple of close ups )

Powercut.

Awesome.

I did it! Three, count them...THREE...RBB entries submitted. They look like crap right now but they are in! Now, I just have to podfic and edit 10k of torture porn by Friday and I'm back on schedule *whimpers*

In RL news, I had a query from someone wanting to commission 4k's worth of art, this evening...Yay \0/...except the images they wanted a recommission of, weren't mine...awkward. Nevermind.

I made a happy dance gif to cheer myself up, so there's that.

Any podficcers hosted by paraka?   I finally got the ftp thingy to work but I'll be fucking damned if it won't let me access the files in a URL. It says I need to put something into the advanced options...but I have no idea what.

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!

I've been trying to make this work for 6 months and it's driving me nuts!!

Any advice gratefully recieved xx

GISHERS! We did it! Are you all in one piece? I feel totally destroyed, bemused and kinda grossed out at how much housework I'm going to have to do after leaving everything this week. My kitchen is disgusting.

Over at spn_bunker, we're kinda celebrating as it was our team's first year and we're feeling pretty pleased that we managed to get so many things done. Anyway brightly_lit posted these questions as a debrief....so yeah. That. Or rather this...

( What was the worst part? The clothespins. Definitely the clothespins. )
