Katerina! My cats do that too. You made me very happy just now.
Hands drabble to follow soon.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Another part of "Nihilist Chic" up on LJ. Another character dead (but then, the dead ones keep coming back, don't they?)
If I were a paid LJ member, I think I'd set up a poll to see who thinks which characters are going to die. Might do it on Quizilla or some such, instead.
Hoping for a body count, but then, the story keeps surprising me. Which is funny, as I'm writing it and all.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I've just radically rewritten the opening of my completed novel, and I'm looking for a beta reader who's never read any of the previous version, but is reasonably familiar with historical romances and/or Regency England. Goal is to make sure the new version, which dumps you into the middle of the action and introduces a lot of people in a hurry, makes sense to readers as long as they have the right background to follow this kind of thing. Volunteers? It's just a five-page scene.

I never read your last version, Susan. Sorry about that, but I would be happy to read the five pages now, if you want me to.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Katerina, I'm so glad you posted that. It's lovely.
