Still Here

Haven't updated for a bit. I really don't deal well with being sick. I should have updates for EarthFall and Surprises up tomorrow.

In better news.

 

Kristen Bealer wrapped up her "I've Waited Here for You." Sometimes it's a good day for fanficton and any day you get to read something that great is good.

Doggieboy posted Part 8 to A Little Vacation. Have I mentioned how much I love this story.

Bother Grimace and SMK both put out some Legion of Lawndale Heroes goodness.

 

Well time to do some writing. I'm really starting to dislike people who come to work with plague and spread it around.

Just a another day.

Finally got an update to Surprises 14 up.

Lots of good stuff over on PPMB so get over there and read something.

I've Waited Here for You by Kristen Bealer is breathtaking.

The Misery Chicks

Darkly Daria

Size does matter

A Little Vacation

All of these have been updated and if you aren't reading them then you should.

 

Hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to stop long enough to type something longer than a blog entry.

Not my week

I just can't seem to get the time to do anything this week. Between getting sick and work I haven't even had a chance to catch up on what's happening on the boards.

What's the old saying "It has to get better cause it can't get much worse."

Hopefully I'll get a few minutes to catch up on my reading and then on my writing.

Monday

I didn't get squat done this weekend but hopefully some time will come up during the week. I'm about half way through Surprises 14 and the first part to EarthFall Ep 3 is taking shape.

 

Darkly Daria and A Little Vacation are going strong offering up fun takes on the Daria verse. It funny that I'm already pretty sure of some of my votes for the booties next year. At the very least the bar has been set pretty high.

On another sad note it seems Ahmygoddess from the PPMB passed away. I can't say I knew him but my sincerest  condolences for those that did.

 

Live each as if it were the last.

Final say on a petty issue.

This is my last word on the subject.

On February 2, 2008 Cincgreen posted a review of the first part of my story EarthFall.

In the review he took portions of the story and edited them(rewrote) before publishing the review to his site.

http://cincgreen.blogspot.com/

My complaint with this was first having to discover the review by a 3^rd party source and then discovering the rewritten portions. I posted a response to my blog, his blog, and the PPMB. In this response I requested he remove the rewritten sections from the review. He has acknowledged my request and apparently denied it.

For me this matter was dead and I haven’t mentioned it again in my blog but I have responded to various prompts on the PPMB tread I started.

http://www.thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21219

Now it seems he has put up another message on another blog. This one is addressed to me but he failed to inform me of its existence. (Again I had to find out from a 3^rd party.) I do think it’s time to clear up a few things.

http://dariaphans.blogspot.com/

Cincgreen did post rewritten portions of my story on his blog. I never made the claim he was trying to take credit for the story and when someone got that impression I corrected that at once. I have no objection to any review but this goes past the line of reviewing to editing in my opinion. I have made no demands for anything. I made a request, without threat or insult. Now I feel insulted.

The second blog post lets me know all I need to know about this person.

Let me offer a review of Cincgreen. By taking liberties with my work you weaken your review in my eyes because anything that distracts from a more important message is a bad thing. Next writing a blog addressed to me and not telling me is rude and to be blunt I have no more time to waste on you. Congratulations you have defeated your own message.

Finally I am emailing this to Cincgreen so there can be no doubt. My request to remove the edited sections from the review stands but feel free to review any work I’ve ever done.

Finally!

I managed to get off my lazy butt and post updates to Surprises and EarthFall and they are available to read over at PPMB.

LSauchelli started a new story (Darkly Daria) and killed off Jane and Trent at the very beginning and that's all I'm giving away. This is the story to read while you're waiting for Doggieboy to release more of A Little Vacation.

I'm still working on my converting project and due to a busy schedule might not get it done this weekend. Also I've discovered that trying to read the PPMB on a PSP is enough to drive me insane.

 

Talk at you later.

Time to make the donuts.

Ok not really but I always wanted an excuse to say that.

A Little Vacation (Part 6) has been posted by Doggieboy and I believe he killed us all. *sniff sniff I love a happy story.

Nature of Nurture Ch2b by Mascifin is up.

I should get a few minutes to day to post the next parts to Surprises and EarthFall but it's still a maybe.

So kick back, catch up on your reading and then write something.

I could care less but I don't know how.

So rough day at the office.

Haven't gotten anything done but a few people have.

NightGoblyn has updated Misery Chicks and you can hear the theme music kicking in.

LSauchelli updated Crouching Monster, Hidden Magic so I guess we can call off the search party.

If you aren't reading I've Waited Here for You by Kristen Bealer then you aren't as smart as your mother thought you were.

Hopefully I will have time over the next three days to finish up and post a few updates. I also have a file converting project over on my site. I'm going to convert all the .mht files to html  for viewing in different browsers.

So try to not let the rats eat your toes.

No updates today.

Sorry been busy. I have Surprises 13 almost done and EarthFall Ep 2 pt 3 is all but done.

I'm having the problem were my next story is inferring with my current ones and Avalon is kicking and screaming for me to do something with it. Next few days are pretty busy so I don't know if I'll get much done before the weekend.

I know I haven't been around for very long but I really miss some of the Iron Chefs from just a few months ago. Some of the best stories and ideas seemed to come out of those. It was nice to see a few of them go up in the last few days. Home Schooled and Out with her eyes were some of the coolest stories to write.

Size does matter is at PT 4 and I'm getting really curious about it. It's making me think and you wouldn't believe how much I enjoy that.

I would kill for another part to A Little Vacation, just tell me who, when where.

 

Well another day another 14 cents deeper in debt. Maybe I should take up panhandling it would have to pay better than what I'm making now.

Enjoy.

Another wonderful day in tech support.

 

Decided to repost my current and upcoming projects.

1. Surprises

2. EarthFall

3. My Sons (Gathering ideas.)

4. Mobius Strip (Rereading some Lumley to get in the mood.)

5. Daria Arrives. (Planning stages.)

6. Of Metal and Men II. (Summery.)

7. Avalon. (Just a SUPER idea.)

8. She died. (Taking shape.)

9. I have a sister?

10. But Why?

11. The Girl and the Cynic.

12. I knew it!

 

No updates to any of my stories because of an increase in people with way more money than brains.

Let me give you some un-Daria advice. If your PC cost $250 then don't try to sync an $800 phone to it. If you start deleting things under the windows folder because you "don't use them" your computer will die. The registry is not taking up that much space please don't try to "Clean it up."

Ok that's enough work garbage.

 

A funny Jane story occurred to me this afternoon. What lengths would Jane go to trying to keep her extended family around her. Daria was portrayed as the clingy one in canon so what if Jane wakes up one morning and realizes that her family is spread to the four winds and Daria is leaving soon. I'm kind of booked for a while and this doesn't really grab me but if anyone wanted to write it, I would love to read it.

My Opinion.

I just got word that someone reviewed my work and honestly I expected a bad one and I wasn't disappointed.

I have to admit that the person's criticism is fair but I can't call in constructive because that would of required him to send it to me or let me know that it happened.

I do have one small problem. I think it's rather arrogant and rude to take my work, rewrite and then publish it to his own site. His review stands well without this act.

Maybe this is a nit to pick but I think it's mine to do.

I am requesting without any authority to force him to do so and without a threat of any kind, to please remove the rewrites from his site.

So does anyone have an opinion on this?

Story update.

I just posted updates to Surprises and EarthFall on PPMB so head on over and afterwards you have to check out.

A Little Vacation Part 5 from Doggieboy.

The Plunderin' of Don Jake by Gregor Samsa

Legion of Lawndale Heroes has been updated by Brother Grimace.

Concert is an interesting piece by JPAGC.

 

All in all it was a good day for reading some Fics.

Looks like the Booties results are in!

Head on over to the PPMB and check the results.

Didn't get a chance to update my site with the excusive content but I'll try to get to it this week.

I have new parts for EarthFall and Surprises that are almost ready but I was just to busy today to finish them up. But while you're waiting.

Rlobinske just updated Falling into College 61 with Part 11.

thatLONERchick posted another great part to The Night Series.

Kristen Bealer is starting a new story I've waited Here for You.

Dennis posted another part(chapter?) to Turnabout Confusion Part II.

 

No I'm not telling who won the Booties! Go check.

Well I start my new time tomorrow that involves being leaving for work two hours before I'm use to so I'm heading off to bed early.

Choice of Music.

I just chucked about two pages of Surprises part 12 because after writing it under the influence of trashy techno pop it turned into a sappy romance that didn't make any sense. (Now I know some people are saying "Hey isn't that par for the course with your writing." but it was really bad.)

A familiar face in making an entrance in EarthFall episode 2 part 2 and is the third of six people from the show (Daria) that are currently planned on being in the story. (More might pop in later on.)

Not much happening on PPMB today but Doggieboy has said he'll try to have Part 5 of A Little Vacation up tomorrow or Monday so there's hope.

Have you guessed I really like this story yet.

 

Well I'm working on Part 12 for surprises and part 2 for EarthFall at the moment and might get them done before the end of the weekend.

Have fun.

Story update.

I posted EarthFall (Episode 2 pt 1) on PPMB and added a blurb on An Overlooked Flaw on the Dariawiki.

A Little Vacation by Doggieboy is on part 4.

Doesn't look like anyone else has updated today yet.

acidgirl did a great picture of Jane Parino Lane from EarthFall and I was stunned at how perfectly she captured the image from my mind. I'm wearing a tinfoil hat from now on whenever I go to PPMB.

Check it out. http://www.thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21161

I've got to ask if she'll let me post it over here or on my site. It's really good.

So how long do we have to wait to find out who won the booties?

Better Late than Never!

Finally got an update for Surprises up so go read part 11.

While you're there check out Nature of Nurture by Mascifin and Size does matter Pt.2 by Blackhole and drum role please.

A small update to Legion of Lawndale Heroes by Brother Grimace.

Dennis's Turnabout Confusion is still running hot enough to blow the bolts off the manifold.

Don't you hate waiting for another chapter of an epic story and that's how I'm feeling with Doggieboy's A Little Vacation.

 

I should have an update for EarthFall tomorrow. I'm working on the first part of Episode 2 tonight.

Voting is over for the booties and anyone who did vote I salute you even if you voted for someone else. LoL. But hey I'm in Florida so I'll be demanding a recount, just kidding.

Look for some excusive content to go up on my site on Sunday including a few shorts I walked away from and a massive tale that I grew disgusted with but couldn't stop until it was finished.

I'll post again tomorrow.

VOTE!

It's the last day to vote over at PPMB! Why are you still reading this? GO VOTE NOW. You read the work now go vote for your favorite.

C'mon you know you want to.

Just an update.

EarthFall episode 1 pt 3 is posted over on PPMB and I'll have a complete Lesson Learned posted on my site later tonight.

 

In other news you still haven't vote yet have you? Go vote.

Blackhole has started a new fic called "Size does matter" and it is great.

Sidhe completed "Been Here Before." So you have to read that.

RLobinske has part 10 of Falling Into College 61 up. nuff said.

Roentgen's New Drum, Same Tune has another part.

Surprises should get another part tomorrow!

 

So start reading. Then VOTE on the booties and then you can take a nap.

Internet is still here.

Power was out as soon as I got home yesterday. Took till nine to get if up again.  So I spent the afternoon doing everything but being on the PC. AND IT SUCKED.

Anyway working on my various stories which are suffering due to my recent sced change but I should be back on track in a few more days.

The blog here finally got it's 500th hit.

So have a wonderful Wednesday and don't forget the booties Jan 31rst deadline so go vote.

Zombies are overrunning major US cities.

It's all over. The undead walk the streets and devour anything in their path.

GO READ DOGGIEBOY'S A LITTLE VACATION!

I'm starting a new work sced so I'm not sure how that's going to affect my writing but I'm pretty sure I'll be in the swing of things in a few days. I really hate it when a sced change makes me work 6 days in a row. Ok I'm spoiled.

3 more days till the end of voting for the booties!

Seriously a lot of good stuff and you should go support a writer or artist.

 

Now remember when dealing with zombies it's not how fast you run but rather the person with you. I recommend a swift downward rake to the shin to slow them down.

Have fun and remember to shoot for the head. Not your head, theirs.
