I've started selling some handmade items on Etsy. I would appreciate any help in getting the word out. I will continue to add items, and I do have a "request custom item" link in the sidebar of the store screen.

A lot of the current stock are either one-off samples, or remaining from sales in other venues. Some of the other things I can make are sewn accessories, more complicated mini hats and hair accessories, different sizes for existing item styles, dollhouse miniatures, and artwork.

Additionally, if you have a favorite fandom, or fandom character, I can create accessories inspired by that source. I do not replicate designs and logos from licensed merchandise, but I am happy to use colors and motifs from your source in my work.

I don't expect friends listers to support me financially, but any feedback, suggestions, and help in promoting would be appreciated. Thanks!

O Cybertron!
Our home and divine land!
Loyal programing in every line command.
With glowing sparks we see thee shine,
The Source Code true and free!
Through space and time,
O Cyberton, we pledge our bond to thee.
Spark keep our Lord Protector and Prime!
O Cybertron, we pledge our bond to thee.
O Cybertron, we pledge our bond to thee.

People who know me sometimes say in a complimentary manner that I have excellent attention to detail. It is, sometimes, a good thing. I can recall some seemingly trivial fact that provides a solution, or notice something out of place, or come up with a thorough description. Attention to detail, rather over-attention, or fixation with detail is at other times, a failing of mine. When I get so focused on determining the precisely perfect fact for a backstory, without finishing the overall plot.

The timeline is killin' me, again.( Read more...Collapse )

I am seeking volunteer test readers for a draft of an unpublished Dark Fantasy genre novel manuscript, in preparation of a re-write.

I need readers, comfortable with mature content, including theological issues, angelic and demonic characters, vampirism, violence, drug use and some sex. Selected volunteer readers should be willing to read a work apx. 130,000 words/300 pages, in the space of 1-2 months; and offer simple written feedback on what they like or dislike. No grammatical expertise is required. Readers are not expected to perform editorial duties. Readers should be willing to give general feedback on the story, how well they understood it, related to the characters, or felt satisfied.

The manuscript in question is planned to be rewritten with alternate P.O.V.(s), and all feedback will be used to inform the author during this process.

A 952KB PDF will be available for download or transfer via email, to selected readers.

Dear Botcon, going friends,

Please harass authorities to reveal the Universal Stream designation for the "Prime" Universal Stream. Some fans have suggested Trinex or Trimax. The Formspring role-players are jokingly calling it Primavera! I'm hoping for something like Hubrix or vaguely periodic-table-related, like Hubtrinium or Hubtanium (Because Aurex, and Gargent sound like aurum and argent (gold and silver), and Malgus is like some combo of magnesium and aluminum, from opposite sides of the table...not that I really think that's how they did it).

So, I had this weird dream today, that was like a horror movie. I'm not sure I still remember the details, but I remember the general story:
