Cut to a cheap hotel. The hotel manager is having a talk with Faith in her room.
GUY: The room's eighteen dollars a day. That's every day.
FAITH: Yeah, I know. I'll get it to you by tomorrow, I swear.
GUY: (sighs and shrugs) It's not like I own the place.
FAITH: (gives him a smile) But I bet you will someday.
GUY: Not if I listen to broads like you.
Buffy appears at the door and steps in.
GUY: (to Faith, pointing at Buffy) Roommates are extra.
BUFFY: I'm just visiting.

“I try to create sympathy for my characters, then turn the monsters loose.” – Stephen King

I like that quote. Today was awful so this is late. I need to get to bed. I got 131 words on that second spook me story which isn't really spooky. It's more family dinner...with cannibals.


How is it going for you? Let know and if i forgot you somewhere along the way let me know and as a reminder on the 16th we'll be heading to [personal profile] china_shop's blog to continue this month

Tagset corrections are in, and signups are opening soon! It’s just about time to decide what you’ll be requesting and offering.

This year, you can request eight fandoms! Previously, it was six. Because of that, we're reviewing our process for sending author questions.

Each year, we receive questions from authors about their recipient’s requests. These might include clarification on prompts or requests to understand how a DNW applies to a specific fandom–for example, does a DNW for character death include discussion of deaths that occur in canon?

We’re always happy to pass these questions along! Please always contact the mods directly rather than reaching out to the recipient yourself.

Traditionally, when we send these questions to recipients, we try to disguise the fandom the author plans to write for, so the gift is still a surprise. If the question is generic and applies to all fandoms, we can pass it along as-is. If the question is specific to one fandom, our team of volunteers writes decoy questions for the other fandoms and sends along the whole set.

This is fun for us to do, but it takes time. It's also extra work for the recipients to read and respond to multiple questions. This year, as we’re allowing up to 8 requested fandoms (which could mean up to 7 mod-created questions), it seems like a good time to check in and see if our participants find it helpful.

So, a poll! Going forward, which would you prefer mods do?

Poll #33725 Author Questions Poll
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 107


Going forward, which would you prefer mods do with author questions?

View Answers

Mods should continue to send decoy questions for all fandoms, along with the author’s actual question, to maximize the mystery of which fandom a recipient will receive. (This is how things work currently.)
17 (15.9%)

Mods should send questions for several fandoms, including the author’s actual question, but possibly not all–even though that could narrow down which fandom a recipient may receive.
84 (78.5%)

Something else (Please let us know in comments!)
6 (5.6%)



Keep in mind the question may be from a potential treat writer, so receiving questions for a particular set of fandoms isn’t a guarantee that your final gift will be in one of those fandoms.

We may not necessarily change our process this year based on community feedback, but it will be helpful in making our decision!

We'd also love to hear from you if you'd like to share a past experience with sending or receiving questions! If that has never happened to you, we hope you enjoy this peek behind the administrative curtain.

Hi all, as we only have two entries this week, we'll be running another mini-amnesty! Please feel free to post any further fills for Abandoned Mansion over the next couple days; your next challenge will be up on Wednesday at the regular time.

Lemme ask you a question

So I didn't open emails over the weekend because of the con. I open it today and in my two online only classes I have 40 students between two classes. Out of those 40 THREE wrote me to say we can't see the notes for the final unit. I turned that on a week ago sunday and the quizzes were due yesterday. The final on this is due friday.

THREE people out of 40. And they're right. The notes are messed up. I fixed it. I extended the quizzes and the final (the class locks off next week because friday is technically the last day of class) so my question is WHY would you not contact the professor if something was wrong.

And the other stuff isn't working either and IT says it's McGraw Hill who says I'm doing it wrong, you know the same thing I've done for 20 damn years. And btw am doing exactly how they're telling me to do it. screams into the void.

But as for yesterday, I came home to go to Bob Fest vs going to the last day of the con. Honestly I can bump this back to every other year too. I know where all the vendors are and how much more could I use from any of them? Sure the coffee/honey/maple vendors I can always use (as if I can't get it from Kroger, literally in the coffee's case, they're local and carried by Kroger) How much more glass can I get from the glass blower (the answer is a blue bird for mom and a purple one for me) I did skip the jerky (getting too expensive) got the cheese from my cheesemonger.

And I was going to get some bougie boozy jam. How much are these? two for 35$. Sure thing. She sees me with jelly jars in hand. I sneak them onto a shelf and scamper off. You can't scamper with a cane. Lordee no.

I did buy a left handed hand carved spoon with a scraper (which is why it's handed, not that I suspect it matters much) It's walnut and he carves the wood type and date into it. 2012. I was sad for my spoon. It's been going to festival after festival for 13 years and no one wanted it. Poor spoon (which yes that is animism right there) I was going to give it to Dad but I think I'll keep this poor unwanted spoon (I stir left handed anyhow)

I pet some long horns (owned by one of my current students) and came home.

have some con pictures under here )

And it's music monday. Since it's spooky time let's continue with the spooky music


Another full albumn for you. This is my favorite by Midnight Syndicate



I have always loved these house displays (Im not tech savvy enough to do this) here's one that's a tribute to Ozzy (Locally the rock station is calling this Ozztober)

Exchange Season

Well, we're definitely moving into exchange season.

The Dragon Age Poly Exchange already has assignments out, the Joining Exchange (a Dragon Age exchange focusing on Wardens) just opened sign-ups, Yuletide sign-ups are almost upon us, and Holly Poly has made a few posts implying it's coming up soon. Plus it's not really an exchange, but the Dragon Age Reverse Bang's deadline is at the end of the month as well.

And those are just the ones I'm probably participating in. I'm sure there are plenty of others, including some that might catch my attention.

Let's see if at least a few of them will properly kick my muse into gear... 🤞🏻

Reccer's Notes: One of the things I love about historical fiction is getting the voice of the time right. One of the things I love about fanfiction is getting the voices of the characters right. This marvelous story does both and so much more.

Another Bundle of Holding offer: the Huckleberry Bundle, featuring the "mythic Wyrd West RPG about tragic cowboys in a world doomed to calamity."

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Huckleberry




This basically seems to be cowboys (and other interested parties) in a world full of chaotic monsters. I don't think it's really a game that interests me much, but it's well-presented and you get quite a lot for your money, It's just not a genre I particularly like.

Seeing this makes me suspect that we are now in the run-up to Halloween with these offers, which usually means a lot of horror.
