Weekend.

Not much happening at the moment. I thought I would update my current projects list.

1. Mobius Strip.	Daria discovers she has more friends than anyone ever has before while Quinn’s new math obsession really takes her places.
2. Daria Arrives.	Daria shows up in Lawndale a year after her family moves there.
3. Of Metal and Men II	Continuing the story line of machines taking over the earth.
4. She died.	Someone close to Quinn dies and she doesn’t have anyone to talk to about it.
5. I have a sister?	Jane has bad news and she isn’t that upset about it.
6. But Why?	Quinn wants to know why Daria put away her camera.
The Girl and the Cynic.	Quinn passes away and Daria is left to raise her daughter.
8. I knew it!	Daria finds out Helen was married briefly to another man and becomes convinced he is her real father.
9. Continue.	Daria has to deal with a greedy Rita.
10. Danielle.	Just a bit of back story on Danielle Todds.

 

Also I will be updating EarthFall this weekend and ending the story. I might come back to it at another time but I'm not carrying the story very well in a regular series. I might throw out a few EarthFall oneshots a little later in the year.

That's all folks.

TGIF

Ok I've wrapped up My Sons and posted another part to Avalon (Part 16)

 

In real news NightGoblyn wrapped up The Misery Chicks and you have to go read it. This story along with A Little Vacation  by Doggieboy are going to rule the Booties next year, everybody else go home, it's done.

 

Gouka Ryuu has dealt out a Legion of Lawndale Heroes Minis and LSauchelli has offered up a Lawndale's Finest oneshot. Both are great and maybe it might keep us all from going twitchy on the writers of those worlds while we're waiting for them to update.

Dennis has released another update for Turnabout Confusion.

 

Is anyone else getting sick of reality inferring with people updating their fics. I mean, c'mon, shouldn't the government offer some form of restitution for all the Daria fans these people are keeping off the streets. But no they would rather give money to velvet pictures of Elvis, he's not even dead yet. So write your congressman or equivalent and demand support for the Daria arts.

 

It's not any sillier than them spending millions to build a road that doesn't go anywhere.

Sunday boring Sunday.

Just updated My Sons and Avalon over at PPMB.

 

DOGGIEBOY UPDATED A LITTLE VACATION with Part 18, you are a bad, bad person if you haven't read this story at least three times. Ok maybe you aren't a bad person but you aren't real bright.

Click here to LIVE

RLobinske update his current John Lane story, 34 Part 3.

 

Side note, Brother Grimace hinted that there may be a Angst filled RLobinske story out there. That's a must read!

Solaris is putting out a lot of reviews to stories so that's worth a look.

Hopefully everyone will enjoy this last day off before returning to the salt mines tomorrow.

Just a run of the mill update.

I added two partials to my fic site, these are stories I walked away from. I marked them in Purple for easy finding.

 

The Sidhe once again proves that the Irish had it right with The Other Side of Time: And All That We've Won. (9)

Last but not least I'm going to comment on something crossada75 said over at PPMB.

GO TO THE DOCTOR!

The members of Daria fandom are a finite resource that should be intent on maintaining their health if for no other reason than reproduction of new Daria fans. New fans are going to become rarer and rarer as time goes by. This can only be offset by a friendly doorman being there for the stragglers who discover Daria on the web, standing there with an umbrella and a cup of hot cocoa inviting them in from the rain. New blood is out there and they will come but it would be nice to make sure some of the old timers are still around to greet them.

Welcome to the weekend.

 

I won't be doing much writing this evening. The new season of Doctor Who starts here in the US tonight.

 

But BlackHole and NightGoblyn both posted updates to PPMB so go read them and pitchfork NightGobyln concerning his Heather/Damsel Chronicles. Then we need to find LSauchelli and chain him to his keyboard after watching all the Daria shows upside down.

 

Hope everyone has a good start of the weekend.

A little truth.

I just posted some updates, where else but the PPMB. I have to recommend checking out the Daria Fandom blog II through that handy dandy link to the right. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it sure seems like TAG has a really important message up today.

Also there is a new Iron Chef by DigiSim and Solaris plans to review some fanfiction. 

 

Now to discuss something. I'm dyslexic and considered nonfunctional (what that means I'm really not sure).  Basically when most people see a word, they see letters, the parts of the word. For me it's a solid, I'm unable to break words and even sentences down into their parts or structure.  For me the finished product is all there is.

I am lucky enough that my dyslexia only effects output, meaning I can read perfectly and understand what I'm read but I cannot find mistakes even if their obvious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia

If you go down that page to a section called Reading and spelling you will see several bullet points that anyone familiar with my stories will recognize right off.

This isn't a cop out, I rather enjoy when some people like Derek and DigiSim for example point out the usually humorous mistakes. (PLEASE Don't you dare stop doing it.) My work needs all the help it can get.

I'm offering up this information as an explanation, I'm not lazy, or uncaring when it comes to editing my work. I just can't see these kinds of mistakes. This also means that I'm completely at the mercy of my word processing program and I'm sure you all know how fickle they are.

 

Sleep tight because the bed bugs will bite.

Back to the salt mine.

Another weekend gone and I'm more tired now than I was on Friday. Well I did get some updates done.

Question time. Lets say someone started a story based loosely off some disturbing news reports from a year or so before and then just as they got around to starting it, the same thing happened again. How long should said person wait before posting the story.

 

Any way Doggieboy updated a story and even if it wasn't A Little Vacation is was good. So go check out The Cynic, The Fashionista and The Jackass Part 13

 

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Updates and updates.

Alright I posted Parts 12 and 13 for Avalon and My Sons over at the PPMB.

But in real news Size does matter Pt 20 and It's Like the Beginning of an Era Part Three are up.

Someone dig up some dirt on NightGoblyn and blackmail him into updating his stories. Even one of them. Maybe someone can talk TAG into interviewing NightGoblyn as part of his new Author Interviews project, sounds like a great way to gather some dirt or something like that.

 

As strange as it sounds I actually had pizza for lunch yesterday. Probably the first pizza I've had in two years. I just couldn't resist a ham, pepperoni, sausage and bacon pie.

Well that's it for today.

Oh and if someone happens to know where to get a decent viewing copy of Pierce Me ... for off site backup only of course. Let me know. My copy is missing the entire phone call at the start of the show. I'd like to get a compete set. And with the Daria New Years blurb I think I've got about everything.

Life in the slow lane.

Posted some updates to My Sons, Avalon and Breed today. Did some reading but all and all I wasted the entire day. I should be ashamed of myself but I'm not oh well.

Since my last post the great and powerful Doggieboy has graced us all with an update to A Little Vacation. Now if we can get Sidhe to throw one out as well it'll be a pretty good week. The only thing that could make it better would be a TAG story. So far we got updates from RLobinske, Brother Grimace, Dennis, LSauchelli, Cypher, BlackHole and a new story from Kristen Bealer. You can't beat a week light that again excepting the mention point.

Well I'm going to go kill some pixels

Have a good night.

Nap time.

I just posted updates to four stories on PPMB. Now I'm tired.

Breed Pt 2. Hopefully a different take on the vampire saga.

My Sons Part 10. Daria is having fun and Quinn and Susan aren't.

Avalon Part 9. Quinn gets some training and Jane offers to cook.

EarthFall Episode 4 pt 2. A mission to gain needed protoculture.

 

But in really important news. The following stories have all had updates recently.

Size does matter Pt 19

And All That We've Won 6

The Misery Chicks Part Eighteen

All the King's Horses.

 

Clearly missing is a new part to A Little Vacation from Doggieboy but I'm sure this is merely an oversight that he better ...  I mean will correct soon. Please. Pretty please with a meatlovers pizza on top.

It's a miracle.

I managed to post some updates and it's not even the weekend yet. Next I'll be turning water into Pepsi and fish into steak. Or maybe the other way around. Seafood has gone up in price.

 

Slow week so we might have to go after a few fanfic writers again. They know who they are. Now we'll need supplies. Rope, chains a few whips and some potato chips among other things.

 

Have fun and don't forget. If they keep typing you can stop hitting them.

I did it!

It took all day and almost drove me insane but I finally got around to converting the .mht files on my site to html files. They have been tested in 4 browsers and three OSs so if it doesn't work ... it's you.

I guess that only took about three months of putting off and I only had to edit one in Dreamweaver. I even added Surprises not that anyone would want to read that. Seriously avoid it at all cost. The ending sucks.

 

Now maybe I can sit down and write something.

Another test don't mind me.

Basicly I added this handy little button to my sig and since it's a toy with no real value I want to play with it. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page you'll find it there as well. I'll be playing with it for a few days to see if I like it.

Just playing with something.

Another day.

Not much happening but I did manage to post a couple of updates. It seems my joke concerning hunting down and finding certain writers is being hailed as a success. Hey it counts even if it's only one vote.

 

Well got a busy night ahead.

Back for a blink.

Been sort of busy lately but things appear to be thinning out a little. I just posted Part 5 to Avalon over on the PPMB and hopefully I'll get My Sons part 6 and a new EarthFall posted tomorrow.

I would list all the great stories over on PPMB right now but it's a big list. Why don't you go check it out. You know you want to. Go on I won't tell anyone. It can be our little secret.

 

Tomorrow is Easter of yah. The day of bunnies and chocolate or something like that. I'm not planning on getting out of bed until noon. By then the kids should be in choco coma so I'll have the place to my self.

I starting a signup sheet for volunteers to hunt down Brother Grimace and Doggieboy and chain them to their PCs until  they post new parts to their respective stories.

 

Well happy Easter. Don't let the bunny lay an egg on you.

Another wasted weekend.

 

I did manage to post a few story updates and catch up on some of my reading. I tell you some of the stuff out there I'd put up against the crap I keep wasting money on at Books a million any day.

Of course I can't do a post without mentioning A Little Vacation. It's at Part 14 now and Daria is once again safe in Lawndale. But you know most virus have a Mary vector. (A person who is for all intents and purposes immune but carries the illness.) I'm really waiting for the end to this one. Doggieboy rarely disappoints.

 

Have fun and don't forget that if you don't read PPMB then you'll go insane.

Another Rainy night

I posted part 3 to My Sons earlier so go read it. And while you're at PPMB check out John Lane 33.

I have to tell the truth here. It was a John Lane chapter that led me to PPMB and made me want to post Pause in Life there. So I guess RLobinske can be blamed for anything I post. LoL.

 

The Misery Chicks is up to Part Twelve and Size does matter is at Pt. 13. These two are worth a trip to PPMB all by themselves.

And All That We've Won Parte the Third is warming up to be as good as it's predecessor. The Sidhe is living up to his (her?) name.

Doggieboy needs to send out another Part to A Little Vacation as I'm going through withdraws.

I will be posting another part to My Sons and EarthFall and hopefully even another to Avalon this weekend.

Busy day.

I posted the second part to My Sons and I'm still struggling try to get the funny in my head to come out in the story and it's not working to well yet.  I'm just not a visual enough writer I think.

I also posted a teaser for Avalon over at the PPMB.

 

Size does matter Pt 12 was updated by BlackHole as well. If you haven't read this one yet then you should be tarred and feathered.

Slow day.

I started My Sons over at PPMB and it's not as funny on paper so to speak as it was in my head. I don't know how big it's going to be but I'm going to stick with it and see how it goes. I mean it can't be as bad as the end of Surprises.

 

I missed Ranger Thorne starting another Daria/Star Wars crossover. Those Who Can. Check it out.

Next Stories I'm looking at are.

1. Mobius Strip

2. Avalon

 

I'm thinking about doing up the first part to Avalon and posting it over at PPMB as a teaser and to see if it will float.

 

Party on Dudes.
