The purpose of a story is that it's a story. It can be more, but it can never be less.

The (Real) Announcement · 8:09am Apr 3rd, 2015

My April Fools gag this year fooled apparently no one. Ah well, I was bound to strike out at some point.

I am not retiring from fanfiction. Yet.

I've taken my three accepted stories as a sign that it's time to finally knuckle down and start writing my book. Starting May 15th, I'm setting aside one hour a day, every day, to work on my first fully original piece longer than 3000 words. My goal is to have a first draft, ready to show to publishers, done no later than Christmas.

The Announcement · 5:48am Apr 1st, 2015

So you're all expecting news, eh? Well, here it is.

I'm retiring.

Not from writing, mind you, but from fan fiction. My recent news that I'm soon to be published is a sign that it's time for me to stop all this wankery and nonsense and start working on more serious things.

Don't worry, Continuity fans, I'm sure that Swirling, Yami, or Aragon can take the stories up and finish them. In any case, here's the remaining plot for the trilogy.

Only the Most Incredible News I Can Think Of · 5:30pm Mar 19th, 2015

I've just been informed that three of my short stories (including the human version of 'Bon Temps') have been accepted for publishing in the Blackwater Review, the campus literary magazine.

That's right; Jade Ring's getting published!

In the very near future, I'll put the other two stories here as blog exclusives. Then... I have some major news.

Everything is different now.

The Writer's Crisis: A Message for My Readers · 4:51am Feb 22nd, 2015

(This may be slightly rambling. I'm writing from the heart.)

...I miss when things were simple.

Dear Sweetie Belle: 9,664
Heat of the Moment: 9,795

Someone much smarter than me once told me that sex sells. And another smart person once said that it is a poor writer indeed who does not write for himself.

New Contest: Whose Line is it Anyway? · 8:31am Feb 17th, 2015

Yup, it's the first contest of 2015.

Since I'm devoting most of my attention to school and the first couple chapters of 'Ages and Ages More,' I think I've found a fun way to keep the intrigue of 'Changelings' going strong.

I'm going to post a line of dialogue from some upcoming chapters of 'Changelings.' No context, just dialogue. Your job, my faithful followers, is to tell me the following;

1. Character that says the line.

Shipping Day Update · 6:53am Feb 14th, 2015

"Get in loser, we're going shipping."

Ah, the day hopeless romantics like myself wait for every year.

Allow me to take a break from finalizing my wonderful plans to ensure the missus has a wonderful Valentine's to update ya'll on some things.

And on the 28th Day... There Were 600 · 6:33pm Jan 28th, 2015

I love you each more and more as time goes on.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have anything special ready for this illustrious occasion. What would you like? Another FAQ/AMA? A video? Me to continue my streak and keep banging out chapters of 'Changelings?'

Just tell me, and it's yours.

In the mean-time, you keep reading and I'll keep writing.









...Oh, and also there's a sequel to 'Heat of the Moment' coming.

What's In a Name? · 8:35am Jan 7th, 2015

The choice of someone's username is one thing all of us have in common. All of us looked within ourselves at some point and chose the name by which hundreds (sometimes thousands) of people all over the world would know us by.

My question is thus; where did yours come from?

Mine;

2014: The End of Year Review · 9:42am Dec 31st, 2014

To send the year out right, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my output this year and compare how I felt about it then to how I feel about it now. I'll also point out a few of my favorite new fics from the past year. Feel free to chime in in the comments.

NOTE: I'm not including the in-progress stories in this.

'Just a Glimpse/Suddenly, Spikey'
