Warning: rant ahead. I might come across as entitled or catty, but this is something that's been really frustrating me.I'll be honest. I like writing fanfic, and I like getting feedback on my writing. I want to hear about the parts that worked for people and the parts they didn't. Parts that made them like the characters and the parts that...

Kiss Me, Kill Me and Other True Cases by Ann RuleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars"Kiss Me, Kill Me"This is a wide ranging piece, more of an essay about cold cases than Rule's usual detailed examination of a single crime. She starts and ends with Sandra Bowman, who was brutally murdered in her own apartment just before Christmas 1968, and whose murderer...

There is a particular scene I remember where john goes back in time along with many other expedition members. John wakes up abruptly, his father thinks he had a nightmare- john doesn't deny it saying something about his father dying. His father offers midnight pancakes. Any suggestions?? I get the feeling it could have been a rough trade but I...
Join the Late Treat Club! –
yuletide (1 ч. на 1-м месте)
Every year I make a list of prompts to treat, and every year I only make it through a portion of that list. (Especially true this year, because wrist surgery robbed me of nine potential writing days.)But I got treated through the NYR one year, and it was absolutely lovely, getting a gift out of nowhere. So why should I let the passing of the...

ursulav (1 ч. на 1-м месте)
Here we have a post that I am more than a little afraid to write, but I will do it because I am me and I do not let good sense stop me. And also I have written sagas of having electrodes taped to my butt, and if y'all can handle that, you can handle anything. And, perhaps most obviously, if I can do this, anybody can do it, and perhaps my stark...
