Expecting Trouble is going to an end.

I’m working on the last part to Expecting Trouble right now in fact. I took a break when my keyboard melted from the heat. Days like this are why I hate living in Florida.

Did get a chance to catch up a little on PPMB, now I’m only two or three weeks behind.  I did notice that Doggieboy posted another part to Scarlett’s Tale. I’m a sucker for all his Apocalyptic Daria tales.

I have to mention the funest Daria tale I read in a while. Don’t Wound What You Can’t Kill. I loved it. It’s by thatLONERchick. It’s out on PPMB or FanFiction.net.

 

I’ve got to figure out what I’m going to do after I finish Expecting Trouble. Should I go real world like Expecting Trouble or something more flashy like some of my other stories. (On the Clock, Of Metal and Men, Avalon etc etc.) Maybe both. Ummmmm.

 

I’ll have to think about it for awhile.

Been Another While

Well I’ve been running around like a chicken with my head cut off but I finally managed to post an update to Expecting Trouble.

Also in case anyone is interested I’m posting a Neon Genesis Evangelion story over on FanFiction.Net. Balanced Returned. It’s not to bad.

Well another day of beautiful weather down here in Florida. For a duck maybe.

Now I’ve got to go get caught up on the posts over at PPMB so have fun.

Been Awhile

Welcome to another wonderful week.

It’s been awhile since I posted and I’m pretty sure there are hordes of people who have been crying their eyes out over that. Ok maybe two.

one?

Anyway. I’m running a few stories over at PPMB at the moment.

On the Clock is a Watchman style superhero tale. Mostly about Quinn joining a superhero team setup by Daria after years of being a Punisher/Rorschach type. Part 4 is up currently. I think there is going to be six parts in total.

Complications is a take off on the events of My Night at Daria’s with one tiny little change. (Sorry Tom)  It’s on part 8 of ten at most.

Expecting Trouble, this is a little angst fest that hopefully is going to stir up some trouble. Quinn is knocked up at fifteen. She’s keeping the baby and the whole town is about to offer up a piece of their minds. Part 3 is the current.

Lots of good stuff out there on PPMB. Doggieboy is running Things Fall Apart so that’s worth a stop over there just for that.

Turnabout Confusion seems to be heading for a grand finale after going for what? Over a year I think. I’m going to miss that one when it’s done.

I’m doing Script Frenzy this month and with half the month gone I haven’t made much progress. The format is taking some adjusting to get use to it.

Everybody take it easy and have a good week.

The Horror oh the horror!

I decided to replace my three year old frankstein computer and just as I was doing so, my "never going to die" hard drive did just that. 300 gigs of data gone in a blink. Now I had a backup program that I had free access to for awhile and all the data is safely backed up but it apparently uses parity to increase compression time. So I've spent the last two weeks trying to decompress and piece together file chunks to rebuild things like oh lets say ... all the freaking Daria episodes. I went insane three days ago by the way. That plus a few people I work with have granted me access to their music and movie files to give me something to run on for awhile.

 

But I digress, I managed to update Complications and Other Side finally.  Lots of great stuff being posted so I've got to catch up on my reading now as well.

Still waiting for the booties announcement.

 

Hope everyone is having a better week than I am but hey here's some motivational messages that work for me.

"Smile, it's going to get worse."

"Just keep telling yourself that you're a bad person and you deserve this."

"Someday you will tell people that these were the good old days."

"The wheel turns, it just never feels like it when it's on top of you."

Not really a reason.

Ok so I have this thing. Lets call it an internal alarm clock. Every morning I wake up before whatever time my alarm clock is set for. It usually or rather used to be about fifteen minutes. Now it's exactly an hour. Understandably this is a good thing in that I don't ever over sleep but it leaves me with an extra hour that I'm to out of it to write, work or do anything. Needless to say it's driving me crazy.

But that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting about the booties. Last year I got a lot of noms and didn't win anything. This year same thing and lets be honest. Kristen Bealer is going to have to kick her cat out of it's bedroom for all the booties she's going to get. I went through the list and could only find three that even I could bring myself to vote for my stuff. Sorry I really like Avalon and An Overlooked Flaw. Those are the ones I bore the people at my work with despite the fact that half those people don't even know who Daria is. I'm working on it but they're really slow to see the greatness of the show. Only a few people have changed jobs to get away from these talks so I'm still trying.

So once again I'm expecting not to win but, that's not the point either. Kristen deserves to rest in the knowledge that she was overwhelmed with votes and that means you need to get off your collective butts and vote.

NOW

Don't sit there and think you have plenty of time because you don't, you really don't. Go vote.

 

My predications are Kristen Bealer ruling the world with a chocolate covered fist. Doggieboy and NightGoblyn smashing down a few innocent villages themselves.

And of course if anyone wants to throw me a few sympathy votes while ensuring that Kristen, Doggieboy and NightGoblyn get their just due feel free. It'll be just between us. Besides it's my birthday (Jan 31) and wouldn't a bootie look cool next to a cake.

 

Go Vote or squirrels will eat your toes!

I've been busy

I haven't posted in a bit because I've actually had a few things to do. I also see that there is a lot of great activity over on PPMB and of course Daria Fandom Blog II.

I got an update to Order and Chaos up and posted. I ended the series there because I'm not really wanting to do an outright war fic at the moment and that's where it would go next.

The Other Side will be getting an update later tonight and I'm probably going to be starting a new fic tomorrow. I'm not going to let out any information but it's going to be fun.

TAG asked a question about improving the fandom so if anyone has any suggestions that don't include getting rid of me then click on the link over on the right and give them to him.

Income tax refund should be here next weekend so I doubt I'll have any chance to write for at least a week afterwards.

Doggieboy posted an update to his Apocalyptic Daria: Scarlett's Tale.  Go read it, nuff said.

Good Evening.

It's been another wonderful week in the amazing adventures of ... Ok that just sucked.  Actually hasn't been to bad of a week though. Couple of great stories being posted over at PPMB. People like undefinedlust, Disco316, Dark Kuno, Gene and a few others are posting up a storm. Great stuff too.

I finally started my SteamPunk story Other Side and the next part is finally going to get Steamy. Hope (One of the characters, check out TAG's character project, Chipmunk to see what she looks like.) Is going to take Daria and Jane on a tour.

Order and Chaos is working toward an ending I think. I'll let you know in two or so parts.

 

I've been sort of busy lately, starting out the new year and all that same old tired excuses. I'm looking out over the year and hoping to get a chance to do a couple of stories.

Number one is to try a completely Canon based story, nothing extra. Something that could in theory be added to Canon without any change in the existing story but at the same time be mind blowing. I'm hoping to base it off one particular scene in Lab Brat.

Number two is a look at Tiffany and what the concept of being Fat means in some cultures.

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good week.

And it's a new year. Hello 2009.

Another year gone by in the blink of an eye.

I posted some updates and actually think I might have stunned some people with the current part to Arrival. No death threats yet but I'm sure they're in the mail. The next part to Order and Chaos will have some fireworks. Daddy isn't going to be pleased to find out what his little girl's have been up to.

You HAVE to go over to the Daria Fandom Blog II and check out TAG's current project with a few others. I already have an idea to use one of the characters in my Steampunk story that should be starting soon.

Hey what happened to TAG doing interviews of some of the people in the Fandom, I really liked those. I was hoping he'd do Brother Grimace or Doggieboy and NightGoblyn. Maybe I should start a web petition to try to convince him to restart them. Now where did I put those pictures of the blonde penguins.

 

Lesser non important news.

Anyway. I actually started selling a few copies of New Moon. Why didn't someone tell me there was this book by a really popular (currently) author out there with the same name. I had to find out from a twelve year old. Anyway I'm currently in hiding from the people that have bought copies. Remember I live in the midwest, in a shack, in the middle of a federally owned wildlife reserve. You can't get here, so don't try. Don't believe fictitious reports of me living elsewhere. They're lies, lies I tell you.
