Well, that seems to be a "no."

If you're still interested in fic from me it'll be over on Ao3.

Art will be on tumblr.

At this point it's just an extra hassle to crosspost with no real benefit.

Edit: turning the comments back on on LJ for this much.

Tumblr is set to post this on Valentines, but you guys can have it early. Companion art for the fic Prices. Takes place before the epilogue, so kinda spoilers. Sumi ink.

( Not a Valentine per se, just sappy )

I've been busy and stressed and have had so few evenings at home that I haven't wanted to put anything onto the ones I do have, but - I realized I also seem to have an aversion now to the chat room.

Sorry, anyone who's still here and actually reading this. I know I'm only making things worse for myself with the whole talking to people thing.

Just made a donation to a local food bank to honor a certain goddess. I wasn't kidding about thanking the gods.

This is one of the most self-indulgent things I've written but it didn't turn out too bad, so why not. It follows Serpent's Gold.

( That wasn't the reaction he'd been hoping for. )

I just noticed a message in my inbox that Prices didn't crosspost to LJ due to size. I don't know why it's only telling me this now (message is dated a week ago) when I posted the fic back in May, but I'm amused that after 10 years in fandom I finally have a fic that exceeds LJ's posting limit.

In regards to my last two posts, I feel like I should explain that I have just finished up three weeks of working 6 days a week, and my days "off" really haven't been days off at all. They're my only days to do laundry, run errands, cook, and other stuff that I need for the week, I spend one of them out buying a car, and this Saturday is Art Walk, so we've also been preparing for that. Then, of course, there's my brother's baby. Whom I haven't even been able to go up and see.

I feel like all I do here anymore is bitch and moan so I'm not going to go into the rest of it.

I just watched someone get into a long, heated argument about how the term "homosexual" is insulting and you should stop using right now and you should just use "gay" but how dare you call yourself gay when you've stated elsewhere that you're pan and while you're at it don't ever use q*eer (censorship theirs) because it's a slur you should just use gay. (Which is also a reclaimed slur.)

I don't even think I can blame this on tumblr, this person just needs to take a breath and step away from the internet for a while.

A long while.

I started the new job, and it's going fine, although right now I am *ahem* a LITTLE BIT peeved at my schedule being changed from a 6:00-10:30 (that's AM, folks) shift to a 4:30-9:30 (PM) yesterday without my knowledge, but other than that. I'm working in the print center at the local OfficeMax, so I get to work with printers and trimmers and laminators and binders (when I'm not working the floor or the cash register). And yeah, I'm horribly under-employed, but at least it's money coming in. I'm still adjusting to the new schedule, which is why I've been even more MIA than usual. I've been spending the majority of my free time making food or working on a sewing commission I need to finish up and have barley sat down at the computer.

And also, last weekend was SacAnime and we had a blast! I mean, the panels all looked lame, there was no art gallery, and the Dealer's Hall and Artist's Alley were in the same room (which is still think is a poor design), but 75% of the reason I go to cons anymore is to hang out with folk and that was awesome. Tierfal is amazing and sweet and the most adorably huggable Ed you ever saw, and I got to meet Mthaytr and Inkdropfox (who IS Alfons Heinderich), and we took lots of shippy pictures and generally goofed around. (Some of which you've probably seen if you're on my Facebook, because tumblr mobile's latest update apparently decided to turn on the crosspost feature without telling me. ^^;) I'm in the process of putting them all up on flickr and I can link the albums here, too, if anyone's interested. AND ALSO I got to meet Hacha who gave me arts!!! These ones!! Everyone was super sweet and we all had a great time.

Still playing catch-up with Life. Hope everyone is doing well, and I'll try to peek in a little more. I'm also trying to find some time to write, because it's been a little too crazy and my fics have all decided to hit complications all at once.
