Miscellanea
Nov. 20th, 2013 09:23 am I just put Claimed up on A03. I'm not sure I'll get many readers there, but it's definitely worth a try. I'm thinking of putting up more of my short stories. Because the site keeps track of series, I could separate them into maybe fairy tales, school boys, and knights and nobility without having to keep the rating the same for every story in the group. I think.
I've got a story I'm trying to write about a youth who is dragged along on a quest to save the world (I really love epic adventures like that), only his presence is just what the other side needs to win. This is just the spot at the end when the least member of the each group become the most important.
I want to write it so bad. I've got a list of names (Albanian) and I wrote out the first part of the summery that got less summery like as I went along, but as I'm only getting two days off a week and one of those days is always full of non-writing stuff, so I need to spend the other finishing Harmonies.
I had the weirdest conversation about Christmas lists the other day. In my family a Christmas list is a series of suggestions. My mom now wants my kids to give her a list of specific items, so my kids do the same for me, but they know I might not get them any of that. (My own Christmas list goes something like: that's a cute bag, I could use a new lunch sack — look, my gloves are warn out —ect.)
This guy I work with was coming in on his day off to print out a pay stub to prove to his younger son (10-12 years old) that he had to redo his Christmas list because Dad couldn't afford the $2800 total. What parent buys everything on a Christmas list? Is this normal? Doesn't that ruin the mystery of Christmas if you know what's in every box?
