So, I've been in a weird place lately.

Really short version: I hated my job so much I quit before I had a new one, which led to lots of stress and lots more job applications, interviews, and disappointments. At the same time the job I quit was at a place that was just too ridiculous and disorganized to function without me, and so even now, three months later with a 90% chance of having a new job by the end of the week, it is very likely I will have to work two full time jobs for a few weeks while they NO SRSLY GUYS get their shit together. This would be a lot easier if I was good at not caring about things that really have nothing to do with me...

But so unless something really silly happens in the next few days I will have a new job at a wonderful wonderful place that has all sorts of benefits. I don't even know what they are, but they have them, and I haven't worked at an establishment with so much as a lunch break in two years so THIS IS PRETTY FUCKING EXCITING. I think I have more than a week vacation in a year which is just so exciting I can't even deal with it.

All of this was going on at the same time as the Depression thing that happens to too many people these days. I would sit around and sort of vaguely ponder some unnecessary specific aspect of Real Book back story and berate myself for the disgustingness of me, who actually knows what I want to accomplish in my life when so many don't, but who just can't get the productivity ball rolling. The mental screaming of "just do it. That is the solution. Just DO it." It is very hard in a first world problem/it's stupid to even complain about it when other people have worse shit going on kind of way.

It's been almost a year since I finished Whispers, and once I get new job I will finally have the money to print the hard copies (the reason I've yet to do that). It will be very exciting and hopefully motivational to hold it in my hand like that. I have the entire first book of what I like to think I can work down into a reasonably sized trilogy outlined to the minute detail. I also have a few k I might keep of the actual version, but while I was enjoying the completion of this outline I discovered that one of my more-fun mental fantasies was putting my original outline for Whispers from the Rye up on this journal to sort of reminisce about that fic I loved so much, and so I've decided to actually do that.

It's been a long time and maybe it makes no sense to anyone else, but on the off chance that someone will enjoy it below the cut is what remains of my entire original outline for WftR. (I only started saving the chapter outlines after Chasing 7)

And now you know all of my secrets. I hope you are all sufficiently disillusioned. Looking back... /shame.

The Real Book outline doesn't even have "omg" or "angst" in it... >.> okay maybe just a few times... and a good bit of "ust"...

tldr; no one cares.

Pairing: MuraWolf
Rating: Nc17
Warnings: PWP/Moderate Angst
Beta: melusine474

This is a prize fic for diorama23 who took part in the kkm_wolframfans' 2011 Birthday Event.

Her prompt was: "A Murata/Wolfram PWP, no angst or bagging of Yuuri.
Okay, some angst I can allow. But no Yuuri bashing and with hopeful ending? Pretty please with a cherry on top ;) Just food for thought."

AN: I tried to make it not too angsty. (See, she didn't want angst originally, but then I begged and she agreed that a little was okay...) I also have a secret love affair with these two so I was SO HAPPY to be given the excuse to write this. I hope you enjoy!

This is a prize fic for the lovely disownmereturns who won the kkm_wolframfans' 2011 Birthday Event.

Her prompt was: "Sara, Wolfram and Yuuri, AU, slice of life and domesticity :'D "

AN: This fic was harder than one might think to write... Hopefully it is still enjoyable! I ended up having a lot of fun with it once I figured out what to do. <3 Congratulations again!

So andreanna made me the cutest birthday present and so I'm sharing it with you here since I post cosplay things here as well as fic and... well... I said so.

It is only slightly NSFW?

Ficlet for kkm_wolframfans who participated in a community event themed for Wolfram's Birthday.

I shamelessly used it as an excuse to write Whispers!verse fic. This takes place between the final chapter and the Epilogue.

It is rated Nc-17 for the usual reasons. ^___^ ENJOY!

Hello lovely lovely flist. ^_________^

I have the PDFs of all of the abridged versions.

Click Click

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

Hi guys!

Do any of you know a good site to host the downloads so that I can keep track of how many people download the PDFs? Mostly for my own curiosity/ego's sake, I'd like to know.

PDFs 99% done.

Mostly I'm working on the covers for the printed ones now. ^.^ (And fighting my need to re-draw the maps so I can put them in the PDFs without them looking stupid...They are all horizontal-y and not so vertical *sadface*)

How come none of you told me that I changed Shou Shimeron soldiers into Dothraki half way through Chasing the Dragon? They went from having ponytails to braids...........

I also spelled Habalouge at least 5 different ways...

>.<

And the chapters! All of them are too long! Why did I think 50-60 pages was an appropriate chapter length?

I'm almost done with making the Chasing PDF now... this is taking way longer than I thought, sorry!

I gots a present!

Weasley-Detective drew me a beautiful present! Please go and comment and tell her how lovely it is!!

My present for all of you is finally coming along as well. It was hard to find a program I liked. I played with Scribus and InDesign but just ended up going with Open Office in the end... Lets just hope it doesn't crash when I get to 300 pages like it did last time I tried something like this. I should be able to export it to ebook/pdf within the week. *crosses fingers* The hardest part has been "fixing" Wishful Haze. I sort of just want to delete it entirely... I settled for changing words and deleting paragraphs. It's still not very good, but if I spent time making it "good" I would probably never be done. Anyway, it will probably be over 1,000 pages (No, really. Easily over 1,000 pages)

I am going to make myself a print copy, but I know it's going to be stupid expensive. Because of how long it is I might have to split it in half if I want it printed at all. I will post more info on this when I'm actually going to do this in case any else is crazy enough to want a hard copy. And also crazy enough to spend over $80.00 on basically doujinshi. I would, of course, make no money or be "selling" it. I would literally just be charging for print cost. (I'll spare you my rant on why I think fanfiction should always be free) >.< But really these printing sites are so expensive! Seriously!

Real!Book is getting more plotted... but I've been sneaking in other fic writing with melusine474... Post DH DH... Epilogue compliant?! Wut. My brain.
