Still holding off on the concert report until I get the pics from doombuggie, but this is the opening act.

Yes, this song was performed. There was a cover of "Beth" by Kiss as well.

Doing relatively well, I think! Let's see how many words I can cram in tomorrow.

I've been pleasantly surprised to find that Ash is nearly as easy for me to write as Kefka, and a lot less brain-breaking, too.

Although I want to know what possessed him to be all flirty, in a very strange and snarky way, with Daniel. Sage will not approve. Isaak... ...Will probably ask if he can watch.

Can't seem to wake up.

Concert account will come when I get pix from doombuggie.

I sleep more.

Title: Lost and Held
Author: gatewaygirl
Characters: Sirius, Peter
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Castration, sex, cross-dressing, manipulation
Themes/kinks chosen: Eunuchs/Castrati, Costumes
Word Count: 5,317
Summary: An accident gives Sirius and Peter a shared secret
Author's notes: November prompts included the theme "eunuchs/castrati". It's listed in the tags as "castration", which would have been a rather different story. I have been as accurate as I could manage with the theme, but certainly do not guarantee all details are correct. ;-) Thanks to Clauclauclaudia for very short-notice beta work.

I can't believe I am having these thoughts again!

Should I or shouldn't I?

drusillas-rain asked, "How long have you been writing? Have you written original fic? Can we expect to see more stories like Spooky Little Girl or was that a one-off? How do you and arionrhod collaborate together (the process)?"

I've written about our collaboration process before here, and even though I wrote that in 2007, it's still pretty accurate regarding our process. The only thing that's changed in the last two years is that we've moved toward writing more single POV stories than the alternating RP style.

As for more SNB next gen stories... We'd been kicking around the idea of writing one for a while, and we finally got around to doing it. "Spooky Little Girl" was a lot of fun to write, and we like the characters a great deal. Although we don't have concrete, specific plans for another next gen story, I'd say it's likely we'll write the kids again. Some of them proved to be quite... vocal about having their stories told, although I can't say when we'll get to it.

I wasn't sure if the first two questions were for me alone or for me and Arionrhod together, so I'll answer both ways.

I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. My earliest memories of writing is of writing what could be called Disney fanfiction. As I grew older, I branched out into bad hobbit, bad dragon rider, and bad wolf rider fanfiction, with a dollop of bad teen angst rhymed couplet epic poems thrown in for good measure. I've dabbled in original writing and had a few short stories published, and I got thisclose to getting a Regency romance novel accepted before the publishing company I submitted it to closed the Regency line. I've got a manuscript I've been tinkering with for years, and some day, I would like to finish it and try to get it published.

Arionrhod and I have been collaborating since August, 2004, and we've actually toyed with some original writing. We've played with the idea of turning the "Blood Bathory" concept into a novel, and we've done some brainstorming on a steampunk idea, but I think we need to stop getting distracted by fanfiction if we want any hope of finishing some original writing, either together or separately. There are only so many hours in a day, after all, and we're both busy with our jobs and relatives (and knitting! *G*), so if we focus on fanfiction, the original writing goes by the wayside and vice versa.

Maybe we'll get the original muses in gear after we finish all our holiday fest writing!

As some of you know, yesterday included a trip to the vampires and some of the usual testing. So, yeah, that tires me out anyway. But then, one of my closest friends called upset and in tears.

Let me say, cancer sucks.

Five years ago, she had to have a hysterectomy because of cancer. This past summer she finally hit her 5-year clear mark. Then yesterday she found out she has breast cancer.

Talk about a slap in the face. *sighs*

So, anyway. My mood still sucks. I can hold onto pissiness like nobody else. But, for Michi, I'm trying to let it go and be upbeat and what have you. We'll see how that works out.

Thanks for the emails. I didn't respond to them all, as some of you told me not to and for once I listened. But they did mean a lot. So, yeah, thanks for that.

The master list for qaf_scavenger's Fall Contest is up. Lots of icons, headers, vids, and fic... even a few from me. ;)

Go read, look, watch and leave everyone some love!

The master list is up for the QAF Challenges weather/vacation challenge. So, yeah, I can claim my ficlet. *g*
