maderrOne: I noticed today that BN finally shipped me Viewfinder 3. Went to the Be Beautiful site just on a whim, since obviously they've got Viewfinder available again, only to see that instead of 'down for maintence' as they've been the past couple weeks, the website is now simply gone. Good riddance. They were a shitastic publisher. Hope they got bought out by someone competent.
Two: LJ is now offering censorship. You know, I don't even care that I could choose to Adultify my own stuff. For various reasons I can't/won't, but you know -- whatever. If people want to do it, go ahead. I stll maintain I shouldn't have to. Walk in a bookstore and what do you see? Books upon books upon books. Precious few of them are not readily available to all and sundry -- in fact, only the manga is plastic wrapped that I've ever seen. But run o' the mill erotica? Nope. It's not my fucking job to tell people what to read/what not to read. When I was a kid, my parents said 'you cannot read this' and then when I was old enough my mother went 'here, these are really good. read these.' I put up warnings for shit I think might merit it, and I've always said if people want to contact me to know what is what, they should feel free. I have, in fact, gotten several emails and was more than happy to respond to all of them. What really pisses me off is the ability to flag someone else's entries. What sort of BS is that? One, not my fucking job. I don't like something, I'll just fucking ignore it. I'm not mother to anyone here, I don't fucking work for LJ, and these are blogs for fucks sake. Come on.
Three: Trying to edit and get stuff together. Wish I could put out DwtD, but if I did it would have to lack three stories that I just haven't been able to finish yet. It would have only the main ten, three sidestories, and all the drabbles. The priest/dryad, kitsune, and alain's story would all have to go in a second volume somewhere down the road. So too the necromancer story, though I could probably actually finish that one now that I think about it...
Can't do DwtD dragons b/c I'm missing a key story there, and it refuses to cooperate. Boo hiss.
Blah. Need to finish editing fairytales ^^;; HOnesty, I'd be done except I fucking hate editing x_x It's tedious ass work. Whine whine whine ^^;;
Prisoner is good to go, minus the fact I've not been able to write any additional bits for Iah and Sol.
See? So many things are CLOSE, it's just little stuff holding me up x_x Can't do any kidnapped stuff cause I have to rewrite Kidnapped itself. Umm, I think I might have enough shorts for a random book of fantasy short stories. Sandstorm should be ready, though I won't be smutting up the King's harem stuff. The point of that was to do it without smut, and going back to add it back in just doesn't work.
Mergh.
