Happy Holidays!

I have a gift for y'all…except I didn't actually write it.  It was written by the wonderful authors of Mergers And Acquisitions, and I loved it when I read it.  Thus, I am sharing it with anyone who will listen!  


There are major references to the plot of this, as it is a future-take of M&A, but there is a one-shot that can basically get you up to speed.  Then…read the future-take, and be in awe…!!  Of course, if you were actually to read the whole story…trust me, it's addictive.

Leave 'em some love—they deserve it!!


I hope any and all holidays you celebrate are the best they can be, and I'll blather more in the new year!

Oh Crap

Well, my last month or so has been incredibly busy…as proved by the evidence I found today.  I was in the shower, combing through my hair to make sure I got all the shampoo out (and soaking up the steam, because I have a nasty cold), and I. Found. It.

I'm pretty isolated in my corner of the world, so I don't hear much new news.  What I do hear, lately especially, is horrifying.  I'm sending you a link to a post made by Starfish 422, about this:
Starfish's Blog.  Please, take a look—she says everything so much better than I ever could.

I saw this on the Fandom For Preemies site today, and knew I had to share it!  
The link to this heart-wrenching video is here, please go visit and leave some love!

The End Of Summer…The End Of Kill Her

Well, here we are.  Was it worth it—putting up with my lack of writing schedule?  Was the ending what you hoped?  As for why the ending os so very late, there are a multitude of reasons.

For one, my health, while never top-notch, has been taking hit after hit lately.  Though, according to every doctor I've been to, there is nothing wrong with me…they haven't seen me collapse yet.

In addition, my stress level is skyrocketing.  I am living in a very undesirable set of conditions, while trying to help two children to grow and mature so they can be as whole as possible.  My course load this round is heavier than anything I've done before—I've had to drop two of my classes just to keep my head up.  I am volunteering more than ever, on many different fronts, and trying to balance that with the job I've settled for.

For years, I was working at a library, which I loved—the books, the programs, the kids—and the pay was what I needed, while not being crazy excess.  Now, I am working (again) for a woman who I do not like and barely respect.  The daycare does not pay nearly as well—I'm down to minimum wage, and the only way I can up that is to take a course—one of the ones I dropped—and force them to pay me more, as I will be in the possession of a certain piece of paper.

To top this all off, I have a temperamental internet service, that sometimes works…and then it doesn't.

This cannot possible make up for the fact that my story has dragged on more than a year, with only five chapters at the end—not counting the Alternate Ending—but I think that if you know part of why it has happened, you will perhaps be a little more forgiving towards the timeline.

And maybe discourage me from doing anymore multi-chaps in the future.

Kill Her Teaser

Well, I'm in the final stages of the final chapter…and I've always wanted to do this.  So, indulge me a little computer play while my kids are getting along (knock on wood, please), and enjoy….

Fandom For Preemies

Fandom For Preemies

I have recently discovered this, through Whitlock-Masen, and I will do everything in my power to be a contributing author.  I'm unable to make a donation, unfortunately, so I will participate the best way I can.  Accepted works include, and I quote: "oneshot, outtake, sideshot, futuretake, original work of fiction or something else."  I'm sure you can email the coordinators if you have any questions.

If anyone has a particular request, I'll see what I can do…the story I've started is quite a sad original fiction, so far—and I don't know if it'll get better.  

If you are interested in signing up to write, do so as soon as you can, and be aware that stories must be in by October 21st, 2010 for them to be included.  

The compilation will be ready on November 1st, the organizers ask that you hold your donations until then.

Please take a look at the site, and do whatever you can to help this cause.  There are some amazing stories there from parents of preemies, who have shared with us.

Please honour November being Prematurity Awareness Month by participating.

Kill Her Update

Well, it's nearly the end of summer…though that's not until the twenty-first, officially.  I do plan on having the last chapter up this week, so be ready—it should rock some boats.  At least, I hope so.  I shall give you a link so you can catch up before the chapter comes!


If It Doesn't Kill Her


Now, please go read it, tell me what you think…yell at me for not updating.  Perhaps in the future, I should stick to one-shots…?
