Sunday Night WTFkry

Posted in blog, wtf | Leave a comment
I can’t decide if this is WTFkery or not. On one hand, I can’t imagine taking an 8 year old into A&F to do any sort of shopping, but then, I can’t actually imagine shopping at A&F period. Still, I guess the idea of actually padding a string bikini for anyone under the age of 14 seems a little…sad. Sure, I get that a lining would definitely be appropriate, but padded? Eh.  Over-sexualization of children or overreaction? I *will* say there is some WTFkery going on at the A&F site, though. This is the actual product link now. However, someone at racked.com managed to snag a screen shot of the thing a little while ago, and it was clearly listed as a “push up”. That does seem a bit excessive, if you ask me.… Read more

Pensive

Posted in blog, forum, pensive | Leave a comment
About six years ago, I started an online forum. It was a spin off of a gaming site known as Ladies of Neverwinter (which is now defunct). My reasons for creating the site were several, but the main reason was that LoN was shut down shortly after I found it. I’d barely scratched the surface of what an online community could be, and I had enough tech savvy to start up my own. So I did. I got a webhost and a domain name and figured out enough php and mysql to get phpbb up and running and off I went. A lot of it was a great learning experience. There’s a large balancing act when you’re a forum admin, particularly on a subject that many people are passionate about. (In this case, gaming. At the time everyone was about Neverwinter Nights and Baldur’s Gate.) There was fanfic, fan art,… Read more

Word Whore Thursday: The Methods to My Madness

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
I’m over at Word Whores today talking a little bit about my writing process – the whole pantster vs plotter argument, though I’m not really sure I have much of a method these days. (Aside from “Get the damn book written.” but that probably goes without saying…) Also, Pocket After Dark is running a contest to win seven signed books (including Brush of Darkness). All you have to do is comment about which cross-over you’d like to see between your favorite characters from whatever series you like. Anyone up for an Abby and Bones pairing? LOL In other bits of random news, I do have tentative release dates for the sequels to Brush of Darkness – which will be March 2012 and October 2012, respectively. No titles or anything yet, but I’ll obviously post more more when I know it. (And yes, I have to get an FAQ up on… Read more
