So! There’s this thing I got tagged by Jeanette Bennett, a.k.a. Scablander to do, which basically is one of those “list X things and then fill in the numbers in the questions below with the matching item” things. This one in particular is for various characters of various media.
I’ve linked the characters who [...]

I was digging through my Google Docs files the other day and came across some writing projects I’d begun and pushed aside (for whatever reason). In particular, I came across the prologue to a set of serial shorts that I had been planning on writing. Ah, that project. The idea started out [...]

Funny story.
I was baking brownies for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I added twice the flour needed. Oops.
After much debate, I decided to finally just double the recipe, despite only having one baking dish. Unfortunately, when I put the batter in said baking dish, I apparently put in rather more than half. Fear [...]

National Novel Writing month is starting! For some it has already started. For me, it starts in fifteen minutes! Although I’m not really going to be writing until the afternoon. I know, I know, but I haven’t had dinner yet and I do need to get some sleep at some point!
Anyway, so here is [...]

I have a lot of things that I’d like to do in my life. Too many, in some respects. I’m generally good at recognizing the practicality/plausibility of achieving each of them, and in some cases trimming the ideas down to make them more doable.
But there is one such dream that I have which I honestly don’t think will ever happen, mostly because the first requirement would be having lots of money. And I mean lots of money. As I like to tell myself frequently, however, there is always the chance (however infinitesimally small) that I will someday come into a very large quantity of money, so sometimes I pass my mental idle time by planning out the logistics of achieving this dream if I had the money.
I’m sure by this point you’re thinking “is she going to tell us what this idea is or not?!” Whyever would I do that? (Just kidding.) The idea can be summarized in a single, simple sentence, actually.
Create a steampunk town.

Since I can, I am going to inflict my love of Yuki Kajiura as a music composer upon you all. And you will like it.
I have actually realized recently that she is what one could consider my “musical muse”. I can’t think of a single instance where I was suffering from writer’s block [...]

If you are easily offended, sometimes offended, or occasionally offended by jokes involving massive historical tragedies, please do not continue reading.
I take no responsibility for any lack of respect or esteem that you may have after reading this post.
Right, so! This is a little exchange that I and a couple of my friends had in the IRC chatroom I hang out in had. I took out most irrelevant chatter, but left in the reactions of amusement (as gibberish as they may be). Also, one of my friends dislikes having his screenname posted ’round the internet (?) so I’ve altered it. [...]

First, a bit of background information. There’s a perfume company that I have a bit of a fixation with, which you may or may not know. The company is Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, commonly called BPAL.
So this company has, every month, an event/update which is termed “A Little Lunacy”. It occurs with [...]
