That's nice. Did you get any pictures? ^^

*Really should track down the inspiration I had in the middle of the night for that post.* XD

Oh I have tons of pictures. ^^ I’m going to be posting some at some point this week. I still have plenty of unpacking and catching up to do. Very Happy I will say that it felt so nice to sleep in a real bed last night though. Sleeping on rocky ground in a tent is fun for a change of pace…but it gets old after a while. Razz So I’m glad to be hone.

Should I change my last post to maybe give you something to go on? ^-^

Well, it's certainly not my best post in history, XD, but I ended up using Diamond completely for that one. *Huggles.*

Hehe, I am glad that you had a good time, though. Should be cool to see your pictures, too!

I know the feeling. That will be me next week....except minus the college. ^-^

Plus we finally signed the contract with our publisher and need to work hard to get our book written by the end of January. O-o It’s exciting…but scary at the same time. Very Happy So I’ll be losing much of my weekend to writing soon but I still have lunch breaks, and Thursday and Friday nights to catch up on RP type things. ^^

What are you majoring in if you don’t mind my asking?

Hehe. *huggle.*

Oh, wow! What are you writing? What's it about?

And right now, the closest that this college offers to Creative Arts (written), is an English Major, basically a teaching degree.

Same here, that's what I majored i as well, though it was English with a minor in teaching. ^^

OK, well me and my husband run a few websites on the side and one of them is all about weird places, haunted places, and unusual legends in our local area. It's called Long Island Oddities. We've made four short documntaries, had a quarterly magazine, and self published one book before this. Oh, we also had a public access TV show, though it was kinda amateurish as we didn't have much of a budget. LOL Razz

So recently we were contacted by a publishing company and we've been in talks about a Long Island Oddities book covering all the urban legends and paranormal hotspots and all....and we just finalized the contract today. O-o It's the first time working with a reputable publisher and not doing things ourselves and we have no attorney so it's a bit scary but exciting. I'm the family skeptic, worrier, and nitpicker though, so I'll be going over that contract with fine tooth and comb before sending it in. ^-^

Hehe, that does sound interesting! Would you say that the offered contract is a good one? If I can ask, what would you say makes it good for you? Sorry that I'm bugging you about it, XD, I'm just curious what the publishing houses are up to since I also want to be published at some point.

And - knock on wood - maybe I can get a post in soon.

Hiya! Very Happy You're not bugging me about anything. If I know I'd be glad to help, though I'm still sort of new to it too. ^-^

We would get 7% of the cost of each book up to 1,000 copies. Over 1,000 copies sold and it goes to 10%. It's about par for a first time published work. If we do another book in the future I can probably get a slightly higher rate, but for new authors it's decent.

We were looking into a ntoher company about a year ago to take our wuarterly zines and compile them into a larger annual magazine / book sort of thing. It would be almost book size, but sold in magazine racks because that's all they have agreements for with bookstores. However they only wanted to pay 2% and if they sell the zine at $7 each it's not worth it.

We have to do some of the promotional work ourselves like book signings and stuff but I think that's going to be fun, and we have their marketing department at our disposal for advice, graphic design on ads etc... (Eep! So scary to think of myself autographing books! O-O Can I hide in the bookkshelves? LOL)

I'm rather impressed so far. They seem really on the ball and fair.

No worries! Whenever you get a chance. Smile

Sorry for the double post, I'm just letting you know that this essay has become a menace in finishing it. I hope to have the final draft complete tomorrow night, since it's due the day after, but we'll have to see. Post will still be coming. <3

No worries. ^^



We just got through Hurricane Sandy = not fun. Razz Two broken windows but we still have electricity and everything & everyone else is OK! That was totally scary. LOL

We're one of the lucky blocks that still has lights. There are power lines on the ground all over. Most of the town is dark but crews are working on it. ^-^

*huggles* Oh, wow! I had forgotten you were on the East Coast. How is everything else? Is it still sturdy? (No outside pets, I hope!)

[And as a side note, do you want to put this RP on a tentative hold until December? If my NaNo crunch doesn't turn out to be as time consuming as it was last year, I'll definitely get a post up, but 1000+ words a day is a lot for how slowly I write, XD.

I'd be happy to brainstorm with you about further plot points with this in the OOC, though, unless you want to pants the RP. *smiles and huggle again*]

Aww thanks. Very Happy A lot of the town is still dark and my 15 year old hasn't had school all week. Today was the first day I could get back to my office and it sure was weird trying to get home in complete darkness without even streetlights, and trees and downed power lines all over the ground. O-o Even the shopping mall is pitch dark. But slowly but surely things are getting fixed so it'll probably be good as new next week. My parents just got their lights back on a few hours ago.

Sure I'm OK with postponing the RP. You're doing Nano? That's awesome! Maybe next year I'll join you. Very Happy I wrote 2200 words this week so far and we're 20% done with the writing for the book! Very Happy

Whatcha writing about? ^^

If you want to toss around some plot ideas I'm game but no rush if you get busy. I'd love to know more of your thoughts on Sapphire's relation to Wiseman as I think you hinted at before.

I've also been thinking about what Obsidian will do when Sapphire goes down to Earth and if he will end up staying at Mamoru's apartment instead of the way it goes in the anime.

Well hope to talk to you soon and enjoy NanoWrimo! ^-^

Gah, sorry about such a long delay in response. NaNo + College = Time effectively nommed.

Sounds like things were quite eventful for you, though. Were you close to the storm when it hit, or were you backed off a bit and ended up catching the backdraft of it?

XD, I'm attempting. Key word there. My goal was 30k, and I'm not near as far along as I'd have liked. I may have to cut my daily wordcount down even more, or switch my NaNo project to what my muse has glomped (a new version of one of my fantasy novels, or a fandom project - both it seems to like right now).

My current attempt, though, is also the first time dipping my feet into the Survival Horror genre. Zombies, mutations, all that fun stuff. Pandora is interesting, in that it also deals with the deconstruction of society. And the utter chaos of not only the beginning of the apocalypse, but also "World War III", so to speak. But there is no negotiating with the Infected.


Regarding Sapphire and Wiseman, we are referring to Sapphire's reaction to possibly being Wiseman's protege?

Oh, what did you have in mind regarding Usagi's timeline? Being this is AU, it could very well draw from both the canon present and future when it's altered.
