My 2 cents on the Sherlock/Elementary crap going...
Here’s how I feel.
First of all, I hate the fact that CBS is trying to cash in on the “BBC!Sherlock” success with their watered down, Americanized version that they’re calling “Elementary”. To me it’s just another example of Hollywood television writers being utterly lazy and completely unoriginal while riding riding the coattails of an already...

Real Life Stress - Fear of Job Loss
I’m in an extremely stressful position right now, and I’m trying really hard not to freak out and leap to conclusions.
I come back to the office after three days working from home (to care for one of my girls who’d caught the flu) and the weekend to find out that two people who I never expected to be laid off have been let go.
I’m getting horrible flashbacks to the...

Best & Easiest Homemade Potato Soup Recipe Ever! →
Although, when I make this recipe, I swap out the ham for cooked bacon, I cook the potatoes in actual chicken broth, and I add a can of drained, whole kernel corn.
So good!

The Plot Bunnies are a-Hopping
Oh good grief…
I have more than enough to write…
And suddenly, out of nowhere, the plot to a sequel to “Confidence Lost” springs to my mind.
And it’s a good plot…
It’s a fun plot…
It’s a plot that will weave another fandom into this verse.
Specifically Warehouse 13.
Oh dear lord…
What has my brain wrought?

Daily 10: 10 Science Fiction and Fantasy Endings... →
All too often, endings are synonymous with “letdown.” We all love to complain about how our favorite science fiction TV series or movies ended. And we’re kind of sick of twist endings and “WTF Mindfrak” endings.

Twine: a tool for creating interactive stories →
Was looking for software specifically to help me in writing a hypertext story that I’ve had in the works for the better part of a year. Found this today. It’s a free program called Twine. I haven’t tried it out yet, since I’m still at work and can’t install it on this computer. However, as soon as I get home, once my daughters are asleep and if my husband will be...

Original Flash Fiction: With Regret, Without...

When she buried her face in her hands, looking small, weak, wounded, and vulnerable, I felt a reflexive desire to apologize and comfort her. I loved her, after all, and had never meant to hurt her.

A new original story is brewing inside my head.
A red haired woman who maintains an entire lighthouse all by herself crosses paths with a mermaid whose lower half consists of an octopus’s tentacles rather than a fish tail. Additionally, the mermaid appears to be vampiric.
Is the mermaid evil, dangerous, or just misunderstood?
Why does a single woman run an entire lighthouse on her own?

I hate how being an adult means you have to sacrifice so much time doing things you love in order to do things to be responsible.
angel-gidget asked: Happy V-day! Have some mini-fic: Tam sighed as she looked at the rose and the cheezy card on her table. It was sweet. It was sensitive, and it proved something she'd known about Tim for some time now. For all his slick suits and fancy ninja moves, Tim Drake was--at his core--a total dork. She hugged the cliched teddy bear and ate the candy anyway.

This is not good…
After seeing the cover for the new World’s Finest, and knowing that Earth-2 Helena is here because somehow she and Power Girl somehow ended up stranded on DCnU Earth by some strange means, I’m being inspired.
I’ve got this plot concept in my head where Helena is not the only relation of the Bat-clan stranded there from Earth-2. The idea is that the DCnU...

Huntress was a Robin in Earth-2?!
I saw this just a minute ago while looking at the DC Comics blog for new Earth-2 information.
I’m still attempting to pick up my jaw from the floor.
Power Girl is back, she was Supergirl. No big surprise there.
Huntress is here, and SHE WAS A ROBIN!!!
And look at both their uniforms.
*rubs eyes* Did someone in DC’s creative department actually LISTEN TO FANS when they said they...

Variant Cover for Earth 2 by Reis and Prado.
dcwomenkickingass:
Yes Wonder Woman is wearing thigh high boots and a skirt. I can’t even imagine what Power Girl will wear on this earth …
This is Earth-2, right? So the Batman seen here is the one who’s Huntress’s (Helena Wayne) daddy?
Also, considering how old Helena looks (I’m assuming early/mid 20s?), factoring that into how old that would make Bruce in this world,...

The results of the Nielsen Survey that DC did post reboot are in and the results are depressing. In an article on ICv2, DC’s Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood outlined the results.
