Our Seattle museums lack anything cool.

Plei, my twin!

Well, we were. But I got a cool number out of it

OK. Will do some more Amanda. Should be definitely interesting (for me), since I'm blazing through third book in the new series (see tagline) and the ghost in that one's an incubus. If I do, should I post in bits as written, or should I wait? Protocol in place?

It's really up to you, Deb. Some people won't publish bits of a work in progress, and others do.

I vote post them as you write them, but only because I am so enamored of Amanda.

down at the Musee Mechanique

Really want to go there.

Musee mechanique is this odd little hut, perched under the Cliff House on the Pacific ocean (western) edge of the City, above the ruins of the Sutro Baths. All sorts of superb funky bits of arcade items, plus the camera obscura.

Oh, I have no trouble at all posting as I write. I am totally and completely about inputs, edits, feedback. In the end, when you're submitting to an editor, that realy cuts down on the laterons rework.

Ok. Am mulling two Amanda Lisle stories around. One would be a prequel, how she trained as a Slayer, got involved with Giles, the events in the Woodstock Road. Working title is "The Needfire".

Second one would be the resolution of the current Big bad story arc and Buffy as slayer, period. Working title is "A Bright Particular Star."

deborah is my new favorite person.

It's incredibly tiny on my screen, but I expect that's something in my browser or layout or screen resolution or something, yes?

t guilty I like Verdana 9. A lot. Like I said, I just went with my favorite layout. When I get back onto the other computer, I'll change it.

Sweetie, if it's visible on everyone else's screens, I'm fine with it just as is. I know that we have our big screen monitor set to some uberhigh resolution thing that makes my website look tiny. But when I access it from Nic's computer at work? Normal size.

deborah is my new favorite person.

Me? Why? What did I do? I'll do more of it, if it's this easy. See, usually this whole "favourite person" thing involves me sending pastry through the post (ita, Allyson, and host of local Buffistae....)

edit: I meant that an 11-point type on our screen looks more like a 7. So the 9 is literally a grey smear on my screen. But I'm pretty damned sure that's only on my screen. And you're right, it's a gorgeously readable typeface.

I would be happy to read either or both.

Excellent...

I'll likely do both, Steph. It's just a question of fitting them in.

Will post in sections, as work progresses.

My writers group people are late, damnit. Luckily, it's an indestructible dinner (pasta y fagioli alla tenore, simmering away). But they're still late and we have at least four people wanting to read tonight.

You know what's fun? Editing fic with a soundtrack. I've been pulling together "Reflections" to the soundtrack to Branagh's Henry V. I had the Battle of Harfleur backing up the destruction of the Council and St. Crispin's behind Giles on the train platform asking Ethan to help. Boy, mood music really does pump up storytelling. I feel like putting recommended music in with this.

But I won't.
