    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

This is what happens when I plan on writing. · 3:54am May 6th, 2013

The new Sonnets is nearly up, but it was been since about two days since the last chapter.

First time I planned on writing it I became incredibly ill... Then it screwed up my meds... Then I lost internet and access to the documents... And now, just as I finish another scene, my brand new laptop decides that biological warfare isn't enough.

So my brand new laptop is broken.

I've hooked up the old Batcomputer to my old laptop through the E-Sata cables, which then daisy-chains onto the new laptop's harddrive to check for faults using the working display of the old laptop.

You see, the old laptop's power supply is shot, so I've cannabilized the old desktop into a glorified power supply, whilst the motherboard and harddrive of my new laptop is not operational, so I'm using the old laptop with the new laptop's harddrive tacked on as a raid.

This is three goddamn machines working in a symphony of dysfuction. I'm in heaven, or hell, I'm not entirely sure yet.

Turns out the harddrive is fine but the connection between the harddrive to the motherboard is fucked. Beyond fucked, even. This is now just a fancy goddamn paperweight and it had an assessment due today on it... And the partitioned harddrive, because I hadn't factored in that being the only thing to NOT goddamn fail.

In lighter news, I dub my three-computer circle-jerk monstrosity "Daisy-Chainkenstein" Also I have received an official correspondence with ThermalTake for pointing out grammatical errors in their ads. Hooray!

UPDATE: IT LIVES.

Seconded. Begin backups yesterday.

Sadly enough, I've a backup of a backup.

~Skeeter The Lurker

Oh, I have backups, and backups of backups.

I have a partitioned harddrive, two externals and all my documents are also in online cloud storage... So I haven't *lost* anything, it's just rather unfortunate that I have nothing to work with at the moment.
