I'm back! (?)

2018-12-06T18:39:04Z

Hooboy. It's been a while! Like stepping into an old neighborhood. Some of the potholes have been filled in and there's new people, but it's the same... wtf did someone do to my old house's paint job?

(I'm going to need to come up with a new layout... or find the images on my harddrive and find a different host. Ugh Photobucket no I am not proudly hosted there, I am shamefully hosted there.)

Anyway, hello hello hello, welcome to my cave! It's nice to be back from Tumblr. Not that I ever really was on Tumblr, other than brief flurry of occasional activity followed by months of reblogging cat photos. If you're new to the Dreamwidth style of doing things, I am an old and a creaky and may have answers. Unless they changed something dramatic, in which case I am very good at finding answers. Win/Win, right?

For those who are following me but forgot who I am because it's been literal ages, I am tsukinofaerii, once of LJ, always of AO3. used to be active in Teen Wolf, Marvel and a whole host of other places, but now I mostly kick it and save my energies. (I am Old Now. I accept this.) I'm eternally interested in The Old Steve/Tony of Marvel (MCU is... meh in many ways. I yell at it a lot for reasons I know are stupid), dragons and fantasy, worldbuilding of all sorts, being a curmudgeon, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Age and screaming into the void. I am currently interested in Dragons and Dungeons (running a 5e game for over a year and they've only almost committed accidental genocide once!), especially Dragons and Dungeons that are played on Critical Role, and Kingdom Hearts (KH3 KH3 KH3). I also play Don't Starve, Dragon Age, Stardew Valley and a whole host of other video games, but my playing is sporadic at best. Some views make me dizzy, and in many games it's too much to overcome. For this reason, not much co-op here. Co-op gaming while dizzy is not fun.

I'll try and remember to post more frequently. Adulthood is exhausting. Never grow up. And if you have grown up, de-age yourself stat. Being able to eat a whole cake all by yourself isn't worth having to drive yourself to the ER because you ate a whole cake all by yourself.

... gods I missed icons.

(creeps in)

Not dead. Just incredibly busy and mostly not thinking in long-series thoughts. (Twitter and Tumblr are terrible mind-sinks. Interaction and stimulation without commitment! How very enabling!) But since I turn 30 in less than 4 hours, I figured I'd drop a note here.

TL;DR: House is bought! I have moved in! New office! Family is... still dicking around, because of course they are. Papa passed away in December, which I'm still coming to terms with. I guess part of me knew that he wasn't going to come back home, but I'm too good at fooling myself. And of course said Dicking Around Family are handling the matter of life insurance and final expenses gracefully. By which I mean I'm pretty sure there might be murder, and there's definitely going to be an alignment in who is never being talked to again.

But I have a new house (and even some furniture!), a fulltime position with benefits and am settling in. Things will have to hit a new normal eventually, right?

!!!!!!!!!!!

2013-07-31T16:30:46Z

I meant to do this last week, but got sidetracked.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

I officially started last week. And apparently they decided to back-date my pay? IDK how that actually works, other than that it gave me more money than anticipated and HR says it's groovy, so... uh, yay money?

In personal news... no news. Emma & co are suspiciously silent to requests for information. I'm considering this a sign that I can safely start stashing away cash for a down payment on a house. (I'm going to be in the area for years yet, may as well now that it's affordable.)

I also have yet another kitty! This brings me up to five, which I understand is the official minimum for Crazy Cat Lady status. I've filled out my paperwork and have been told my membership package is in the mail.

I spotted him on my way to work the Friday before last, trapped on a highway bridge in serious danger of being squished. D: So of course, as soon as I realized ZOMG KITTEN!!! I pulled over and chased his little ass down and dragged him into my car. I then lost him. I couldn't find him anywhere, and I'd been opening the doors in the search enough that I sort of assumed he'd escaped, so I left down some water (just in case) and proceeded with checking every hour or so until it became obvious that he wasn't there. I woke up the next morning with a weird feeling like I should check again just in case, and lo! There was a kitten behind the fucking dash board. Of course, the little shit bit me when I pulled him out, but I got him inside at least. Luckily, it had been a cool couple of days, so he wasn't in bad shape.

Since it was a Saturday and literally nowhere is open on weekends around here, I stuck him in a canvas traveling kennel with food and water until I could get him into a vet on Tuesday. There's not any no-kill shelters in my area, just a couple places that take in what they can when they can. All of them? Completely full up. I even met some other people in my same situation at the vet. So I'm taking the hint and he's alllll miiiiine.

According to the vet he was 6 weeks old last Tuesday, so he's about 7 weeks now. Teeny baby. Cupcake adores him, Pumpkin and Set Disapprove, and Duzie is ignoring him. The dogs are mostly a spectrum of fascinated to not giving any fucks. I've decided to name him Derek (the bite is a gift, bonding us through the possibility of rabies).

Pictures as soon as I can get decent ones.

Still here!

2013-07-15T01:52:58Z

Quick update on life while my visiting mother showers.

House situation remains the same. Some day, family will return and I will be free. Fuck knows when that will be.

Richard is back in jail. State wants to keep him for five years, which (with his health) is essentially a life sentence. Currently, the other house is habitated by his boyfriend, his boyfriend's family, one of my cousins and her friend. Considering the people, blockading of the doors continues.

My position at work has been upgraded to staff! This means it shall have full benefits and possibly a raise in pay. The downside is that I have to apply and interview for it. Nothing is guaranteed, which is annoying, but it's a pretty good chance I'll get it.

In the meantime, I'm cut back to 25 hours a week. :| Unamused.

Mother is currently visiting (as mentioned above), and her existence has done terrible things to my writing/editing/etc schedule. She leaves out on Tuesday. I'll miss her, but it'll be nice having the place to myself again. I can't write when she's here. @@ I try, and fail. So I'm looking forward to getting back to work.

Next fic up for editing is girl!Steve2, followed up by vamp!Tony and then onward with the Fallen London AU, woven in and out with Teen Wolf fics. Writing is slowing significantly due to non-fandom writing obligations. (One day, I shall write about that, but today is not that day.)

And now my mom's back and I'm off! Stay safe out there! ♥

Writing update!

2013-05-15T17:17:34Z

Finally, finally posted that auction fic. It had been eating at me, and it's an amazing load off my shoulders to have it up. Hopefully, radiophile will like it enough that it makes up for being oh... about five months late.;;

Now to get the REST of the To Do list in order. With this done, I'm down to six active projects. Of course, other projects crept their way in (gdi brain) and I'm doing some Original Writing that takes some time. (May make a locked post about that later.) At least the official list shrinks! It was double digits! I MAKE PROGRESS.

I also decided that the Fairytale fic is just going to have to become an original. I kind of hate to do it, but trying to find places to etch on the serial numbers was killing it. So it's going to get removed from the To Do List and set aside until I have time to deal with it properly.

(flop) According to the numbers I just ran, if I can just manage to write about 45k and edit about the rest, I'll be finished with this mess and able to concentrate on new stuff rather than stuff that's been clogging the works. Guilt over unfinished fics is a killer.

IM3 hoy!

2013-05-03T15:52:15Z

Saw IM3 and I am so incredibly happy with it. There are no words for how much glee this movie gives me. Stuff I was worried about? Not a concern, handled with aplomb and even humor in some cases.
( Spoilers )
All of that being said: go see it.

Last Lines Meme!

Stiles from muccamukk
I'll post the last lines from my last 21 stories.

If you want, you can ask me about them.
( Here! )
So, looking at this, I end in dialog about a third of the time and tend toward short, direct sentences. Which (as the previous sentence shows) is the exact opposite of my style the rest of the time. Huh.

Fandom is back in diapers

2013-04-11T02:42:28Z

Well, that was an exciting day. I am increasingly disenchanted with young people and current fandom. :\

IDK how many of you follow me on Tumblr (hiii from the hellscape), but there was An Incident. Mucca sums it up beautifully, saving me the time. TL;DR, n00bs in fandom who don't know what they're doing and think this is all Brand New!!!1! who then proceed to make problems for the rest of us. Hilariously, this mostly was resolved because the smallish core of old!fandom remains pretty well intact, and we all knew damned well that we hadn't given permission. If it had been just me, without knowing Valtyr or Pen or anyone, I might have spent ages looking to find if I'd missed an email and then would have likely let the giveaway slide. At least, until/if I caught the commercial angle. IDK then; probably an explosion to rival potential of the supervolcano under Yellowstone, wherein none would be left standing and it would just be a mess of ashes and regret.

And I keep coming back to the fact that it's a good idea. If the poster in question had just been polite and asked, not left it up for money (even if at-cost), not abused NaNo... This is not something I would be unhappy with. In fact, done well, I'd be all over it. Even though that's not the fic of mine I would have chosen for inclusion, just having a printed collection of high quality old favorites would have been so cool. I've got boxes of stuff I printed off back in high school that I still comb through now and then.

As it is, I've updated my blanket statement to be a little more serious and a lot more specific. Still kind of pissed at the way the whole mess went down, but I feel bad for the OP, and I hope the internet isn't too hard on her. Permission is Important! Let this be a lesson to you, internet!

Hopefully, someone will take the same idea and run with it in a more informed way. When/if that happens, my money is ready.

It's not me. It's you.

2013-03-04T20:58:37Z

So, I'm finally owning up to the fact that I don't really like what Steve/Tony fandom's become. I still love the characters and the whole pairing and chatting about them and spinning the wheels about maybe and what if. I love scans and spoilers and I'm dying to see IM3, and when I'm with select people (not naming names, but you probably know who you are) I'm able to dig up that same old enthusiasm.

Because what I love is what Steve/Tony used to be. I wallowed in the long, plotty fic where the romance was often parallel (or secondary! gasp!) to the action plot, I reveled in trivia and character dissections, in long threads about fic ideas and plot lines. And while the fic might have been thin on the ground, there was a pretty good chance that whatever came through would be good quality.

Now... IDK. I'm getting tired of feeling like 95% of the time when I run across a Steve/Tony post, it's not talking about the same characters, even when we're referencing the same universes. The characterizations are barely recognizable, at best. WTF is with SuperFamily and how do I burn it with fire? And Deadpool/Spider-Man? Does anyone even know who Deadpool is anymore? And Natasha does have a personality, you know! It's occasionally cute but for FFS, it's OOC, at least admit that. It's all weird and disconcerting and leaves me feeling like I tried to climb some stairs and my feet slipped out from under me.

I don't even read the fic anymore because the hit:miss ratio has gotten incredibly heavy on the miss. Sturgeon's Law has taken effect. And since most of my fandom engagement is in reading... IDK what's really left for me. Writing is great, but it's mostly solitary work. I can't fangirl on writing alone. Some can; I'm not one of them. So yeah, I'm just BOFQing it up over here and finally admitting something that's been bugging me for a while. No one wants to be that fan, and I bit my lip a thousand times to keep from proving the "comics/old fans are meeeeeeean" whiners true. But here it is: I'm not happy with fandom, and it doesn't seem to be going away. :\

An Anniversary of Note

2013-02-18T01:58:15Z

29 years prior to this day, I was forcible expelled screaming from where I had been held captive in a uterus for nine months.

In other words, it's my birthday! And a lovely one it's been. Last night I got my hair done back up in rainbows (pictures pending, thanks dial-up internet >:[ ), went to dinner with a cousin and her boyfriend (other cousin & her attachments skipped out, completely predictably; at this point, I'm neither surprised nor hurt) and went to see Warm Bodies (good movie, not great, but worth the admission).

Today, the day of the Birth itself, was nice and peaceful. Twitter people kept saying nice things to me, and cookinguptales and valtyr both got me Luxuriantly Coiffed Sorrow-Spiders in Fallen London, which were enough for me to get my very own Green-Eyed Devil and to keep one of the darlings for my own. Isn't it adorable?

I also finished reading a truly atrocious romance novel: The Naked Viscount by Sally MacKenzie. I may do a review of it, either on here or on Tumblr. Let's just say that I'm glad I only paid $0.47 for it. I can't believe there's a series, and this one's supposedly the best according to reviews. Most of that less-than-fifty-cents value was in snark.

The major downside to having read it is that I am all out of patience for questionable writing for a while. Tried to read a fic and got thrown out by one tiny mistake. :( Hopefully I will recover quickly.

Other than the above, matters move slowly. I'm inching along in the Auction Fic (20k and counting), but due to The Matter of My Birth, I've not written or done anything really productive this weekend. And it's nice.

Why do novelizations universally suck?

2013-01-31T15:22:31Z

No, really. Why?

Quick backstory: I recently got an eReader as a gift to myself! (Kobo Touch, am in love with it thus far, though I had to sell a couple of souls just to get my hands on the damned thing.) Change jars build up over time, yo! So I was looking for books to add to it and thought, "Hey, the Teen Wolf novelization is out there! Maybe I should take a peek at that."

And then I hesitated and had to ask, Do I really want to spend money on a book I won't finish? Because, mark my words, I won't finish it. I already know this without even having looked at the previews or any reviews. I am not one of those people who will trudge through a book solely for completion's sake. If it sucks, I will throw it against a wall and then pawn it off on a relative or, in extreme cases, Goodwill. (I may eventually find and designate an "instead of eBook" throwing object for these occasions.)

I've read novelizations before. I've read the Sailor Moon novels (rehashes of the US episodes, poorly written, unimaginative), started the Iron Man II novelization (absolutely unreadable, dull, full of both plot holes and SPaG errors) and backed slowly away from many others after just glancing through them. Why is this a thing?

Ideally, novelizations should be another way to lure people into the franchise. "Oh, I liked that book, I'll give the movie a try!" Alternately, they're a way to get current fans to give you money. "OMG THEY MADE A BOOK!" There should be no How Desperate Am I? question. No wrangling with yourself over purchasing sub-quality material, no rolling your eyes because "they made a book out of that?", secure in the knowledge that it will suck, and you will be glad to have saved yourself a couple of bucks. Setting aside for a moment the "I can get better shit for free on the internet" issue, it's just a matter of common sense. You wouldn't go to a T-shirt company, have your logo printed on a t-shirt and just sort of shrug when the shirts show up holey with the logo smudged, then expect people to pay $20 for it!

I'm not expecting Terry Pratchett or Stephen King, here. Just something entertaining, readable and tied into an existing franchise. I don't get why this is so hard! Fans do it all the time. Track down a popular author in your franchise with work you like and say, "Write me a story with these specs and I'll give you Real People Money, with bonus bragging rights and maybe some merch." Hell, hold a fanfic contest and say that the top however-many will get published in a short story anthology. (Trickier, but not unfeasible, I think.)

Or at fucking least make sure your questionably chosen author has a fucking editor.

Note: Copypasta'd to Tumblr, since that's where Teen Wolf hangs, and I feel this is Relevant.

Happy New Year!

2013-01-03T18:36:50Z

I have utterly failed at keeping up with DW lately. /o\ I'm just tired and stressed. Home life is a hassle, as always. Matters pretty much continue as they have been, and may be continuing for another year or more, gods save me. I've mostly been over on Tumblr, where there's less interaction and more mindlessness.

So, end of the year writing meme, because those are easy.

CARDS

2012-11-23T05:59:28Z

No shiny graphic this year, because I am lazy.

Do you want a card from me this year? (You know you do.) I've not bought any yet, but I plan on buying secular cards sometime soon and (hopefully) getting them mailed off. Also soon. Since I'm kind of running late on this, please hurry?

If you'd like one this year, drop your address here. Comments are screened. If you're uncomfortable with commenting, feel free to email me (my DW username at Gmail) or PM me.

ETA: If you don't do cards, give me your address anyway and I'll glitterbomb you instead. :D You'll be thinking of me for as long as the glitter lasts. (I.E., forever.)

Happy Halloween!

2012-10-31T20:46:43Z

So.

Once again, tomorrow it is November.

NaNoWriMo is coming.

(gulp)

I've done terribly when it comes to editing/posting my last two NaNos. (I know, I know D: I'm a horrible editor.) This year, I'm going to buckle down and finish that damnable Ults monster I've been poking for freaking ever. IDK if I'll post excerpts this year..? I usually do, because Hello, Public Shame! It works! But starting towards the end of the fic, that seems a bit odd to post excerpts and updates for. Hm. Either way, I figure I can grind out the rest in however many days and still have time to get something done for apocalypsebang. (Author signups don't end until rough drafts are due, which is 12/12/12! Hint hint.) Then, the annual cap_ironman winter exchange! And then and then and then...

I feel like I should post a list of Fics I Need To Write and The Order I Am Supposedly Writing Them In. Just so people can hold my nose to the grindstone. :( But so many shiny ideas!

All of this shall be followed by flailing dramatically at the winter break because my mother is coming to visit (without my father, whew) and Shit Shall Get Done. I finally have permission to "treat the house as my own" (translation: "we're not coming back any time soon"), which means renting a truck and getting to work. With my mom there, I might even be able to get the guest bedrooms back in order! Fencing repaired &/or installed! A shed put up for hay! Get the heater fixed, or at least evaluated and told "lol buy a new one". Hell, at this point I will settle for "throw away trash that various people refuse to admit is trash". "We can fix it one day" is no excuse.

Finally, a quick Halloween fic! It's Ults, set (very roughly) in current canon. Which means yes, Steve is currently PotUS. You can find it here: President CapWolf.

Soooooo... I'm kind of in need of a beta for my cap_ironman bang? :\ I know I shouldn't have put it off so long, but I kind of fail in a thousand ways right now. It's an Ultimates SciFi AU, about 45k~ words. Even just looking it over, pointing out typos/blatant bullshut and whapping it with, "BAD AUTHOR. NO COOKIE" would be a help. I post the 22nd, but I'm traveling the 16-23, so... Kind of fucked, yeah. Someone halp? Pleeeeeease? Muccamukk is a doll and all should praise her name.

State of the Faerii

2012-09-12T15:49:28Z

Oh, DW, I missed you baby.

So, I have been a quiet Faerii lately, so a quick run down of life:

Everything's groovy.

No, really. I haven't seen Richard in weeks, Teen Wolf is just active enough to keep me from languishing while I wait for the Avengers to chill, and I'm very (omg so much!) pleased with my artists for the Cap/Iron Man Bang.

I'm going to wincon in October (leaving the 16th, return the 23rd). Current plans are to attend as one of the scarlet stockings. This isn't a costume I should have put off to the last second, so we'll see how it goes in real life.

Other than that, kittens grow well. They're more than old enough to be sent to new homes, but I can't find anyone who'll take them! If anyone has friends in the Florida Panhandle who are interested in a kitten, hit me up. If worst comes to worst, I may end up catapulted into being a An Old Cat Lady before time time. Ah, well, it was inevitable.

On writing news, the submission to the Teen Wolf contest went off without a hitch, and I will post the fic as soon as I lose the contest. C/IM Bang needs editing, but not terribly bad. It's less horrible than I expected. (Still need to add a sex scene, gdi.) I'm also working on polybigbang. This is where it gets trickier. I'm going to use Poly Bang as an impetus to force me to finish that massive monster of an Ultimates Fairy Tale AU. But sunspot and I are bros and I don't want to let her down by not submitting. So I'm doing two polybangs, for an estimated total of 100k new words. Due by October 10.

With a Big Bang in need of editing.

And ears to create and sew onto hoodies.

While cobbling together a decent costume.

I'll give you a second to pantomime about how you can't believe I'm this stupid. No, it's cool, I get it.

(twiddles thumbs) ¬.¬

If anyone needs me, I'm curled up into a ball under my desk wondering how I keep doing this to myself.

ETA: VH1 is being shipped with AfterElton by Teen Wolf, after having been set up by Entertainment Weekly. I feel like we've crossed some sort of fannish event horizon.

Catching up!

2012-08-21T02:04:56Z

See. This is what I do. I get wrapped up in things, go silent, and the shove it all into one post like I can make up for it all in a go. Sad, but my life, such as it is.

Flash rec: Go read DILF for a shot of fluffy kid fic. Even if you're not in Teen Wolf fandom, it's a self-contained no-werewolves AU.

For anyone who's been wondering where I've been the last week, "the depths of hell" seem to cover it. My boss and I had (unnecessary, painful, ridiculous) work training seven out of nine hours last Monday through Thursday, which meant that those other two hours just weren't enough. It left my phones completely uncovered other than one guy taking messages, because our new department manager Mike was somehow under the impression that this is our slow time. Even though he's the one who loaded us down with shit to do in the first place. I was able to move most of the teacher-work to email and get that done while everyone else was learning what a SysAdmin panel is, but the student work piled up. Add on top of that all the upgrades, changes and installations we do at this time of year and I ended up working 10-12 hours at a go all week. :\ All overtime unpaid, because it wasn't cleared by management, but my other option was to not get my work done and get reprimanded for that. So yeah. Doing what I can to keep the load down on my boss, because she seriously doesn't need this shit right now.

Another order from on high that recently came down is that my hours will be changing for a little while. Starting this coming Tuesday, I'll be working the 10:30-7:30 shift for about three weeks or so, Fridays 8-5. I am reasonably okay with this, since I'm more of a night person anyway, and working evenings will mean that I have more time to Get Shit Done after five when most of the management has gone home. At best, it will give me time to work on writing and betaing.

Fanfic Comes Along. I'm still plugging away at my Cap/IM Big Bang. Hopefully it will either kickstart into hard fast writing or remain fairly smallish and be ready by the 31st. Not sure which it'll be, truthfully. In the past few days it's morphed from amusing AU with gratuitous cultural nudity into existentialist mess pretending to be deep as it ponders the meaning of life, and I'm not really sure how that happened. If all goes well on the C/IM bang, I will likely be sliding sideways into a double Polybang and use that for a push to finish the Monster Fic of Monsters. The second polybang will probably be a short Teen Wolf puppypack thing, patched together so that if the Monster Fic doesn't get done in time I won't be empty handed come due date. (Let's be honest, I'll have to do 90k in a month, which is technically possible, but at my current writing speed I don't want to bank on it.)

Finally, 9/10ths. Holy fuck, I was not expecting that response to a 6k mostly-exposition fic. I've not started replying to comments yet, because every time I have a moment I look at the numbers and panic and then I have to run off somewhere and breathe. Seriously, those numbers are higher than the ones on my 70k dragon AU for reverse bang, which was posted ages ago. No words. No words at all.

And finally-finally, because I hate Tumblr because it gives me ideas and I can only be grateful my home internet connection makes it too hard to have one of my own.
( Trigger Warning: 130 words of depressing as fuck ficlet )

Fucking Teen Wolves

2012-08-06T01:04:30Z

So, Teen Wolf.

Yeah, that happened. I have opinions and thoughts on how to fix the kanima issue and have had my heart torn out repeatedly by what was supposed to be a campy fun terrible teen werewolf drama. GDI.

At least the cast is freaking adorable? Their cuteness makes up for the destruction of my soul that the show is doing. And I can't even feel bad about finding them hot, since they're mostly older than they look.

On that note, this happened (spoiler for recent eps), followed by a metric fuckton of similar things, and then I accidentally ficced. So if anyone wants to beta slightly less than 7k of Demon Stiles, I would appreciate it. SPN knowledge not really needed, since I played fast and loose with the rules.

Teen Wolf is mostly keeping me distracted from work sucking seven different ways. I'm packed full of meetings and stuff that has to be done now now now now, and I'm pretty sure the temporary VP has it out for my boss. She was out of the office on Thursday, and then walked in a half hour late on Friday. Because temp!VP had emailed her a meeting appointment while she was gone for first thing Friday morning, she missed the meeting, got in trouble and then got told she should have filled out a leave request for being a half hour late.

Who the fuck does that?

And next week I have a fricking Basic Training Bootcamp thing for the job I've been doing for almost four years. IDK why they're making me and my boss attend, but it means that our phones are going to be entirely uncovered for the whole day. If anything happens while we're in "bootcamp", we're royally screwed. Fun. :|

Have finally buckled down on Steve/Tony Big Bang. It's haaaaaard. I'm not used to writing SciFi, so it's taking a while to get rolling in it. I'm making myself do a minimum of 1k daily. Eventually I shall find my groove. And it shall be a groovy groove.

Kittens continue growing, as they tend to do. I took some time and a half-dozen boxes to make them a cardboard kitty playhouse. They'd started climbing out of the big plastic tote I'd been keeping them in, and really, it was too small anyway. They didn't have enough room to run and play, but I couldn't risk letting them out when I wasn't home. So now they have about a quarter of the living room to play in, with tunnels, levels, a hammock and all sorts of things that jingle and bounce and sparkle. It has the added advantage of being large enough that Momma Cat is comfortable staying in there most of the time, so the dogs are less likely to be randomly assaulted.

So. My life. (sigh)

Home and EEEEEEE

TL;DR shit's going down at home again. I'm safe, but nervy as fuck and barricaded in until Monday. I ended up taking the cabinets off the hinges to scrub them just to ease my nerves. :\ It's a complicated mess. Richard stayed home this weekend and now we're officially On The Outs. (sighs) He's making all sorts of threats, but with any luck at all I'll get through. The cops were useless, as always, because to them Richard stealing my grandfather's car is a fucking civil issue. Luckily, this time I have the contact info of an investigator who is Very Displeased by the way things have been handled. So crossing my fingers.

But I'm not going to focus on that, because it's depressing and I have something much more happy making. sunspot made podfic of The Inaugural Meeting!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I haven't been able to listen yet, but go give her love guys! She's amazing! It's over here!
