Musings on stuff

Back To The Pit

So, I decided to start putting my non-smut back on ff.net.  Partially this is because of the upheaval at the LU, and because ff.net put the smackdown on RB.  But largely it's because I'm a review junkie and I'm not getting any on AO3.  *cries*

My Tangled fic has had many favorites but few reviews.


This Gives Me Hope

Sometimes when I'm reading a novel, I become torn between frustration and encouragement:  the first because I want to smack the author's editor; the second because I think, If this got published, I can get published.

Then I think maybe I'm on smack, and that just because I have a love affair with long sentences doesn't mean those who don't write poorly.  Even if it makes the writing seem choppy and disjointed.

Is there such a thing as a sentence snob?
 

Amazon Passwords

I am such an Amazon junkie that I had to change passwords on not only the US site (and for two different accounts) but also for the Japanese and UK sites.  No, I don't like books.  What makes you ask?  (Although... technically I can't read the ones I get from Japan.) 

Hubby had to change his on US, UK, CA, and FR.

(Don't know what I'm on about?  Read here.  I could login by typing my password all in caps, for example.)


Words of the Day

I love words.  If I ever write another HP story, it'll feature enoptromancy.    Obnubilate could be a great title for an FFVII story.  Also, I never knew there was actually a word for someone who collects toothpick boxes.

Eeek! I didn't know that about the Amazon passwords. Definitely changed mine. Thanks for sharing about that.

I actually finished my first full length original novel because I sat down to read a book about a historical character that I adored and then spent the entire book mentally face palming at not only the slaughter of said character's character but at the fact that the author couldn't even keep her own story straight or her characters in character. Use of logic was a fail too. So - huzzah for poorly written and published books? Or, as my sister says, 'send a query to THAT agent, because apparently they can get ANYTHING published'.

Thanks for sharing the password thing on Amazon!

So what's going on exactly with RB and LU? I can't seem to find anything about what's going on. D:
