It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I get to meet her next month! t dances

I will fangirl her shamelessly, I expect. It's funny -- if I "know" someone, even if I think they're fantastic, I don't fangirl them. But if I don't have some kind of relationship with them, I end up all squealy and fangirly and it's just bad.

Look, turtles!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It'll be easy. She's possibly the nicest person in the world.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I know what you mean, Consuela. Objectively I think Joss and Tim aren't all that far apart in the brilliance of their writing, but I could chat more or less at ease with Tim on those rare occasions when we've met in person whereas being anywhere near Joss turns me into a babbling moron.

Woot! Clicking the wrong link on someone's flashfiction just led me to read "Intersections" from Kaneko's website. Talk about your happy accidents...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got to meet her at last year's Worldcon -- very excited for her book(s). Would someone remind me of her professional writing name so that I can ask for her books the right way?

Theo, Fay linked to the novel's livejournal upthread. All of the info is there.

What Dana said. She's warm and nice and brilliant, and I have often helplessly asked, "Is there anything you can't do?"

I want to be her when I grow up.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Amusing House/Joan of Arcadia crossover.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

What do you do when you can't get a plot bunny out of your head, but you have no idea when or how you're going to write it? 'Cause ever since I re-read the latest Harry Potter book, I've been unable to get the idea of writing "The Doctors Granger and the Rotfang Conspiracy" out of my head. Darn you, Luna Lovegood!

Now I have to try and figure out when I'll have time to write this, and how the heck I'm going to do humor (I've only written angsty LotR fanfic before).

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

What do you do when you can't get a plot bunny out of your head, but you have no idea when or how you're going to write it?

Personally, I take notes and then try and fight it off. Usually I lose, but at least I do then write something.

Oh, good, I'm on the right (write?) track, then. Before I left work last night, I typed up a brief outline of what should happen in the first chapter, and then saved it and turned off the computer. Hopefully, that'll feed the bunny until I go on vacation next week!
