Majory outstanding debts to hopefully finish this week:

*Nikery's dragon story
*Alice's dragon story
*Moon's Megan butchers Chinese mythology story
*Ki-chan's b-day story


I know there are other debts >_o but those are my most outstanding, I believe. Then I can get back to my stuff. Luckily, three of those are well started and I have only to beat the muses into submission.

This week is going to be long and miserable. New girl training, cool girl leaving, and I already have enough work for three people. Boo hiss I say.

Tomorrow, hopefully, will send out packages. Tsaiko, I'm sorry it's taken me forever to actually send your books. Do I have your new address?

Was feeling lousy, wanted something mindless to read.

Made the stupid mistake of buying Torq's fairytale anthology.

My eyes are bleeding.

But seriously, what the fuck kind of editor considers this a good sentence:

None would dare; my Lord Pavare's blade was so very swift to answer...and a woman with a sharp tongue and a habit of frankness who might feel herself safe if she indulged the latter whilst using the first, was mistaken if she had husband, son, or brother of an age to meet Pavare in the misty dawn -- and be buried before the next sunrise.

Never mind the raging fucking stupidity of the fairytales in general. They're sloppy. No thought was put into any of them. I see nothing creative or impressive or remarkable, and maybe I'm just being a snotty bitch and it's true that since learning of some rather grim family history I'm in a mood most foul - but for fuck's sake rewriting fairytales well isn't hard. I haven't been this disgusted with a book in a long fucking time - and I'm only on page 78/241!

EDIT

I give up. I go to attempt one of my own fairytales, something I'm working on for Nikery. I had no idea it was this easy to fuck up something so simple as a goddamn fairytale.
